Summary: Great Teen Thriller!
Review: James Marsden is the new kid in a town called Cradle Bay which is not what it seems...He begins to suspect something weird and strange is going on between the Cradle Bay Teens.There are no drunk drivers,everyone is a straight A student.They are all into bake sales[aaahhhhhh! ],hanging out at yougurt shopees[aaahhhh!] and listening to Olivia Newton John[AAAAAAAAAHHHHH! ].He and a gang of outsiders come together to stop all the madness! That is before his parents put him down for treatment....After directing all those X Files episodes some of the scary magic should rub off onto this movie and it certainly does.James Marsden is a stand out performance in this movie,thin story line but hey it is a teen [sort of] movie.Great DVD extras including theatrical trailer,several deleted scenes,an alternate ending,directors commentary and a music video.Way cool movie too. 4 out of 5

Summary: JAMES MARSDEN POOR ACTING
Review: This is a movie that could have made it, boxoffice was very very low. James marsden doesn't come across,and pulls the entire production down. MGM could have cast certainly a better proven actor in the part played by james marsden.

Summary: Not a masterpiece,but can be watched once
Review: Well...reminded me of 'The Faculty' a bit..The same mind-controlled student stuff.But not just a copy.It's half an original movie..A cool movie,but that's all.Good to be watched once in a horror-party at night,but then it'll take its place in the shelves just like the other ones that u never watched again..To be honest,it's great for a Katie Holmes fan,but that's all..Plus,it's really too short (81 mins or something like that).

Summary: DVD HEAVEN!
Review: One of the most important DVD's released, for the fact that it changed the movie completely! I knew that Disturbing was good...yet missing something...and this DVD delivers more than any others I own. Talk about a butcher (read Jeff's review)! How the hell a studio can do this to a movie is frightening! Talk about cutting any real character development and some awesomely acted scenes from all three mains. What really made me furious was the fact that a 20 second scene was cut, which makes the movie make sense: I'll explain - the mother finds Gavin's gun under Steve's bed and THEREFORE signs him up for the program! (Because his brother killed himself with a gun). Without this scene it has NO real Depth! And Jeff(reviewer) i agree, like 54(which hasn't got the removed scenes which is SO deserved) this movie has butchered by the pathetic Studio's who really don't know what they are doing! (obviously shows!) Any how...great DVD (picture and audio GREAT!) And new cheap price! BUY NOW!

Summary: Random Movie begets Random Review!
Review: Having examined other reviews on this site, I can only explain some of them as the result of voting for attractive people. After watching this movie, this convinces me that if I ever commit some horrible crime, that I should get Katie Holmes or James Marsden to defend me. The review... this tries treading Stepford Wives/Lottery ground by being a chilling picture of conformity & savagery. It attempts to be scary, but seems to rely a lot on this camera trick where eyes glow neon red. It reminds me of a sports drink commercial. So if this kind of thing scares you, then this also might. Characters are badly written. The janitor's supposed to be a genius feigning retardation in order to study people closely, but he seems to be inserted into the movie like a fish into a sandbox...you don't rightly understand why he's there, but someone put him there for a reason. Basically, he makes 'plot' advance & it's his only reason for being in film. Katie Holmes may not be the greatest thespian, but I couldn't rid myself of the idea that all her 'bad girl 'tude' had more to do with a contempt for herself for appearing in this film. Really. Contempt seemed to ooze out of my tv screen and I almost got up to wipe it got so bad. She was either working so hard on getting this 'emotional tone' right or betrayed that she, like the rest of us, had a cable bill to pay and this lousy job would cover it. The box cover betrays that this movie is basically a series of situations that attractive people get into. If you're shopping for narrative, shop elsewhere. If you want situations for the sake of situations and shot without a lot of regard to logic, then watch this movie. Audio of poor quality and made dialogue hard to hear, but considering the quality of what I DID hear, I didn't bother rewinding. Oh, someone quotes a Pink Floyd song in an odd moment & this is good because it is unintentionally funny. James Marsden's & Katie Holmes' character don't seem to have much reason for falling in love or whatever beyond the fact that they both have good cheekbones. Oh, and the outdoor shots showed a very beautiful woodland area. k

Summary: ANYTHING BUT DISTURBING
Review: I enjoyed this movie. It was not one that I felt compelled about to discuss afterwards, but I am bored so I am writing a review. As probably the majority of people reading this do not have DVD (myself included) I shall review the VHS version. One of the main reasons that people are so critical of this film seems to be that they think it is horror, or trying to be of that genre. I would disagree, and suggest that it is simply an attempt at a suspense film, and as a suspense film, it fared OK. I was not really surprised at any point during the film, but some girls that I saw it with were, proving that it is effective to those who don't follow the genre. Some positive aspects of the film were its scripting originality, ending, cast, and from memory, sountrack. The ending is one everyone has seen before, and will probably see again, but fairly well done, the suspense scenes are fairly well constructed, although failing to really deliver, and the cast, while mainly good for star attraction, managed their roles fairly well. Overall, this is a fairly good film, with nothing really wrong, but there is no one aspect that makes it stand out above the rest. For this reason, I rate it just above average.

Summary: ....And a great nap was had by all!
Review: Yawn, this movie was so boring I LITERALLY dozed off half waythrough it. It has little to no suspense and Katie Holmes has thepersonality of a wet washcloth. The end scene was really stupid. I mean, it had no gore, which makes this title not even worth the name "horror". Of course, what did you expect from a movie featuring a Harvey Danger song!

Summary: lame
Review: This is an okay movie. It had a plot that was recycled from previous movies, it had bad acting, and a really awful ending. It was a mediocre film, that's the best way I can describe it... it wasn't awful and it wasn't good either. It was... in between. If you're horribly bored and you have nothing better to do with you're time, rent it from blockbuster or something and watch it, but it is certainly not worth more than $2 to see.

Summary: This Movie Is Better Than You Think!
Review: As another reviewer says below -- MGM royally screwed up the theatrical release of DISTURBING BEHAVIOR. This film could have been an original, sincere film, both suspenseful and dramatic -- but MGM thought they knew better and destroyed the film, cutting out ALL THE BEST SCENES. They basically ripped the heart and soul right out of the movie -- BUT, PRAISE DVD! The deleted scenes are now available, and with optional director's commentary. With these very critical scenes, DISTURBING BEHAVIOR becomes more than just another teenage romp -- it's a film with a voice, and a heart. Skillful direction, moody score, and stupendous performances by James Marsden, Nick Stahl and Katie Holmes. If you haven't already done so, give this movie a chance.
