Editorial Reviews: The soaring career of Shia LaBeouf was powered in no small way by Disturbia, an effective surprise hit thriller that he headlines alongside Carrie-Anne Moss and David Morse. Covering ground previous trodden by the likes of Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Disturbia finds LaBeouf’s Kale, a year after the death of his father, subjected to house arrest. And as cabin fever sets in, he starts to look out of his window and spy on his neighbours. As you do. This is, naturally, where the problems soon begin. Because Kale soon starts to get suspicious of the antics of the quiet Mr Turner, played by David Morse, eventually convincing himself that his neighbour is, in fact, a killer. This fairly straightforward plot, however, is then mined effectively by a talented cast and director D J Caruso. And Disturbia, to its credit, has its fair share of bumps and jumps along the way, working best when it plays things low key. It doesn’t, ultimately, manage to prolong the suspense it generates for the full running time, and neither is it a top grade thriller. But Disturbia is still good at what it does do: serving up solid entertainment, a few thrills, and showcasing one of cinema’s fast-rising talents. Well worth a watch. --Jon Foster
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent stuff!! Comment: OK, so the film is a spin off from Rear Window which, incidentally, remains a master piece to this day! James Stewart, Grace Kelly, and of course Raymond Burr, as the films Mr. Nastie, were excellent. I enjoyed the film immensely and am old enough (just) to remember the impact the film made when it was first released. James Stewart was a big star, and rightly so too, and Grace Kelly was part of every mans dream - well most. But Disturbia has enough flair about it to be worthy of merit in its own right. Shia Lebeouf is good in the main role, as is his mum played by Carrie-Anne Moss and David Morse is excellent as Mr Nastie. And Ashley, played by Sarah Roemer, provides a most refreshing leading lady. The still photographs of Miss Roemer I had seen before I saw the film do her no justice at all. She has a real something about her, a buzz, and at the same time, the girl next door thing if you like. I hope she continues to bring the breath of fresh air to many more films to come. As with Rear Window, we, the audience are drawn into Disturbia as one of the observers. I found myself almost searching for a pair of binoculars such was the impact the film had on me. My wife, sometimes not the easiest to please as movies go, thought the film was tremendous! Some reviewers seemed to be paranoid by the fact that the film did not fall under any particular genre. It was a thriller with some light hearted moments and an uncomplicated love story. My own personal feelings however suggest that it falls a little short of being horrific by todays standards. Disturbia is a fabulous film and my advice to any would be viewer is this: Do not to let the excellent Rear Window allow for any pre-conceived opinions of a detrimental nature to spoil a most agreeable 104 minutes viewing that Disturbia provides! Sit back and enjoy! Customer Rating: Summary: spy on your neighbours, get the girl!!! Comment: I really like the actor David Morse and he steals the show here. Well Labeouf is pretty good here too, in a very boy-next-door way, but Morse is genuinely frightening. The plot unravels in a pretty shoddy way. I mean what happens at the end? I understand it's a fun film but none of the characters look at all shaken up by what's happened; it's a bit sick actually, as if this is what happens regularly. much camper than rear window, and downright silly in places, it is worth a watch, if that's your cup of tea and i have to admit it is mine. Customer Rating: Summary: Jumpy! Comment: Well, I really enjoyed this film! Saw it a couple of months ago but its memorable - surely the mark of a good film if ever there was one! LaBeouf does what he does best - kind of funny, sulky teenager who's been a bit naughty. Bound under house arrest he spends his day spying on his hot neighbour on one side and the murderous monster who lives on the other side! When the guy starts dating LaBeouf's mum he's obviously not very happy about the situation! In a bit to find out more of what he's been up to, young LaBeouf recruits his friends to investigate the house, dig up any old skeletons in the cupboard so to speak! Very jumpy towards the end, I really enjoyed it, its definitely worth a watch! Customer Rating: Summary: average stuff Comment: I was expecting to be blown away with this film, but it left not much of an impression on my mind. I do find myself agreeing with another reviewer that there are similarities to rear window but i would rate that classic and brilliant film a five instead of this.SLB was fairly good in the part, he was mildly witty and fairly impressive as the hormonal teenager kept in his room and witnessing dreadful things across the road in the opposite house, however with a curfew and an electronic tag that reacts to any movement over a certain distance he is pretty much kept prisoner. It was a pleasant way to pass the time but i would not attempt to watch it again. Customer Rating: Summary: HITCHCOCK RIP-OFF !! Comment: Utter trash. And to get straight to the point - it is clearly a rip-off of the classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Rear Window". Do yourself a favour and buy the original Rear Window if you want a good, intelligent suspense-filled thiller. Forget Shia LaBoof and watch a real actor, a real man, show you how it's done - James Stewart. More Reviews
