Not to threadcrap but does anyone think that this movie title is one of the worst ever?

When my wife and I were watching a trailer for it on TV and they said the title, "Disturbia" and the end, we both just looked at each other, laughed out loud and both agreed it was a terribly stupid title. Were the writers just bored one day and wanted to name a movie from a really poor pun?

Is the area in the film that they live in REALLY called "Disturbia"?

In the trailer, Shia says "Only in Disturbia.."

Who the hell would move there?

"Oh honey, there's a great area to raise our family! Disturbia!"

It could be worse. It could be called Nilbog.

Coffee is the devil's drink in Nilbog!

I have to mention I think the name "Shia LeBeouf" is truly abysmal, and his parents should be ashamed for giving him that name. And he should be slapped for not changing it.

I'm sure he's ashamed all the way to the bank.

I saw a screening of Disturbia two weeks ago. It actually wasn't bad. Especially for a PG-13 horror flick. Towards the end it gets a little cheesy, but the story is pretty good, and it has pretty good build up, that kept me interested. It takes a while before it actually becomes a horror/slasher movie, though, and once it reaches that point, it starts to go downhill.

You know, shamelessly remaking everything is a fine trend to turn a quick buck. Plus, the title is a made up word. Plus, it's conceptually inane. Half the point of the setting of "Rear Window" was that living in an apartment building, all kinds of shit could be going on very close by and you would never know, and also that you can watch and be watched, overhear and be overheard through the walls, because of the proximity.

The whole point of suburban sprawl is space, which negates the whole premise. How many people can you actually spy on in the suburbs? Zero, unless you get your kicks watching guys mow their front lawns.

Or maybe you get your kicks licking truck stop toilets...

They should remake rear window. With zombies and cheerleaders.

Oh really? I will grant you that homes in the suburbs are not sharing walls like apartments do, but they're not exactly separated by vast distances either. Most suburban homes are separated by the width of a driveway.

I can hear my neighbor's teen son's stereo inside my house when he cranks it up. And just by going for a walk through my neighborhood every morning, I can list a surprising amount of facts about my neighbors. I know who's married and who's single, who has kids, who has pets and how many, who's wife and kids just left them, who's working and who's retired, who just got a big screen TV or computer (break down your boxes on trash day, people), and on and on. And that's all just from indifferent casual observation as I walk down the sidewalk. Imagine what I could learn if I really cared.

We give away a LOT more info about ourselves than we realize.

And full frontal female nudity.

If there was one thing Hitchcock lacked to put in his films, it was full frontal female nudity.

I had a good time with this film for the most part. Shia LeBeouf does okay carrying the film on his shoulders, and the film delivers some jolts here and here, and some confusion (the good kind), and disorientation that comes from the premise and setup of the film.

It's a good matinee film to see with an audience.

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.

Thought it was pretty bad. Shia and Moss gave the only good performances in the entire thing. The girl was terrible, the friend was so annoying I was praying for him to die, and Morse wasnt the least bit scary or intimidating.

that I'd see... ;)

I'd agree that Shia and Moss were the only thing going for this film. Morse's character's haircut was the only thing scary about him.

Very good. David Morse was great as always.

I saw this Friday night after I hopped over from seeing Blades of Glory again. That is the last time I make that mistake. A huge theater, absolutely packed with 13-17 year olds, that screamed every time the soundtrack made a loud noise, or Shia and the chick looked like they were going to touch. It was an entertaining movie, that probably needed 10-15 minutes trimmed from the build up. It was professionally acted and well made (I agree that Morse was mis-cast, but he did pretty well with it I thought) but it just didn't have much suspense or intrigue. Without giving anything away, it was pretty obvious the whole way through, including the ending. But after seeing how the pre-teen and teen crowd loved it, I'm not surprised it did so well. I mean, they came out in f'n packs for that thing. Most of the groups I saw had 6-10 kids in them.

I am swearing off any movie rated below an R in a theater because of this. The theater I went to seemed like I had interrupted a middle school assembly. And the six (6) teen girls, in front of me, that accompanied their "big" sister to the show decided to take a few laps in a pool full of some horrid perfume.

Was the movie horrible? No, but when Corky from Life Goes On would take notice of the plot holes and/or errors there is a problem.

I'll catch this on DVD/BD. Looks kinda interesting and David Morse is in it, so that's a plus.

Saw this today. It was pretty good. Probably a B. Suffers from the same thing that most of them suffer from. Take a bit too long to get rolling, not enough female nudity in the middle, the end had the usual crazy suspension of time. You keep thinking, what the hell are they doing all this time while he's looking for the bad guy?

Did Carrie Ann Moss hit the wall since Matrix or did they frump her out to make her look like a suburban mom?

I think it's pretty cool that young attractive women don't mind when boys with no friends stare at them all the time.

Went into this with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Not great, and I did have a free ticket, but good fun. I'll buy it on DVD when it hits $5 (or from CH, or if it has a bonus disc).

What a good little suspense movie. I was very surprised I liked it so much.

I was so into it amazingly. Jumped at all the right spots and rooted for Shia at the end out loud. I never do that.

This was so effective for a little movie. I can understand why it is doing so well.

First off, no adult in their right mind should go to a "teenager" movie on a non-schoolnight. Even last night I tried to see this and it was still sold out. Today I finally saw it with a crowd that was less rambunctious.

This is almost the definition of a solid movie. There are no major obvious flaws or distractions, and the movie never reaches for greatness. It's extremely enjoyable and extremely entertaining. It is far and away one of the best PG-13 suspense movies of its type I have ever seen. It's sort of the suspense version of 10 Things I Hate About You: smartly written, to an extent, does not make you groan constantly.

I wouldn't say run out and go see it but (as usual) I agree with Patman: you could do worse than see this in a matinee with an audience. Recommended.

I seen it last week, and I really liked it. the beginning was really intense. a solid movie, I liked the kids getting caught watching porn.
