Sheer 'Rear'
By Jeffrey M. Anderson In a modern reworking of Rear Window, troubled teenager Kale (Shia LaBeouf) blames himself for his father's death; his behavior lands him under house arrest for the summer. Bored, he takes to looking out the windows. He meets cute new neighbor Ashley (Sarah Roemer) and begins to suspect foul play at the home of Mr. Turner (a silky, sinister David Morse). Though Hitchcock brilliantly used only one viewpoint, Disturbia expands to include all four sides of the house, plus modern technology. Director D.J. Caruso (Taking Lives) patiently builds suspense, but when the killer shows his hand, the film deteriorates into a typical slasher, complete with jerky angles, blurry footage and ridiculous, near-supernatural chases. With Carrie-Anne Moss and Aaron Yoo as a comical Asian sidekick.
