Storyline

After his father is killed in a car accident, things unravel for Kale Brecht and he is placed under house-arrest for punching his Spanish teacher. Having nothing better to do, Kale occupies himself by spying on his neighbors. But one night, he witnesses what appears to be a murder going on in Mr. Turner's house. Kale becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind these murders but, after a few unsettling run-ins with Mr. Turner, it becomes a matter of life and death. And the ominous question: Who is watching whom? Written by O.G.

Shoulda...Coulda...But Didn't
19 April 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Disturbia...Oh the possibilities. But!, if you ask me this movie is a steaming pile of "hot" poo. The entire story is way to simple for anyone to take serious. The writers could have really made this movie into something great, but I guess that was their intentions. I guess thats why it's rated PG-13, but I don't any 13 year old that would be even remotely disturbed by this movie. Why would anyone call a movie that is rated PG-13 scary, if the movie does nothing of the sort. I feel completely retarded for even thinking this movie was going to be entertaining. But then again most movies of this nature end up getting us all the time. I wouldn't even recommend sneaking in to see it, the end result will leave you feeling angered for wasting your efforts to sneak in. Well ill just add this to the list of movies that shoulda...coulda...but didn't and try and remind myself that a PG-13 movie could never scary, and watch something else.
