Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

"Rear Window" never comes up in the Disturbia press notes, which is probably just as well since it steals that movie's premise but none of Alfred Hitchcock's wit, finesse, or seduction.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

If it's possible to be a rip-off with wit, Disturbia qualifies.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Dennis LimAdd Critic to Favorites

What the new movie lacks in craft, suspense and metaphoric richness it makes up for with, um, gadgets.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

A nice little mystery thriller that takes a wrong turn on the way to its climax and morphs into a slasher movie.Read the full review

Rolling Stone | Peter TraversAdd Critic to Favorites

Cool stuff. Cool movie.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Ruthe SteinAdd Critic to Favorites

Caruso, a very visual director, serves up some surprises and scares, and he's paced his movie briskly. You're out of this disturbing suburbia before you know it, shaken and even stirred.Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | John DeForeAdd Critic to Favorites

There's plenty to ensure fresh jolts for viewers who know Hitch's tricks inside out, to say nothing of young moviegoers who don't know Grace Kelly from Thelma Ritter.Read the full review

The New York Times | A.O. ScottAdd Critic to Favorites

There are no big surprises, but the jumps and jolts are well timed and the overall mood is at once grisly and good-natured -- more diverting than disturbing.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Tasha RobinsonAdd Critic to Favorites

Once the plot finally kicks into gear, director D.J. Caruso (Taking Lives) effectively cranks up the tension.Read the full review

USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

Though it's not likely to become a classic like the Hitchcock film, it's a smart and well-acted teen thriller that serves up some lively scares.Read the full review
