This is a clever, entertaining flick which pushes so many pubescent buttons it's hard to count them all.....lots of menacing shots through frosted glass, and a foggy finality as the Cradle Bay ferry slips into its mooring.....the choice of Katie Holmes (from Dawson's Creek) as his girlfriend Rachel is interesting.....Apart from the usual B-movie influences, Disturbing Behavior also makes use of fascist imagery and vocabulary once associated with the eugenics movement..... ...

Disturbing Behavior" is rated R for violent fist fighting, profanity, gory makeup effects, drug use, use of vulgar slang terms, simulated sex and brief female nudity. But that's not necessarily a good thing, because the film is doomed to pale in comparison to them. ... Full Review

Stahl is good, too, as the boy who pulls a sudden personality switcheroo. Too bad the film itself offers more guffaws than chills. Whatever suspense there is to be found in his script was lost on director David Nutter (TV's The X-Files ). ... Full Review

This isn't all to say that Disturbing Behavior wasn't fun: it was. This basically puts a stake in the heart of the movie, killing what could have been a good teen flick, which still was, according to the majority of teens, a cool movie. ... Full Review
