20 Terrible Movies That Do NOT Deserve Their Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Scores

Score: 69% (Average Score: 6.30/10)

Consensus: Aside from its clichéd resolution, Disturbia is a tense, subtle thriller with a noteworthy performance from Shia LaBeouf.

Take Rear Window, one of the best films in all of American cinema.

Replace the great Jimmy Stewart with Shia LaBeouf (before he went off the rails), replace the wheelchair with an ankle monitor, replace that movie's chemistry-filled romance with an irritating, often-creepy teen love story, and replace the masterful tension of Rear Window with a distinctly so-so murder mystery, and yeah, you've got Disturbia.

This blatant Rear Window rip-off is really nothing great at all but critics liked it... for some reason.

Aside from the fact that it's aged horribly - it feels so 2000s in every way, and seeing Shia LaBeouf this squeaky clean doesn't sit so well now - this is just a very mediocre thriller that fails to ever really make you care or get you invested. There are a few tense moments and LaBeouf does a fine job in carrying the film, but that really is about it.

Furthermore, the PG-13 rating ensures that Disturbia lacks enough edge, and the many prolonged sequences of the protagonist voyeuristically spying on his eventual love interest (Sarah Roemer) while she's in various states of undress, are as cringe-inducing as they are wildly inappropriate.

All in all, an unbridled 'Meh'. It definitely deserved a splat.

Deserved Score: 40-59%.
