Surprise! this film is actually GOOD.

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2015)

With in the first few minutes... Any movie buff will recognize Disturbia as a rip-off of Rear Window, directed by the Master A. Hitchcock. This is usually a sign the rest of the film will suck. But wait don't leave, I promise it's good. It's geared towards the under 22 crowd, but I'm 50 and I enjoy it even upon 3rd viewing. Here's why good direction that builds suspense. Plus good use of low lighting and darkness. Also the characters are likable and believable. Shia's love interest is well played. And Shia's acting is good, he is our flawed hero. The old plot is updated thru the use of technology and darker horror. Once this movie starts it moves like a runaway train with a psychotic on board!
