Completely mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2008)

This film was utterly average. I had no wish to write a review for the IMDb or anywhere else, as forgettable things should not be dwelt upon, however, I was genuinely surprised to see that Disturbia seemed to be receiving excellent reviews on this site, so felt the balance should be redressed somewhat.
As stated I was puzzled at the glowing reviews - I can only assume that most were written by under eighteens, as anyone over that age should be groaning and squirming in their seats approximately every five minutes or so at how obvious and mundane this allows itself to get. Whether it's the clichéd love element, the goofy but lovable sidekick, the lashings of teen angst, the bad decisions of the characters, the familiar psycho, or, well, too many other aspects to mention, this is never anything other than by the numbers.
I suppose if your a teenager and like Buffy, Dawson's Creek, and Scream this might work great for you. For me at the grand old age of thirty four it was simply boring.
