Cons: bad dialogue, too many plot holes, drama doesn't exist here, becomes too cheesy

Pros: Direction by David Nutter maintains a creepy tone; strong performances by Nick Stahl and the adults in the cast
Cons: Most of the teen cast is bland (including the leads); a victim of heavy post-production editing

With Kevin Williamson's "Scream" (1997), the near-defunct 1980's teen horror genre found itself suddenly reinvented for the 90's. As always happens when a film seemingly comes out of nowhere to become a big box-office hit, a slew of spinoffs,...

Pros: Katie Holmes - say no more
Cons: Waaaaaaay too predictable

I do you know, and when I saw that Miss Holmes was in Disturbing Behavior late last night on telly, well that was my plans of an early night gone wasn’t it?, but did I like it?, well what do you think hmmmmmmm? I have a crush on one of the lead stars for...

Pros: Katie Holmes in an endless series of belly shirts
Cons: Bad acting, rotten writing, no suspense

Oh boy, Butthead, here we go... First there was the resurgence of the teen-horror genre, then the resurgence of the teen-movie genre in general. Disturbing Behavior came at the beginning of the second movement, an 80-minute muddle that appropriates the...

Pros: None
Cons: So silly I had to laugh

Once again I let my “love” for Katie Holmes decide what movie I was going to rent, so I rented “Disturbing Behavior”. I read the back of the box, and I thought it looked exciting… But as always… the cover lies.
This movie was nothing like I had...

Pros: Well photographed
Cons: Lunkheaded execution

Disturbing Behavior is the kind of movie we should put in a time capsule—it so keenly portrays the attitudes of disaffected youth circa 1998. For the disturbing behavior in question is...a concern for grades, health, and future! The "Blue...

Pros: the jocks are the bad guys!!!
Cons: there probably won't be a sequel

Here's the first thing you need to know about this film: IT IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE! I don't know exactly what to classify it as- a suspenseful teen drama sort of works.
Here's the second thing you need to know about this film: it is extremely...

Pros: Good
Cons: Short

Changing channels, looking for something to watch, and did we come across, but this movie, Disturbing Behavior.
It's a pretty good movie. I hadn't heard a lot about it before I watched. But I was able to set through the whole movie. Which is a...

Pros: The Cast, The Creepy Mood
Cons: the Cheap Ending

Disturbing Behavior was a movie that was blasted by many critics and thus not given a chance by many people, but if you give it a chance, I'll bet you enjoy it.

Disturbing Behavior was a great movie because of the creepy mood of the whole...

Pros: YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF IT
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

WHY OH WHY was I convinced to even bother watching this flick? IT WAS MY FRIENDS FAULT! She wanted to see the movie saying "It might be good"...I knew she was going to be wrong, but I watched it anyway (so I can at least make fun of it)
