Pros: Good acting, script and directing
Cons: End a little weak
Summary: I'm glad to report that "Disturia", although advertised as "one of the most frightening movies in years" is not full of the gore of such movies as "Saw" and "The Hills Have Eyes." Instead, the tension and fright in this film is more in the nature of a ... read more

Pros: Exciting second half, Shia Labeouf, Aaron Yoo, David Morse
Cons: Painfully boring "introductory" hour, dull ending
Summary: By now, all of you probably know that I am a huge fan of horrors and thrillers. Disturbia is basically a remake of Hitchcock's Rear Window. The result? A rather genre-confused flick that works in some aspects, and completely ... read more

Pros: Great cast, good suspense building
Cons: Rear Window, anyone?
Summary: Disturbia is a very well-made movie about a young man on house arrest who discovers that one of his neighbors might be a serial killer. It stars Shia LeBeouf in what will probably be remembered as his breakout role, and was directed by D.J. ... read more

Pros: Great movie, wonderful cast and acting, suspenseful plot...
Cons: None (read review)
Summary: It may be telling of my age when I admit that I've never seen the classic Hitchcock film, Rear Window (though, to my credit, my friends and I did try to rent it last night, but most movie rental places are closed at one in the morning). ... read more

Pros: Good character and story development with some thrills thrown in at the end.
Cons: Some cliches and simliarities to "Rear Window"
Summary: The producers of this film don’t credit the screenplay of “Disturbia” to Hitchcock’s “Rear Window,” claiming that its original. But there are so many similarities to “Rear Window” one cannot be convinced its original. In ... read more

Pros: Fun, Suspenseful thriller. Great acting and a gripping plot.
Cons: Slow climax. Ended slightly weak.
Summary: I am a huge fan of scary and intense movies, but last night I hit my limit for the month. My boy friend took me to this awesome movie, Disturbia. Scary movie lovers look out; this movie is a seat gripper, hand crusher, (for those who have someones ... read more

Pros: The actors and characters, the storyline, the action
Cons: The ending had me a bit disappointed
Summary: After seeing the previews for the movie Disturbia, I thought it would be another one of those wannabe thrillers that don't do much to thrill or entertain. However, my impression of the movie was wrong because it actually was quite a good thriller and was ... read more

Apr 22 '07
Pros: slick, cleverly updated, with strong performances
Cons: derivative
Summary: Disturbia is a thriller about a high-school student who suspects his next-door neighbor is a killer. It's not the first time we've been down this road. The "suspicious neighbor" plot has been with us, at least since Rear Window and as recently as The ... read more

Apr 22 '07
Pros: Great acting; suspenseful thriller
Cons: Maybe too predictable of an outcome
Summary: Chalk this movie field trip as an experience. My wife and I decided that it was time to grace the theatres for 2007 and, to our surprise, there wasn’t anything we really wanted to see. Let me put it this way. There wasn’t a movie we wanted to ... read more

Pros: The cast, script and twists and turns!
Cons: Can't think of any!
Summary: Saw the film this past weekend and definitely screamed out loud a few times. I'm not sure if this is because someone in the house got the screaming started, or if a lot of the film had suspenseful parts. It was definitely a suspense film, with quite a ... read more

Apr 17 '07
Pros: The acting was great and background music was ok.
Cons: The ending could have ended with more of a bang! To long till the climax
Summary: It was a good movie that did not over kill the whole horror genre. It did not overdue the gore that was not necessary and it still made you jump. The scenes where you did "jump" were when there was nothing to worry about, but a second later there was the ... read more

Apr 15 '07
Pros: Interesting premise inspired by Rear Window.
Cons: Terrible decision to turn third act into a slasher movie. Logical inconsistencies. Excessive fake scares.
Summary: There's a really nice shot early on in Disturbia that provides a glimmer of hope that director DJ Caruso might have a clue. After a harrowing car accident scene, one character escapes from the burning vehicle and rushes to the other side to check ... read more

Pros: fun suspenseful psychological thriller
