A blend of many genres–horror, comedy, drama and thriller–“Disturbia” is a must-see for people of all ages. Based on the Alfred Hitchcock movie “Rear Window,” “Disturbia” lives up to and surpasses its older version. The movie begins with a car wreck in which Kale Brecht’s (Shia LaBeouf) father is killed. As a result, Kale becomes distraught and unmotivated in his schoolwork when his Spanish teacher asks him, “What would your father do if he could see you now?” Kale then punches the teacher in the face. As a result, Kale is charged with assault and placed on house arrest for three months. Despite the ankle bracelet, Kale is still a stereotypical teenager who plays Xbox Live, listens to his iPod, and enjoys his friends’ company when they visit him. Kale sits and observes his neighbors, studying their habits. However, one neighbor, Robert Turner, seems quite different. After a murder occurs in his hometown, Kale notes that the car in Turner’s garage matches the victim’s missing car. The situation takes a sharp turn when Kale’s mom begins dating the mysterious Robert Turner. Aroused by suspicion and motivated by love for his family, Kale, with the help of his friends, tries to uncover the mystery of Turner. LaBeouf does a tremendous job in the role of a troubled teenager. LaBeouf, often associated with in the Disney television series “Even Stevens,” portrays a more serious and down-to-earth teenager. Trinity senior/movie guru Spike Koehler said, “It was a new role for Shia LaBeouf, and I think he did a good job filling the part.” With several unexpected twists and turns, “Disturbia” certainly leaves its audience happy. Senior Will Young agrees: “There were some neat, suspenseful parts which made the movie pretty good.” I urge anyone who wants to see a good movie to spend $4 and rent “Disturbia” from your local video store.
