Disturbia
I was surfing the internet for Hollywood's new female celebrities and the name Sarah Roemer popped up. I did a little research and found out she stars in the movie Disturbia. Being that she looks pretty and all, I decided to pop a copy of the movie in my player.
While watching the first few minutes of the film, I thought to myself that this is just a spin-off of Hitchcock's Rear Window. But as I continued to watch it, it was then I realized how wrong I was. Sure it does have some of the elements of Rear Window but Disturbia was something else - something better.
Unlike other suspense/thriller movies that leave the audience breathless for the whole duration of the movie, Disturbia was different. During supposedly "adrenaline rush scenes," Disturbia effortlessly injects the element of "funniness" without taking away the suspense factor.
Another factor that may have contributed to the film's success is the set of characters. Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), played as Kale who was in house arrest for 3 months because he gave his Spanish teacher a good straight punch to the face. Sarah Roemer play as the hot new neighbor of Kale who eventually became his love interest. Aaron Yoo is Kale's horny best friend. Carrie-Anne Moss (Trinity from the Matrix) is Kale's mother and last but not the least, David Morse who convincingly played as the movie's antagonist.
