Description

Kale has a life most teenagers would envy. He spends his days endlessly playing video games, surfing the net, eating junk food and watching cable. He has complete free rein of the house, and a beautiful young hottie named Ashley has just moved in next door. There’s only one problem—he’s not allowed to leave the house. Kale’s under court-ordered house arrest for three months, and if he takes one step beyond a 100-foot perimeter of the house, his next confinement will be in a real prison.

    **_Shia LaBeouf in a Rear Window-like thriller_** Five months shy of 18 years-old, a teen in suburbia (LaBeouf) finds himself under house arrest but, thankfully, an attractive new girl moves in next door (Sarah Roemer) to stir his interest. He starts to suspect that a neighbor might be a notorious serial killer (David Morse). Carrie-Anne Moss is on hand as his mother. "Disturbia" (2007) has a set-up similar to Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” and later imitations, such as “Fright Night” and “Abominable.” LaBeouf’s star was rising at the time and he’s fine as the everyman teen protagonist. Roemer’s star was also rising, but her career never panned out into anything significant. It’s perfectly fine as a psychological thriller with a one-dimensional milieu in the mold of “Rear Window” or “What Lies Beneath,” but never becomes anything more than that and is easily the least of ’em. It’s strangely dull. But, if you like the cast, give it a try. It runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot in the heart of Greater Los Angeles in the town of Whittier. GRADE: C+

    Disturbia is a modern thriller that captures the essence of suspense through a clever blend of drama, tension, and relatable characters. The film introduces us to Kale, played by Shia LaBeouf, a teenager under house arrest who finds unexpected ways to pass the time. His curiosity about the lives of his neighbors quickly escalates into something far more gripping. The movie's strong setup in the first act establishes both the stakes and Kale's emotional depth, making the story feel grounded despite its escalating tension. David Morse's performance as a mysterious neighbor is one of the film's highlights, delivering an understated but chilling presence that keeps the audience guessing. The cast as a whole is well-chosen, with Sarah Roemer and Carrie-Anne Moss rounding out the ensemble in complementary roles. One of the more thought-provoking aspects of the film is how it toes the line between innocent curiosity and intrusive stalking, making you question Kale’s actions as well as your own perspective as a viewer. This layered tension adds depth to the experience, even as the story transitions into its action-packed third act. What sets Disturbia apart is its ability to combine an intimate, character-driven story with moments of real suspense. The film may flirt with familiar tropes, but it does so with enough charm and style to stand out. With a solid script, strong performances, and a touch of modern flair, Disturbia is an engaging thriller that’s well worth revisiting for fans of suspenseful storytelling.
