A sympathetic judge sentences him to three months house arrest, with an ankle monitor and a proximity sensor.On Kale's first day of house arrest, Detective Parker explains the monitor. The officer overseeing him, Gutierrez, is revealed to be the cousin of the Spanish teacher he had hit. Kale watches TV and plays video games until his frustrated mother Julie cancels his Xbox Live subscription and cuts his TV's cord. Bored, Kale watches his neighborhood with binoculars, including his attractive new neighbor Ashley Carlson, and Robert Turner, a solitary man. He accidentally trips his proximity sensor after chasing pranking children.One night, Kale becomes suspicious of Turner after he returns home in a 1960s Ford Mustang with a dented fender, which matches the description of a car given on a news report of a serial killer at large. Befriending Ashley, they begin to spy on Turner with Kale's best friend Ronnie. Turner arrives home with a woman, who they later see running frantically from him, but later appears to drive away.Kale becomes jealous when Ashley throws a party and flirts with popular people from school, prompting him to blast non-party-related music to disrupt her party. Ashley breaks into the house to turn it off, and Kale reveals he has been observing her since she moved in and is romantically interested, so they kiss.The following day, Kale has Ashley follow Turner to the supermarket so Ronnie can obtain Turner's garage controller's code. She agrees, but Turner catches her in the parking lot and intimidates her. Shaken, Ashley stops helping in the investigation. Ronnie then realizes he left his phone in Turner's car and breaks into his garage, with Kale watching at a distance. When Ronnie gets trapped when the garage door closes, Kale tries to rescue him, but alerts the police by tripping the ankle monitor. They arrive and search the garage, as Kale accuses Turner of murder. However, they only find a bag containing a roadkill deer.Julie goes to Turner's house to convince him not to press charges against Kale. Ronnie escapes from Turner's house and gives Kale the video he made while running through the house. Freezing a frame and zooming in, Kale sees the corpse of the woman from earlier. Meanwhile, Turner incapacitates and binds Julie. Turner enters their house, bashing Ronnie over the head with a bat. After binding and gagging Kale, he reveals he will frame him for the murders and make it appear that Kale then killed himself. However, Ashley arrives, distracting Turner and allowing Kale to club him in the face. Kale throws him from the top of the stairs before Ashley frees him. They jump out of the window into her pool as Turner resurfaces. Kale's ankle monitor again alerts the police.Looking for his mother, Kale enters Turner's home. Inside, he finds evidence of Turner's previous murders, including the corpses of his victims and a woman's dress and wig, indicating Turner posed as the woman leaving the house the night Kale and Ashley were watching. When Officer Gutierrez arrives, Turner snaps his neck. Kale finds his mother bound and gagged in the cellar. Turner appears, slashes him in the back and pins him to a wall. Before Turner can kill Kale, Julie stabs him in the leg with a screwdriver, allowing Kale to impale Turner with gardening shears.Following the discovery of the murders, Kale's ankle bracelet is removed early for good behavior. Kale exacts revenge on the pranking neighborhood children before kissing Ashley on his sofa, while Ronnie playfully videotapes them.Cast[edit]Shia LaBeouf as Kale Brecht, a troubled high school teenager who is traumatized by his father's death and placed under house arrest after assaulting his teacherDavid Morse as Robert Turner, a serial murdererSarah Roemer as Ashley Carlson, Kale's girlfriendCarrie-Anne Moss as Julie Brecht, Kale's mother who gives strict authority to her sonAaron Yoo as Ronald "Ronnie" Chu, Kale's best friendJose Pablo Cantillo as Officer Gutierrez, a short-tempered police officer and the cousin of Kale's teacher who monitors Kale's house arrest while abusing and making fun of himMatt Craven as Daniel "Danny" Brecht, Kale's father who dies in a car crashViola Davis as Detective Parker, the detective in charge of Kale's house arrest caseLuciano Rauso and Brandon and Daniel Caruso as the Greenwood boys, a trio of neighbors who prank and humiliate KaleKevin Quinn as Mr. CarlsonElyse Mirto as Mrs. CarlsonSuzanne Rico and Kent Shocknek as news anchorsRene Rivera as Señor Gutierrez, Kale's Spanish teacherAmanda Walsh as Minnie TycoCharles Carroll as judgeGillian Shure as Turner's club girlDominic Daniel as policemanLisa Robin as big wheel momCindy Lou Adkins as Mrs. Greenwood, mother of the Greenwood boysProduction[edit]Development and writing[edit]As Christopher Landon heard an NPR show discussing Martha Stewart being on house arrest, he started thinking on what he would do in a similar condition, "already sort of being a voyeur, I figured that I would just be spying on my neighbors all the time.” He made the protagonist a teenager dealing with his father's death to reflect his own life experiences.[4][5] Landon wrote a spec script based on that, which ended up sold to The Montecito Picture Company, who brought it into development at DreamWorks Pictures.[6]Executive producer Steven Spielberg arranged for LaBeouf to be on the casting shortlist for this film because he was impressed by LaBeouf's work on Holes. Caruso auditioned over a hundred males for the role in five weeks before settling on LaBeouf as he was looking for someone "who guys would really like and respond to, because he wasn't going to be such a pretty boy". LaBeouf was attracted to the role because of the director's 2002 film The Salton Sea, which he complimented as one of his favorite films. Before filming started, the two watched the thriller films Rear Window starring James Stewart, Straw Dogs starring Dustin Hoffman, and The Conversation starring Gene Hackman. They also viewed the 1989 romantic film Say Anything... and "mixed all the movies together".[7] LaBeouf says he spoke to people on house arrest and locked himself in a room with the bracelet to feel what the confinement of house arrest is like.[7] He commented in an interview, "...it's hard. I'm not going to say it's harder than jail, but it's tough. House arrest is hard because everything is available. [...] The temptation sucks. That's the torture of it."[7] Caruso gave him the freedom to improvise whenever necessary to make the dialogue appeal to the current generation.Filming[edit]Disturbia was filmed on location in the cities of Whittier, California and Pasadena, California. Filming took place from January 6, 2006 to April 29, 2006. The homes of Kale and Mr. Turner, which were supposed to be across from each other, were actually located in two different cities.[8]During filming, LaBeouf began a program that saw him gain twenty five pounds of muscle in preparation of his future films Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.[9]According to LaBeouf, David Morse who plays Mr. Turner, did not speak to LaBeouf or any of the other younger actors while on set. LaBeouf said, "When we finished filming, he was very friendly. But he's a method actor, and as long as we were shooting, he wouldn't say a word to us."[10]
