Disturbia

I finally saw Disturbia last night, after it was sold out the first time I went. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I was expecting one of the typical PG-13 thrillers that seem to come in bulk anymore. I actually see how Disturbia managed to rule the box office for the past two weekends.



Kale (Shia LaBeouf) gets put on house arrest for the summer after knocking out his Spanish teacher. After a few days inside the house, he gets really bored and starts spying on the neighbors, including the ones who just moved in next door. And they just happen to have an exhibitionist teenage daughter, Ashley (Sarah Roemer). I was not particularly fond of Ashley. I failed to see her appeal. She shrived on the attention she got from Kale and his friend Ronnie, which she demonstrates by changing clothes in her room with all the windows open and swimming regularly. Besides the fact that she had a great body that she liked to show off, I didn't think she was that attractive, but to each their own I guess.



Disturbia was insanely suspenseful towards the end when one of the neighbors turns out to be a serial killer. I would recommend not watching this on a weekend because you'll have to listen to 13-year-old girls scream every five seconds. We watched it on a Monday night and we had no disruptions. Definitely one of the better thrillers to come out lately.
