When he lashes out at a well-intentioned but insensitive teacher he finds himself under a court-ordered house arrest. His mother continues to cope working extra shifts to support herself and her son as she tries in vain to understand the changes in his personality. The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale as he takes chances to extend the boundaries both physical and emotional of his confinement. His interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home toward those of his neighbors including a mutual attraction to the new girl next door (Sarah Roemer). Together they begin to suspect that another neighbor is a serial killer. Are their suspicions merely the product of Kale s cabin fever and vivid imagination? Or have they unwittingly stumbled across a crime that could cost them their lives?System Requirements:Running Time: 104 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097361244044 Manufacturer No: 124404 Amazon.com: Alfred Hitchcock fans may experience déjà vu upon exposure to this voyeuristic thriller. That's because director DJ Caruso (The Salton Sea) and co-writer Carl Ellsworth (Red Eye) use Rear Window as a jumping-off point before cherry-picking from more recent scare fare, like The Blair Witch Project. In the prologue, 17-year-old Kale (Shia LaBeouf, Holes) loses his beloved father to a car crash. A year passes, and he's still on edge. When a teacher makes a careless remark about his dad, Kale punches him out, and is sentenced to house arrest. After his mom (Carrie-Anne Moss, Memento) takes away his Xbox and iTunes privileges, the suburban slacker spies on his neighbors to pass the time. In the process, he develops a crush on Ashley (Sarah Roemer, The Grudge 2), the hot girl next door, and becomes convinced that another, the soft-spoken Mr. Turner (David Morse, The Green Mile), is a serial killer. With the help of the flirtatious Ashley, practical joke-playing pal Ronnie (Aaron Yoo), and an array of high-tech gadgets, like cell-phone cameras and digital camcorders, Kale sets out to solve a major case without leaving his yard (a feat that would prove more challenging for a less affluent sleuth). In the end, it's pretty familiar stuff, but there are plenty of scares once Turner realizes he's being watched, and rising star LaBeouf, who next appears in Michael Bay's Transformers, makes for an engaging leading man--despite his character's propensity for slugging Spanish instructors. --Kathleen C.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Disturb in Suburbia"Disturbia", or should I say "Disturb in Suburbia", directed by D.J. Caruso and influenced by Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window", is a very tense thriller, that despite the fact it doesn't bring anything new to the genre, thanks to its misterious atmosphere and genuine comedy, it succeeds in every aspect. Under the tagline "Every killer lives next door to someone", we go to the movies on a Friday night, we pick a seat, start eating our popcorns and prepare ourselves to enjoy a horror/suspense ... Read More Rating:  - Not Great, But Fun for the Most PartAs a fan of suspense films, this little movie caught my eye when it was released in theaters April 13, 2007. Disturbia stars Shia LaBeouf as Kale, a teenager who is placed on house arrest after striking a teacher in school. His outlash was the latest on many that occured in the months following his father's death. After his mother disables his technology (iTunes subscription & X-Box Live), he turns to spying on his neighbors to pass the time. This voyeurism leads to his paranoid thinking that ... Read More Rating:  - Target Audience = 12 Year OldsThis film is the result of having 3 untalented and unappealing teenagers attempt to carry an interesting film project. I watched the film with a handful of friends and the collective opinion was that lead actor Shia LaBouef must be related to SOMEONE important involved with the film because there is no other reason to have cast him as the lead. Fine talent such as David Morse is absolutely wasted here and the characters of LaBeouf's Mother, law enforcement officials, and all other adults are contrived from ...

The plot is so predictable, the acting is ho hum, go through the motions, the direction does nothing to make things more intense and the bad guy couldn't scare a two year old. I've never seen the original but I can't see how it could be any worse than this. And would somebody please get Shia some pants that actually fit!!! Maybe I'm just getting old but the saggy, everyone can see my boxers is just SO OVER ...
