- 80The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThere'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.
- 80New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinOne way you know that D.J. Caruso is a resourceful director is that he scares you silly with a minimum of violence and a few smears of blood. His job was certainly made easier by Morse, whose glassy demeanor and high, soft rasp suggests horrors that not even Quentin Tarantino could imagine.
- 75Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversCool stuff. Cool movie.
- 70VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangSquirmingly fun suspenser that brings Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" into the era of vidcams and cell phones, serving up hearty, youth-skewing portions of PG-13 violence and bikini-bait along the way.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIf it's possible to be a rip-off with wit, Disturbia qualifies.
- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA nice little mystery thriller that takes a wrong turn on the way to its climax and morphs into a slasher movie.
- 60Village VoiceVillage VoiceThere's not one single bombshell dropped in Disturbia; everyone is exactly who you think they are and does exactly what you think they'll do precisely when you think they'll do it.
- 50Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenAustin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenUp-and-comer LaBeouf (Holes) is a young actor to watch, but he's had better opportunities than this teen thriller to show what he's capable of.
- 50Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonFor all its glitz and gadgets, is markedly inferior in everything but teen appeal.
- LaBeouf is appealing as the frustrated shut-in, and comic-relief cred goes to Aaron Yoo, who plays his neurotic buddy Ronnie. The ending, though, drags, and the film quickly shifts from a clever homage to "Rear Window" to a bad parody of "The Silence of the Lambs."
