Disturbia


This movie was a lot better then The Rear Window I thought. It was alot more interesting but I thought it was very different throughout the hole movie. Shilah Buff was excellent in this movie. He was able to overcome and live with his fathers death to save many lives probably in the future. This movie was also excelerating and kept the audience guessing the hole time. Robert Turner the character executed the role of a killer exceptionally well. his tone just set the mood for a crazy cerial killer, it just kreeped me out. i think one of the best scary movies i have ever seen.

The Rear Window


This movie was very mysterious and liz the whole time was sleeping. I was very interested with the murder case and it reminds me of the movie disturbia from present time. The lady in the movie was beautiful and also Jeffs nurse from the insurance company was making the murder sound funny by saying disturbing this about the murder. I actually liked the movie a lot and i thought it was very interesting and kept me guessing the whole time.
