I love this movie sooooooo much. It comes out on DVD today and I made my dad go get it for me. Shia LaBeouf is such a great actor. I have seen a lot of his movies. Transformers, Holes, Even Stevens, I, Robot, Disturbia. I liked Disturbia the best though. I like that it's not all scary. It's actually pretty funny right up until the end and then it gets really... uhhh... well... Disturbing. I will admit that at that point I chewed the plastic covers off the drawstrings of my sweatshirt. Anybody else seen it?

[COLOR=orange] Hey,this movie was totally awesome to in my book! It was so good,but that to me was because they had Shia in it. He is a great actor,and that's why I can't wait to see The Transformers. :jumpsmile:

I saw Transformers! It's great to. Shia is an awesome actor. He's pretty hot to. I love this movie. It's my kinda scary. I like it.
So yeah. Whatever.

I didn't get a chance to see this movie in theatres, but my friend got it on DVD and I saw it with them. It was GREAT! I loved it.

The plot was awesome...it was well paced and everything. I really enjoyed it. I knew that the neighbor was up to something, just didn't know what it was.

I know you could definately tell something was up with the neighbor,especially after he caught Shia looking at him and showed up the next day with his mom. I'm not into scary movies,but this was very suspenceful and good. Yea,Shia is very hot! When he was younger not so much,but now wwwwooooo he is. HEHE!

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and i have to admit its a great movie. I'm was not a huge shia fan but after watching this and transformers i can't wait to see him in the newest indiana jones movie. Now for me i especialy loved the part where the neighbor was talking to the bunny and it seemed as if he was talking to shia instead

I hate to be the voice of dissent, but Distubia was the most blatant rip-off of Hitchcock's Rear Window I have ever seen. In the interest of fair judgement, I must confess to harboring some bitterness towards Rear Window, as well. (Hitchcock only paid Cornell Woolrich $600 for the movie rights to a collection of short stories--one of which, "It Had to be Murder", was the basis for the movie--and then didn't even invite Woolrich to the premier, which was in New York where Woolrich lived.)

The only even remotely distubing scene in Distubia was the one in the car between David Morse and whoever played the next-door-neighbor/love interest. The 'disturbing' stuff at the end? Corn syrup, water and food coloring. Movie makers today, for the most part, have long forgot how to terrify, so instead they go for the gross-out. Even the current batch of 'psychological' horror--as represented by the most prominent of these writer/directors, M. Night ShamalaYAWN, depends on real or imagined boogeymen hiding behind every possible corner, twist endings (which break what used to be the first cardinal rule of screenwriting), and shameless--or shamefull--use of scoring (that would be music) to elicit a response which the plot itself cannot acheive and doesn't really deserve. (Don't believe me? Watch Cloverfield. Though everyone I've talked to about this film either abso-lute-ly loved or despised it, I've yet to find someone who can tell me how they feel about it or why. And the simple reason for this is the film had no score.)

If you want to see a truly disturbing film, try Fallen, The Deerslayer, In The Mouth of Madness, or The Omen (the original, not that abysmal remake). There are still good horror--or at least creepy--movies being made today (Sin City, Children of Men, The Lookout, and Brave One come immediately to mind), and even the bad ones have some good acting (LeBoeff and Morse in Disturbia; Will Smith in I Am Legend), but movies--and not just those in the horror category--today are still stuck in the trap they fell into in the mid to late eighties when special effects started taking the place of good writing. The advent of realistic CG imagery may make this pit impossible to climb out of. But enough ranting; I'm way off topic and need to write an angry letter to George Lucas. :P

Oh I have to disagree about how it ripped off Rear Window. They're are similarities, given the fact that the guy who scripted Rear Window was the co-writer for Disturbia but Disturbia has a lot more to offer I think.

From the very beginning, the fact that Kale was on house arrest after punching his Spanish teacher intrigued me. And rather than get down to the business of being a thriller right off the bat, a lot of the movie is them showing us the glamor of being a teenager. . . hanging out with his funny Asian friend and thinking of ways to ogle and hit on Ashley, the super-hot new girl next door. That sense of "normancy" was pretty interesting, IMO.

I really like how eclectic the killer's methods were. At the same time it's...well, disturbing. In his nicely maintained home, he has separate storage spaces for victims in various stages of decomposition, some that seem grimy like a sewer and some that are OCD sterile and floor-lickingly clean. It's like he has many moods of murder and a different room for each type of killing project he's working on. Weird. But I liked the movie anyways.
