OFFICIAL WEBSITE: Disturbia

Enter hot new neighbour Ashley (Sarah Roemer).  Whilst using his late father's binoculars Kale drools over Ashley on a regular basis as she swims in her pool conveniently situated right under his bedroom window.  And eventually aided and abetted by his best friend Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) together they view the wonderful and quirky world of Suburbia through Kale's window.  However, Mr Turner (David Morse) the adjacent neighbour who continually mows his lawn begins to intrigue them and with Ashley now on board the threesome begin to track Mr Turner's bizarre nocturnal movements, and strange habits.

Comparisons have to be drawn to Hitchcock's Rear Window but Disturbia is certainly not in that league, that said, Morse steals the show and is utterly brilliant as the menacing and mysterious Mr Turner, and the final half an hour is real nail biting stuff, however my main criticism is that the pre-amble is a tad too long and by the time it warms up you are literally chomping at the bit to see something actually happen.  Though when Disturbia does step up the pace it certainly has its moments, and it will, I'm sure, appeal to a wide audience.

Morse's performance alone is worth the price of the ticket, and though only on the screen for short bursts steals every scene.

In a word: Gripping.
