Disturbia, a review by addicted2dvd

Disturbia
Even on this quiet tree-lined street, no one is safe...especially from the savage killer next door. Welcome to 'Disturbia', "a cool thriller with big scares" (Richard Roeper, 'EBERT & ROEPER').

Living under three months' house arrest, Kale Brecht (Shia LaBeouf, 'Transformers') passes his days spying on the neighbors. It's all fun and games until things take a horrifying turn for the worse. Kale is convinced his neighbor next door is a serial killer - but he can't prove anything, can't convince anyone and can't leave his house without triggering an alarm. Enlisting the help of his friends, Kale is determined to expose the truth - but have they all taken on more than they bargained for with a cold-blooded murderer on the loose?

With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, Kale and his friends are in a race for their lives in this electrifying thriller that will keep you on the edge on your seat.

My Thoughts:
I have been looking forward to this movie since the first time I saw the trailer on TV! So I didn't wait long at all... I had to pop this one in the same day I got the DVD! :-p

I watched this movie... and all I can say is WOW! This was an awesome movie!!! Yes... I will admit it is not the most original movie in the world... but what they did with it was outstanding. I really was truly glued to the TV the whole time I was watching it. And for a DVD that is not even a special edition... this disc was loaded with extras! I did watch all the extras yet... but I did watch the Theatrical Trailer before I watched the movie.... I do that a lot with movies I never seen before... really gets me in the mood for what I am about to watch... plus I checked out the Deleted Scenes, the Outtakes... and the Photo Gallery. If you haven't seen this movie yet... I strongly recommend checking it out as soon as possible!

Plot:
So you think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Don't be too sure.... One of your favorite fairy tales is turned upside-down and inside-out in what the L.A. Times called "high-energy, imaginative entertainment." With irreverent storytelling, spunk and wit, Hoodwinked delivers a comedy caper for the young, the young at heart and everyone in between. When the police arrive at Granny's cottage in the woods to answer a domestic disturbance call, it looks like just another open-and-shut case. But Red, Granny, the Big Bad Wolf, and the Woodsman are not your usual suspects, as they have their own dark secrets, wily deceptions and conflicting accounts of the crime. Together, they must put aside their differences and find their own original twist on Happily Ever After in this "raucous, genre-busting, animated gem (Entertainment Weekly, The Must List)."

Extras:
Closed Captioned
Commentary
Deleted Scenes
Featurettes

Scene Access
Trailers

A fun play on the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. Police investigates four different points of views of what has happened. These four POV do interweave quite nicely and result in a story totally different as it first seems.
Animation is far from the league of Pixar (especially the movements) but it did not detract from the story otherwise.
