Disturbia DVDRip

Disturbia is one of the best PG13 thrillers that I've seen in a long time.

After all the other rated PG13 thrillers that have come out in the past six years or

so, DJ Caruso, who directed, proves that it has always been possible to make a good suspenseful thriller these days without all the gore.



Shia Labeouf plays Kale Brecht. After witnessing the death of his father in a car

accident, he becomes sullen and withdrawn. This leads to him being put under house

arrest after he punches out an unsympathetic teacher. Imprisoned in his own house,

and unable to go beyond 100 yards, he finds himself turning into a peeping tom and

spying on all the neighbors. One of them is the attractive new girl in town named

Ashley (Sarah Roemer) and another may be a killer named Mr. Turner (David Morse).

With the help of the new girl Ashley, his friend Ronnie (a great comedic turn by A

aron Yoo), Kale goes about investigating Mr. Turner to see if he is the killer or not.

The three teenagers use cell phones and the internet as well as video cameras in

the investigation, and DJ Caruso shows some of his sly wit by using these same devices

in the film to not only investigate the spooky neighbor, but also to create some humor

to go along with everything else.



The plot is a familiar one. That would be because the great Alfred Hitchcock used it

first with his famous suspense thriller Rear Window. Yes Disturbia is a blatant

rip-off of that movie, but it is done with skill, and the acting by all,

including Carrie Anne Moss as Kale's mother, was very good.

All the characters are likable, and David Morse's turn as the creepy Mr.

Turner was well done as well.



Disturbia may not be a great movie, but it is definitely one of the best

PG13 thrillers in years. It outshines such horror thrillers as Cursed and Pulse,

as well as the recent horror thriller The Messengers. Disturbia also once again proves

that you don't need a bunch of gore to make an effective horror thriller. Horror directors

take note.
