Rear window revisited

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2016)

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.
