Disturbia
After his father is killed in a car accident, things unravel for Kale Brecht and he is placed under house-arrest for punching his Spanish teacher. He is confined to his house with no available entertainment, and decides to snoop his neighbors with a binoculars and video camera for killing time, and becomes a voyeur of his next door neighbor Ashley Carlson. When Ashley sees Kale and his friend Ronnie at the window, he tells out of the blue that their neighbor Robert Turner seems to be a wanted serial killer from Austin, Texas. The trio sneaks around his house, and Kale begins to suspect that Mr. Turner might really be the murderer.

Unfortunately, what starts out as a rounded and intelligent thriller soon turns up the silly for an OTT finale that betrays the tense and well-plotted build-up.

...an unabashedly high-concept premise that's primarily employed to surprisingly positive effect...

While Disturbia does nothing to advance or honour Hitchcock, the movie succeeds on its modest terms.

In addition to borrowing the idea behind Rear Window, Disturbia pays homage to Hitchcock in its sense of pacing, as well, in its use of the Hitchcock's signature slow build.

When it comes to recalling the best of Hitchcock's important film lessons, here is a decent movie that at least remembers the buildup is just as important as the jolt.

Disturbia is a well-made, very entertaining thriller.
April 16, 2007
This is a cool little thriller with some big scares and fine performances.
July 07, 2010
A feature-length alt-rock-soundtrack shill that merges with violin strains that would make even Bernard Herrmann blanch.
April 13, 2007
For the most part a taut, careful thriller that emphasizes suspense over blood and gore.

It eventually evolves into a credible thriller, one pointedly rather than coincidentally embedded in the trivia of its time.

You'll jump as if you've had electrodes attached to your sensitive parts; but when your nerve endings stop tingling, your brain won't remember a thing.

Offsetting the chilly voyeurism is a viable teen romance and an appealing sense of humor. Though there are occasional lapses in logic, Disturbia is consistently suspenseful and entertainingly disturbing.
