Hitchcock would turn in his grave.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2007
Take along a good book - possibly Ted Lewis's The Serpent - and read it by the light of the effulgent clichés.

Disturbia's limits are those of its hero - an amiable, faintly clueless young man with a brief attention span.
| Sep 14, 2007
Despite the interesting set-up, the action degenerates into obvious implausibility and silliness - fatal for a suspense thriller - and boredom sets in.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2007
Not quite Rear Window, but can certainly hold its own with The 'Burbs.

Entertaining Hitchcock-lite for a generation that would rather dial P for pizza than M for murder.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2007
Take an Alfred Hitchcock classic, remix it for generation youtube and you've got Disturbia, a smart and involving thriller about the perils of voyeurism.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 11, 2007
You'll jump as if you've had electrodes attached to your sensitive parts; but when your nerve endings stop tingling, your brain won't remember a thing.
| Original Score: 3/6 | Jun 23, 2007
This is a cool little thriller with some big scares and fine performances.

It eventually evolves into a credible thriller, one pointedly rather than coincidentally embedded in the trivia of its time.

Disturbia stands above most of its genre neighbors by realizing that it's the minutes that come before the last-minute twist that really count.
Full Review | Apr 13, 2007
Offsetting the chilly voyeurism is a viable teen romance and an appealing sense of humor. Though there are occasional lapses in logic, Disturbia is consistently suspenseful and entertainingly disturbing.

While Disturbia does nothing to advance or honour Hitchcock, the movie succeeds on its modest terms.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 13, 2007
For the most part a taut, careful thriller that emphasizes suspense over blood and gore.

Caruso, a very visual director, serves up some surprises and scares, and he's paced his movie briskly. You're out of this disturbing suburbia before you know it, shaken and even stirred.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 13, 2007
Director D.J. Caruso relies entirely too much on clichéd shock cuts and keeps pulling back every time the flick seems to be settling into anything close to a creepy mood.

What Disturbia lacks in complexity, it makes up for in witty jokes, sneaky jolts and a timeless lesson: If you've got windows, someone's always watching.
