Disturbia (2007)

Lets look at one not-so-scary film now for all you movie lovers who like a little bit of scare and a whole load of laughs. One of which is 'Disturbia'.

Gore Factor: 2/10
Humour Level: High
Suspense Level: Medium
Rated: 15
Cast: Shia LaBeof

This movie is perfect for anyone who isnt too keen on hard core horror movies as it eases you in gently to scary movies. I can confirm that my 14 year old cousin who refuses to watch any horror movie managed to watch this film all the way to the end and said it was one of the best she had seen!

A troubled teen, Kale (Shia LaBeof), is put under house arrest and through his boredom develops two obsessions: The girl next door and the thought that his other neighbour is a serial killer. After bonding with the girl, the two work together to take him down.

At the beginning of this movie there is a shocking event to capture your atention but the main bulk of the movie is fairly light hearted and funny as he tries to win over the heart of the new girl next door. Occasionally there are a few jumps and spooks here and there but nothing too intense. However in the last twenty mins the suspense is kept high as the truth is revealed. By the time you reach this part, you will be hooked and it will be impossible to look away. The gore level is kept to a minimum and so is perfectly suitable for the squeemish, therefore this film is enjoyable for everyone who loves scary movies!
