movie blurb...disturbia

from Christian Spotlight, overall good review: “Disturbia” is a new spin on Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film Rear Window...In this adaptation, a young man named Kale is sentenced to three months of house arrest as punishment for physically assaulting his Spanish teacher who publicly humiliated him, even going as far as bringing up Kale’s recently deceased dad. In the time following his arrest, Kale begins to watch his many neighbors as a pastime to combat his constant boredom. After all, his mom has become a bit strict, cutting off his iTunes account, his TV, and his Xbox live connection.

In closing, “Disturbia” was an enjoyable film. The pacing was relaxed, a nice change from many recent movies that feel overly rushed in an attempt to keep the audience’s attention. It’s nice to see a movie that still remembers how to tell a story. The script was also well-written for the most part, avoiding too many boring cliches. No qualms could be made with either the directing or cinematography of the film either, as both were extremely well done for a teen-oriented film."
