Short description

Kale is a 17-year-old placed under house arrest after punching his teacher. He is confined to his house, and decides to use his free time spying on his neighbors. Things start to get weird when guests enter the Turner's house and don't come back out. Kale and his friends, Ronnie and Ashley, start to grow more and more interested in what is actually happening within the house of Robert Turner.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film initially received an R rating, but after editing, distributors gave it a PG-13 rating.
  • The scene between Kyle and his father at the beginning of the film was improvised.
  • In the first episode of season 6 of The Simpsons, 'Bart Gets an F' (Bart of Darkness), Bart breaks his leg and is forced to spend the entire summer at home. He becomes convinced that his neighbor Ned Flanders killed his wife Maude. The scene where Lisa Simpson sneaks into the Flanders' house is very similar to the scene in the movie where Ronnie ends up at Turner's.
  • The script was written in 1990, but was shelved. Only after Jeff Bleckner filmed a TV remake of Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” in 1998 did the studio decide to revise and put this script into production, but they only started working on it in 2004.
  • Steven Spielberg came up with the scene in which the boy rides a bicycle with a huge front wheel.
  • While preparing for the role, lead actor Shia LaBeouf spoke with many people under house arrest. This is how the scene with the tower of Twinkies came about.
  • The screenplay was written in 1990 but was shelved. It was only after Jeff Bleckner filmed a TV remake of Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' in 1998 that the studio decided to rework and put this script into production; however, they only began working on it in 2004.
  • In the scene where Ronnie first appears at Kyle's, the film's director decided at the last minute to add a jar of nuts and asked actor Aaron Yoo to use it somehow in the shot.
  • The title was translated into Russian as “Paranoia.” In reality, the title is a neologism – a blend of “Disturb” and “suburbia.”
  • Steven Spielberg came up with a scene where a young boy rides a bicycle with an enormous front wheel.
  • While preparing for the role, the lead actor Shia LaBeouf spoke with many people under house arrest. This is how the scene with the Twinkie tower came about.
  • Filming took place in the cities of Whittier and Pasadena, California, starting on March 29, 2006. The houses used for filming the neighboring mansions of Mr. Turner and Kayle are actually located in different cities.
  • In the first episode of season 6 of 'Bart the Darkness' of 'The Simpsons', Bart breaks his leg and has to spend the summer at home. He suspects his neighbor Ned Flanders has killed his wife, Maude. The scene where Lisa Simpson breaks into the Flanders' house is very similar to the scene from the film where Ronnie ends up at Turner's.
