Disturbia

Suburbia = Disturbia This movie is almost a mix of Hitchcock's Rear Window and Tom Hank's The Burbs. Almost. It is funny at times, creepy at other times, and suspenseful every now and then.

Shia LaBeouf plays a teen under house arrest during a summer for slugging a school teacher. His boredom leads him to start paying attention to the behavior of neighbors, especially a cute teen girl next door played by Sarah Roemer.

David Morse plays the creepy neighbor and Carrie-Anne Moss plays the stressed-out Mom. Comic relief is ever-present with a best friend in the form of Aaron Yoo.

This is a fairly fast-paced story with a few good unexpected twists. The photography and music help make this story more fun to watch.

Watch this with people who fancy themselves the next Nancy Drew or Hardy Boy.
