I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is Rear Window for teens. They watered down the plot, added some action, a new soundtrack and some sexual references and came up with something that is entertaining, but not amazing.

Disturbia is the story of Kale who is on house arrest and finds out his neighbor may or may not be a serial killer. I like the psychological element it plays on if the lead is going crazy and imagining the madness going on around him or is it really happening? One of the most effect shots is when he witnesses his neighbor hack a young girl up and hides her body in the garage, but when he looks it only trash.What drew me in was the suspense as Kale involves his best friend and a new girl in the witch hunt. As they sneak around the house or follow the killer on the street you always wonder if one of them will be caught or be his next intended victim.David Morse really impressed me with his stone dead gazes, sinister sneer and the persona of a criminal master mind who's always two steps ahead.The plot was flawless to a t with many twists and turns that keep you guessing till the end. It was grounded in reality, never dragged and was loads of fun.What makes a thriller work is the soundtrack that was moody and became an entity unto itself.This is one remake that I thoughtfully enjoyed.

As a fan of Thriller and horror movies, I can say that this is one very good thriller. The story is simple, one teen trying to catch the serial killer across his street. Brilliant! Actors are amazing, specially Kale's actor. Why did I rate 9? Because I didn't like the ending. The killer dies too fast. It needed more battle. Kale only stabbed him which is not original. But, all in all the movie was great! I totally recommend this movie anyone who likes thrillers. I would like to say one more thing about the director. He has done an amazing job. I watched some other movies he has directed, also very good movies. Also, I watched "Rear Window", which is 1954 movie, and I can say, Disturbia is way more better.

I wouldn't classify this as a horror movie, more of a modernized Hitchcock film. The suspense and tension slowly build, and Shia LaBeouf is perfectly cast. I can't imagine anyone else but him in the role of Kale. It's a shame that LaBeouf's career appears to have stopped for the time being, because I really like him in this movie, his performance is very close to what I imagine a teenager put in this situation would be like. It manages to be creepy, but in a PG-13 environment, which is certainly unheard of nowadays. It may have a few jump-scares, and David Morse is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to your face, but I like the concept and the execution. But seriously, could Morse be anymore obvious? Like, I know in the beginning it's supposed to be circumstantial evidence against him, but his mannerisms and creepy behavior is so out there, that it's painfully obvious he's the killer. The jump-scares and obvious antagonist aside though, the film is very well executed. It's short, sweet, entertaining, and an interesting concept.
