Director: D.J Caruso
Year: 2007
Stars: Shia LeBeouf, Aaron Yoo, Sarah Roemer, Carrie-Anne Moss, David Morse
This movie was basically exactly what I was expecting. Not in a bad way - it was perfectly enjoyable, and very watchable, but had no major surprises.
The film follows Kale (LeBeouf) as he ends up on house arrest for 3 months. Something of a homage to Hitchcock's Rear Window, Kale ends up spying on his neighbours. As he does so, he gets more and suspicious of a man who has moved in next door.
Nothing is ever going to compare to a Hitchcock movie. Admittedly, Rear Window isn't my favourite Hitchcock movie, but he still has a style that is incomparable. Thankfully, Disturbia doesn't really try. Towards the end of the movie it is walking a line between thriller and horror, but this suits the plot quite nicely. Not a movie that will have you talking about it for days afterwards, but certainly one that's easy to enjoy.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
