Exceeded my expectations

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2008)

Rated PG-13 for sequences of terror and violence, and some sensuality.
Disturbia is a teen thriller which is almost a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window".I never saw that film.I expected Disturbia to be an average teen-thriller film but it is actually fairly well done and entertaining.It definitely exceeded my expectations.The film is about a teen who survived a car crash which his father was killed in.After his Spanish teacher makes a comment about it, he punches him in the face and is put on house arrest.Being bored out of his mind he starts spying on his neighbors including the new girl who just moved in.She is the love interest in the film.One day, they see their neighbor murdering a woman and they try to stop him.Disturbia is a very entertaining film and is much better than most teen-thrillers.
