Disturbia
The boy's name is Kale, he was a 17 year old boy who had a very close relationship with his father. They went on a father/son fishing trip. They both were having a fantastic time, but on their way home, they were on the phone to the boy's mother having a joke around, only until a jeep speeds past them uncontrollably. Kale then swears, looks at his dad, then back to the road. The jeep takes a sharp turn and Kale crashes the car. The car then flies in the air, does a 180' degree flip and slams on the concrete road. Kale's dad looks at his son and asks if he was alright. Kale looks at his father and his face reaction looked like he had seen a ghost. His father turns around and screams "KALE", and Kale screams "DAD": that was their only words to each other. Kale yanked himself out the car to see his father. He limped around the car and when he saw his father, it felt like the movie was on pause because of his reaction, he looked traumatised, petrified and tearful. Kale was funny, jokey person with his father. He was a down to earth person that would leave his friends to spend time with his father.
After his father's death, his appearance into the next scene was different, he was a person that was failing class, not trying his best and trying to block out the world around him by the colours he was wearing, and the way he was acting in class. His attitude towards the teacher was different, in a negative way. However, when the teacher brought up on how his father would think it felt that the whole movie was on a pause, the tension picked up and then he hit the teacher in the face. In the next scene, they are in court and the judge had said he would have been sent to juvie, and put him under house arrest, but mentioned about other incidents that have been reported. This would mean that he has been into trouble before and shows that he is a trouble maker. In the next scene, when he is home, he has been given a tag around his ankle and the police said for him to do interesting things to keep him busy, but he was playing his playstation, watching television, or making a mix of gruesome foods. After a while, he got bored and wanted to do other things, so he starts looking around his neighborhood and finding out propositions. Furthermore, he is also a bit naughty by spying on the girl next door while she swims and changes, and starts to fall in love with her. This is the part when his lover ‘Ashley’ appears. Ashely is a girl that moved in next door with her family. She is the only child in her family, but was forced to move from the city. She is a pretty, elegant girl. She is quite successful as she can do anything: she can drive, she can swim (she loves swimming), she even does yoga in her spare time. She is as fit as an athlete. Ashley also has a sense of fashion, but there is a small secret behind her; she does not live a happy, luxurious life as her mum and dad have fights all the time, and her dad has a bad temper, so when he shouts at her, she gets upset and cries in a spot on her own. Mrs Brecht is Kale’s mother, she plays a small part in the movie. In the beginning, she was a happily married young woman with a son, but was always cooking, providing for the family. She also wore light clothes with a happy face, but after her husband died her style had changed into black clothes and she wore a christ necklace around her neck, transforming into an old widow. Before the crash, she was different on how she approached and spoke to kale, but now she looks fed up like he has been into trouble a little too much. She had also looked quite annoyed and stressed when she had to pay the fee of having the tag around her son's leg. Mrs Brecht looks as if she is a very hard working woman, trying to raise her trouble maker son and trying to pay for them both to live. Ronnie is a great friend of Kale’s, and will always stick by Kale’s side. He is a bit of a joker and very popular in his class, he speaks fluent Spanish but can get easily bored. Robert Tuner is an old man that lives next door to Kale. He has a low profile in the movie, but Kale keeps an eye on him thinking there is something suspicious about him. He also likes to mow his lawn at least twice a day. He also likes everything perfect (he has OCD). Robert was driving a mustang the same shape model and colour as the one that went missing with the dent on the left side. In the middle scene the tension grows and everything becomes different, all of the characters change on what happens. Kale changes from the beginning, he becomes more alert about things since he is off technology and under house arrest. He becomes more curious about the person that lives next door, Robert Tuner. He gets scared while he was spying on his neighbour and gets absorbed into what's happening in the next door’s house, and screams. His mum comes out of nowhere and asks if he is feeling alright, but when she was asking him on what he was doing, he didn't answer very well: "i was staring at the wind…?” Kale is now getting close to his mum and building trust bond, but his mum might think that there is a catch with his suspicious behaviour. Kale transforms into a naughty person by spying on the girl next door when she changes, swims, does yoga, or sitting on the roof reading. This shows that he likes watching her every move, but this also shows that he really likes her, so is it not just a normal crush. She caught him out and walked to his house, knowing he was watching her. However, Kale was over excited to see her so he could have an actual conversation with her. She wanted to hang with him and, conveniently found video games interacting. Kale became nervous whilst Ashley was around, and felt embarrassed on how his room looked when she first came in. Throughout the middle part of the movie, Ashley and Kale became close friends, so close that he lets her in on the plan on spying on Robert Tuner, and to have a night watch. Whilst Ronnie was sleeping, him and Ashley have time alone to have a conversation, but the atmosphere changes and becomes romantic, Ashley and Kale lean in closer… Ronnie wakes up and spoils the moment, but Ashley breaks away and has a phone call from her mother. Kale walked Ashley out to the part where he can't cross and they have a another moment, but she jumps beside the line and says “see you later”. Kale got rejected for the seconded time in one day. When he goes back upstairs, he looks at Robert Tuner’s window and see him chasing the young girl around his house in the dark. She looked petrified, but when she runs to the corner everything looked calm. Kale looks cautiously to each window and, at the end, he sees Tuner looking at him with a straight face. Before this happened, he was dancing with this girl and got a knife out, went closer to her, them sliced her price tag off her dress. What's happening now is that he thinks Tuner has killed her, since he can't see the girl. He calls Ronnie over the phone. But while explaining to Ronnie, he sees the girl walk back to her car. Ronnie thinks Kale is losing his mind because of staying in the house too much and spying on his neighbour. Ronnie is being a great friend though the movie and helping out and doing team work on spying on Robert Tuner to see if he is a murder or on what he is hiding and why does he do the most strangest things. He is a little bit of an idiot but according to kale he is a "jackass"for spoiling kales moment with ashley. Ronnie gets easily distracted by girls like when ashley was swimming , he is as naughty as kale by spying and being a stalker to ashley when she is at home .Ronnie can get over excited about the smallest things but could be a real idiot about things but can get nervous and embarrassed about things to but he tries to act smart by using big words but he is really lazy.But Ronnie thinks kale is really losing his mind. Ashley is a down to earth person and does not mind hanging out with the opposite gender, and doesn't seem to care about being watched by the boys either. But when she goes over to Kale’s house, she becomes a little flirty, and likes to invite herself in and do what she wants. She also said she likes to play games, and doesn't mind helping to spy on her neighbour, creating team work. Whilst she is spying at night, with the boys, we learn that he can hijack phones and hack into them. She also started decorating Kale’s tag around his ankle. They look into each other's eyes; she starts getting close to Kale, and was about to kiss but she rejected. When she goes home, she sits in her bedroom and this time she closes her blinds, knowing that Kale is watching. She throws a party with people she meets in school, but Kale gets jealous; he can't be there with her and he gets angry that she is hugging other guys. Kale thinks of a plan, and he gets all the speakers and connects them together, puts them all around his roof and plays music. Ashley looks up in frustration and goes there. Kale is having an amusing laugh, but ashley comes through the window, having to climb the house to get in, grabs the iPod, then turned the music off and runs to the balcony. Kale runs after Ashley, she stops and she says "come any closer i will drop it, but Kale says “no, I only have my 65 songs are on there”, but she opens up and ask him that if he has been watching her, and he opens up to her and says that he watches her do all sorts of things. She thinks it's romantic, therefore, they start to kiss. The scene changes to Tuner’s house and sees a blood splat all over the window, then seeing him walking out of the top room, dragging a heavy blue bag. Kale and Ashley hear the noise and look out the window. The next day was like mission impossible for them as Ashley stalks Mr Tuner, Kale and Ronnie brake into Mr Tuners car. Ronnie was scared to do this, but Kale was reassuring him it was going to be just fine. As Ashley followed Mr Tuner around the hardware store, taking photos of what he picks up, she watches him at the counter. He turns around and sees her and puts the shovel away and does not buy anything. Ashley also turns, but coincidentally, bumps into a friend. Ashley looks around to see Mr tuner not there, and runs to her car telling Kaleon the phone. She starts to drive, but Mr Tuner comes out of nowhere and stands in front of the car. Ashley hits the brakes and starts to get scared as he walks around the car and opens the door. She feels nervous, slowly reaching for the door but Mr Tuner reaches over and takes the keys out. He states that her friends are invading his personal space and that he doesn't like it, but says if you leave me alone i will leave you alone. She goes back and explains to Kale to leave him alone and it's not nice to spy on this neighbourhood. Kale refuses to listen and still goes on spying whilst ashley leaves. Ms Brecht, at this time, is hardly around, she is always out and about working. When she is at home, she is mostly sleeping or doing something else whilst the boys are up stairs. Robert Tuner is shown as a bit of a freaky character. He was cutting his grass and Kale was, inevitably, watching him from the peep hole on the fence. Robert spots him, says “I can see you”, then walks closer to the hole, bends down and puts his hand through and picks up a small, wild rabbit. He angrily shouts "you little rodent trying to mess my beautiful garden”, then disappears with the rabbit. This is showing that he is a person who likes to be neat and tidy. However, he sets animal traps to keep little pests out from messing up his well designed garden. Later into the day, he goes out and, yet again, Kale was watching him. He arrives late at night, but with 2 cars this time. According to Ashley, she was at a club. She walks with Robert into his house every time. Kale watches closely. After that, when Kale comes back, Ashley is running around his house, screaming. Mr Tuner is chasing her and the lights go out. Kale looks around every window, but the one he looks at is the one where Mr Tuner was watching him from… Kale drops to the floor and calls Ronnie. The next day, Kale goes down stairs for breakfast. He goes to the fridge, gets and grabs his breakfast. When he closes it, he sees Mr Tuner and jumps. Rapidly, Kale grabs a knife, but his mother walks in and introduces herself to Tuner and wonders what is going on; then she starts talking. Mr Tuner is bringing random subjects up on why Kale has a tag on his ankle. His mother starts explaining, but Kale interrupts and says he popped a teacher in Spanish class. Robert then starts talking in Spanish to intimidate him. Kale asks why Mr Tuner is in the house because he was confused. Confidentiality, his mum explained that her tires popped and he was there in the nick of time to fix it; helping her get home (this is showing that he is good with cars and might have been a mechanic). Kale gets offended and said that his dad put something on the tires so they would not pop. His mother then said "well it didn't work, did it?” Kale and Mr Tuner start having a fight in the kitchen, but Mr Tuner leaves and asks Kale’s mother if she wanted to go for a movie and have dinner one night (flirting with her). Kale immediately replies “NO”, but his mother said it would be nice to get out the house. Kale shows that he cares for his mother by making sure she is not alone with Robert Tuner, or even speak to him. Kale gets really suspicious on what Tuner has in the blue bag, and does some research. He looks at blueprints of the house and finds out how long Tuner has had it etc… But, looking at the blueprints of the house, Kale finds that that there is a huge space between the house and garage. Kale calls Ronnie and tells Ronnie what he has just found out. He made a plan to break into his car to see if the blue bag is there, and to see what's in the garage. Whilst they are doing this, Ashley is spying on Tuner. Ronnie is the main person on this mission while he has to do all the breaking and entering, whilst Kale is the ‘look out’. Ronnie keeps pestering Kale to see if Tuner is around because he is so scared on what's going to happen if he returns. He finally breaks the car door open and looks around until Kale reports back that Tuner is on his way home. Ronnie is petrified and jumps out the car whilst he has the opportunity. The door then shuts, he gets the numbers to open the garage, then runs back to Kale’s house. Later on, Kale, still spying on Tuner, tries to ring Ronnie to update him on the dilemma, but he doesn't pick up. About 5 seconds later, the doorbell rings and it's Ronnie panicking that he left his phone inside Tuners car. Kale constructs another plan to retrieve Ronnie's phone and try not get caught by Tuner . Ronnie goes for it; sneaks in and gets his phone from the car, but Kale says to him “what's in the bag?” Ronnie walks toward the bag, explaining that it smells foul. In addition, he said that he saw silky hair in the corner of his eye. The garage door closed, so Ronnie started to panic. Kale, uncontrollably, starts to get scared and attempts to find a way out. They check to see if Tuner is awake. Ronnie, not waiting for anything, went running through the house screaming, fell, then screamed louder. Kale is traumatised on what's just happened and grabs the nearest object he is close to: fortunately, there was a baseball bat. Kale went running to Tuner front door because he ran out his boundary. Tuner called the police and they came before Kale could go inside to save Ronnie.The police arrived and drove Kale back to his house. Kale’s mum was very disappointed, so she goes to Tuners house to say apologise, but ask him not to press charges. Kale then stormed upstairs and gets a message, saying “look at your at your screen". The screen blurs and you see Ronnie. He looks lifeless. Kale gets scared but recognises something, something that will show where abouts Ronnie is. He walks to his wooden cupboard, opens it and Ronnie comes jumping out, scaring Kale. Kale gets worked up, grabs Ronnie’s shirt and pins him to the floor. He begins swearing and explaining how much he has been through. Ronnie laughs, but when he sees how serious kale is, so he stops, briefly explaining that it was only a joke. He panicked, but he couldn't go to the police… ,i was not thinking, i didn't want to go to jail”. After this trauma, Kale hears footsteps of heels and looks out the window to see if his mum was walking to Tuner’s house to apologise. He invites her in and looks at the great escape that was on camera. He watches it over, but the part where Ronnie fell over. While this is happening, Ronnie is down stairs eating his favourite snack and then, anonymously, someone comes in the house. Ronnie looks around at he gets smacked, with great force on his head with a silver baseball bat; the same kind that Kale used to break the door open to save Ronnie. This anonymous person goes upstairs and walks to Kale’s room. Kale looks around to see if it's Ronnie, but its Tuner. He throws a punch at Kale, knocking him out. He wakes up with tuner facing him deleting things. Also, he deleted information about what he had found out about Tuner and tries to make Kale take the blame on what's happened. He writes a step by step plan on how he is going to kill his friends and family. At the right time, Ashley shows up and comes to the rescue. She comes upstairs and sees Tuner and kale fighting. As quick as she could, she attacks Tuner by scratching his face and pushing him out the door, down the stairs. She locks the door and helps Kale get untied. At this point, they are both scared and terrified on what's happening and realises that his mum is in danger. Tuner comes back up and smashes the door down with the baseball bat. Kale and Ashley are on the roof and then jumps into her pool. He directs Ashley to go inside and call for help whilst he goes and rescues his mum. Kale left the house the second time that night, but the police officer takes his time to come and doesn't care. He probably thinks that he is like the boy who cried wolf. Kale goes inside and smashes the windows and goes looking for his mum. He is walking through the house he presses on the walls to see which is not a real wall and which is a real wall. Whilst trying to find his mum, he comes to a part that looks like a wall, but it's a door. He then opens it and finds a white room with an ice bucket. He walks towards the cupboard and sees an air vent. Fearlessly, he crawls through and sees a dead body. He screams, runs out and pushes the cupboard, only to find a staircase. Walking down, he realises that it's too dark, so he grabs his torch, shaking on what going to happen next. Everything is serious for a moment, but then he hits his head against a pipe . As he keeps walking, he sees tools and ID cards on walls, and in boxes. As he gets deeper down the staircase, he witnesses these traumas that he is afraid of, but he would do anything to save his mum. He is a grave man. Walking further into the place, he falls through the floorboards and falls into dirty water with decomposed bodies. He walks into this confusing maze, and finds his mum to free her. Tuner was behind his mum and chucks her to the side. Tuner tried to attack Kale, but they start fighting, throwing punches, hitting one another. Kale’s mother grabs a pair of gardening scissors and forces it into Tuners stomach. He collapses into the green water, one floor below. Kale and his mum exit the house with complete relief, and walk out with style. Ashley and Kale live a happy couple, without any concerns. |
