Disturbia: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* [[Binocular Shot]]: Used extensively.

* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Happens to both Kale and his mother. In a rare case in suspense films, this actually doesn't prevent them from retaliating -- Kale's mother is ironically [[Adults Are Useless|at her most useful by far]] while duct taped up in Turner's basement.

* [[Bratty Half Pint]]: The little kids, though [[Laser-Guided Karma]] hits them in a bulls-eye when Kale is freed from house arrest and he tells their mom that they've been watching porn. From what we can see in the end, she ''loses'' it.

* [[Dawson Casting]]: 28-year old Aaron Yoo as Ronnie is the worst offender. Also, Sarah Roehmer, 23, and [[Shia La Beouf]], 21.

* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Kale gets off his house arrest early due to "good behavior", gets the girl, and gets payback on the boys. Now, compared to losing his father, being put in house arrest in the first place, the resulting disconnect from society that made him the stalker that discovered the killer, which in turn puts his life, his mother's life, and his friends' lives in mortal danger. Although, his reputation in town did go from "that nutty kid under house arrest" to "that kid who saved us from the serial killer".

* [[Enhance Button]]

* [[Girl Next Door]]: Ashley is a rather unusual example of this. Especially for her love of reading books on her rooftop.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Now we know what [[Series/House Michael|Tritter]] does on his days off.

* [[Hollywood Nerd]]: Kale and Ashley.

* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The first part of the film is this for Kale. He is sentenced to house arrest for three months during summer holidays. Then his mother cuts off his Internet access and TV cables, and in the end he is reduced to making towers of Twinkies out of boredom. Then the neighborhood brats put a burning paper bag full of dog shit on his porch, and of course, Kale's feet get covered in it. Then he chases after the brats down the street only to violate his house arrest, so he sprints back and collapses embarrassingly on his shit-stained lawn in front of the sexy girl next door. Then the neighborhood cop, alerted by the GPS bracelet, arrives to bend him over and handcuff him publicly.
