First, in case you didn't know, I hold a grudge against 'Teen Movies'. I don't find them funny but often crude instead. Disturbia is a good idea. A good idea stolen (Rear Window) but a good idea nonetheless. Albeit slow, Disturbia has a promising start. Which, without spoon-feeding you the script, leads to Shia LaBoeuf being put under 'House Arrest'. What I came to realise rather quickly was that Disturbia is a blood and guts horror without the blood and guts. Which makes very little sense at all. Disturbia was the type of films that seems like a high budget B-Movie that's yet to be finished with some CGI blood. After the story unfolds a little more our good friend Shia begins to suspect his neighbour of murder. After getting on the wrong side of a police officer as well as his family, as they have to pay for his incarceration, nobody believes him. Except for his best friend, the person who'd usually play the 'Pot'-smoker and his love interest. At this point, I changed my mind. I thought I had worked it out, it was a teen movie. One without a group of horny 17-year-old nerds that continuously try to get people naked and in the end succeed. Of course it isn't quite that, but unfortunately once you've got the title of teen movie, it doesn't leave. After this annoying slump in interest it began to liven up, howvere it wasm't until there were only 20 minutes left. The plot continues to unwind, or so it would seem, but it had already been exhausted at that point. If you've seen the trailer, the next 2 minutes are that. Yep, that's it. Anyway, after a few jumps, punches and splashes Shia ends up in his neighbours house and discoveres some terrifying secrets. Well, the end is a horror, a strange type of horror that doesn't really work but it did take me the whole film to realise that this is just another inept teen horror. Disturbia is one of those films that's too predictable to enjoy, even if you do like teen horrors. There are no suprises, you can tell exactly what will happen before it does. For example, if you ever see it, when he closes the fridge door. What a boring and predictable event. Anyway, forgetting all of the 'teen-ness', for lack of a better word, the bad scripting, acting and plot holes Disturbia is a mildly enjoyable popcorn movie. 50% |
