Disturbia
Every killer lives next door to someone.
Directed by D.J. Caruso
Produced by The Montecito Picture Company, DreamWorks Pictures
A tense thriller that weaponizes paranoia and voyeurism, trapping a confined teenager in escalating suspicion about his neighbor while navigating teenage attraction and the anxiety of house arrest.
Kale has a life most teenagers would envy. He spends his days endlessly playing video games, surfing the net, eating junk food and watching cable. He has complete free reign of the house, and a beautiful young hottie named Ashley has just moved in next door. There’s only one problem—he’s not allowed to leave the house. Kale’s under court-ordered house arrest for three months, and if he takes one step beyond a 100-foot perimeter of the house, his next confinement will be in a real prison.
