Plot Summary: After his father's death, Kale
(Shia LaBeouf) becomes sullen, withdrawn, and troubled - so much so that he
finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother, Julie
(Carrie-Anne Moss), works night and day to support herself and her son, only to
be met with indifference and lethargy.
The walls of his house begin to close in on Kale. He becomes a voyeur as his
interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his
neighbors, one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. But, are his
suspicions merely the product of cabin fever and his overactive imagination?

neighbor who just might be chopping up the ladies he brings home to play...more

what you think they'll do precisely when you think they'll
do it....more
Rear
Window meets the iTunes era in fun, slick suspense pic John Defore: Hollywood Reporter
A bored teen finds that his rear window isn't the only
source for voyeuristic kicks in "Disturbia," which draws
heavily on the Hitchcock classic while updating it for the
21st century. Better and more likable than today's average
thriller, it should do well with suspense-hungry viewers if
marketing can get past a title...more
