Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
The most disturbious part of Disturbia is how engaging this teenage thriller manages to be, even though it's a shameless rip-off of "Rear Window."

Village VoiceRobert Wilonsky
There's not one single bombshell dropped in Disturbia; everyone is exactly who you think they are and does exactly what you think they'll do precisely when you think they'll do it. Read full review

Washington PostJohn Maynard
LaBeouf is appealing as the frustrated shut-in, and comic-relief cred goes to Aaron Yoo, who plays his neurotic buddy Ronnie. The ending, though, drags, and the film quickly shifts from a clever homage to "Rear Window" to a bad parody of "The Silence of the Lambs." Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick
There are a few decent jolts in Disturbia, but overall this ultra-predictable thriller doesn't live up to the hype. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
If you're happy to watch a thriller about a tenth as good as Alfred Hitchcock's, director D.J. Caruso and screenwriters Christopher B. Landon and Carl Ellsworth hold up their end of the deal, at least until the proceedings devolve into standard horror-movie effects and minimal motivations. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
"Rear Window" never comes up in the Disturbia press notes, which is probably just as well since it steals that movie's premise but none of Alfred Hitchcock's wit, finesse, or seduction. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
Up-and-comer LaBeouf (Holes) is a young actor to watch, but he's had better opportunities than this teen thriller to show what he's capable of. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
For all its glitz and gadgets, is markedly inferior in everything but teen appeal. Read full review

What the new movie lacks in craft, suspense and metaphoric richness it makes up for with, um, gadgets. Read full review
