Disturbia
Director: D.J. Caruso
Actors: Shia LaBeouf, David Morse, Carrie-Anne Moss
PlotAfter his father's tragic death, a teenager is placed under house arrest for assaulting a teacher, leaving him confined to his home with little to do. Struggling to deal with his feelings of isolation and grief, he begins to spy on his neighbors as a form of entertainment, using binoculars and other surveillance methods. His mother tries to support him through this difficult period, but he finds more solace in his voyeuristic activities. As he observes the daily lives of those around him, he becomes particularly interested in two neighbors: a woman he begins to develop a crush on and a man whose behavior strikes him as peculiar.
The teenager's curiosity turns to suspicion as he watches the mysterious man's odd comings and goings at all hours of the night. With the help of his friends, he starts to gather evidence, convinced that his neighbor is hiding a dark secret. As he becomes more involved in watching the man, his suspicions begin to escalate, leading him to believe that he may have stumbled upon a dangerous truth. Determined to uncover what his neighbor is hiding, he sets out on a risky investigation that pushes the boundaries of his house arrest. His pursuit of the truth becomes a suspenseful and perilous journey, making him question whether he has gotten in too deep or if his suspicions are indeed founded.
