Shia LaBeouf (CONSTANTINE, I, ROBOT) is a young talent to be reckoned
with, as he demonstrates in this genre-spanning film from director D.J.
Caruso. Part teenage romantic comedy, part horror flick, DISTURBIA stars
LaBeouf as the troubled Kale, who is confined to his home under house
arrest after he punches out his Spanish teacher in the middle of class.
Kale's array of available diversions dwindle considerably after his mom
(Carrie Ann Moss, MEMENTO) shuts off his X-Box and his i-Tunes, and he
turns to voyeurism instead, carefully noting the daily activities of his
neighbors. These include the swimming schedule of the hot girl who just
moved in next door, Ashley (Sarah Roemer, THE GRUDGE 2), whom he ogles
with his best friend, the class clown, Ronnie (Aaron Yoo, THE BEDFORD
DIARIES). When Ashley unexpectedly shows up and wants to know what the
boys are doing behind their binoculars, they concoct a story about their
neighbor, Mr. Turner (David Morse, PROOF OF LIFE), and their suspicions
that he is the serial killer currently on the loose. The teens'
subsequent stakeout makes them increasingly convinced that this is in
fact the case, and their creepy interactions with Turner bring them ever
closer to learning the dark secret that lies inside his impenetrable
suburban existence. Despite a slight identity crisis and distracting
product placements, DISTURBIA is carried by the strong performance of
its lead character, and manages to charm with its portrayal of young
love.
