Not knowing much about this film before watching it (for some reason it just seemed to jump off the shelf into my hands) I had little expectation but thought Shia LaBeouf would not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised, from woe go go it kept me interested with a good suspenseful story. It starts with Kale being confined to his house and front yard with a tag around his ankle to detect any movement outside those areas. Through boredom he spends much of his time looking out his windows through binoculars. Anyway it turns out the hot girl next door is not the only action going on, a neighbour appears to be up to no good and Kale suspects he's a serial killer.

The girl next door (Ashley played by Sarah Roemer) is a great accomplice to Kale, as is his mate Ronnie (played by Aaron Yoo) who brings an edgy funnyness to the film.

I'd say a worthy watch for sure!

Cheers
