Disturbia

I can tell you right now, that if you are looking to get scared, Disturbia is the movie for you. It is the first movie that has made me scream out loud since The Ring. While I only screamed once, the rest of the girls in the theater were screaming throughout the movie...again, something I haven't seen since the scene in The Ring where Samara freaks us all out by climbing out of the television. Still gives me goosebumps!
Often when I go to see thrillers, the strong point is the shock value and gore, and the weak point is the acting. However, in Disturbia, the acting was fantastic. Shia LaBeouf proves to be a promising newcomer, Aaorn Yoo makes a great addition as the comic relief, and David Morse is creepy as hell as the serial killer next door.
Disturbia has a fast moving plot which keeps your eyes glued to the screen, and at the same time makes you want to close or cover them, or maybe hold hands with the person next to you. Worried that it would be a rip off of Rear Window, the film has quite a different style and tone to it...this isn't a bad thing. Of course nothing can really rival Hitchcock's Rear Window, but that doesn't discredit Disturbia, which proves to be an awesome thriller and one of the better films to come out this year.
