Movie is both funny and frightening
Shifting in their seats and clinging to their neighbors, the audience was tense and at the edge of their seats throughout this suspenseful thriller.
“My girlfriend and I thought it was really scary,” said Mike Roosa, a freshman economics major.
Based off the previews, “Disturbia” looked like any other horror-filled serial killer flick with creepers stalking unsuspecting girls with kitchen knifes in the night. However, the movie was not only a suspenseful thriller but a comical love story wrapped into one.
“There were some really funny parts. I think everyone was laughing pretty hard when the guys get caught spying on Ashley in her swimsuit,” said Marcus Burton, a sophomore pre-communication major.
Because the main character, Kale (Shia LeBeouf), is troubled from his father’s death, he has a few outbursts. Punching his Spanish teacher in the face is the straw that gets him put under house arrest.
Kale is confined to his house, but luckily the girl of his dreams moves in next door. Ashley (Sarah Roemer) and Kale’s friend Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) come to visit and discover there might be a serial killer living next door.
The suspected killer, Robert Turner (David Morse), is unbelievably frightening with a knack for popping up unexpectedly.
Without being able to leave his house, Kale relies on Ashley, Ronnie and video surveillance to investigate the murdering neighbor who has suddenly taken an interest in Kale’s mom.
“It was really creepy and much better than the preview made me think it would be,” said Denyse Nizam, a senior biological sciences/MCD major.
“Disturbia” gets a thumbs up and five stars. Don’t miss this disturbingly good movie.
