Decent, but nothing new.

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2007)

While Disturbia holds a few thrills up it's sleeve, it is truly nothing we haven't seen before. For another entry into the ultra lame PG-13 horror kicks of the last few years, it comes out as one of the better films.
The movie is definitely more intelligent than such films as The Fog, The Covenant, or any other PG-13 kiddie horror as of late. The acting is actually quite good and the story doesn't treat it's audience like absolute idiots like many of the other film do.
It would be hard to recommend this as anything else but a rental, but it's worth checking out, if only to see that there is still some hope for the PG-13 trend.
As mentioned above, the acting is what makes the film stand out from it's brothers and sisters. Strong performances are given by the whole cast, which add a bit of freshness to the tired and tested substance of the plot.
I'd actually call this a a teen Rear Window of sorts. It goes through all of the same plot beats and ends up pretty much the same.
