I was lucky to be invited to a pre-screening of Disturbia by Ster Kinekor this evening. I took my good friend Tim along and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the pace of the movie and it kept me on the edge of my seat.
To be honest I hadn’t read much about the movie and I don’t think I would have watched it unless there was nothing else on the big screen that I hadn’t already seen. The cast was a bunch of unknowns to me so that wasn’t even a draw card. I am just not normally keen to watch thriller or horror movies as they usually involve lots of blood and guts.
I won’t give away the plot but I will say that Disturbia was at least original with an ingenious mix of thrills, suspense, comedy and touch of romance binding it all together. I highly recommend it. It comes out on the South African movie circuit this Friday, the 21st of September 2007.

Thanks again, Craig, for dragging me along. I enjoyed the movie as well, surprisingly, as I’m not a big fan on thrillers or horrors.
Interesting to see the product placements in movies these days as well. Look at the movie again and off the top of my head, I can spot at least 4…
Xbox 360, Sony PSP and video cameras, Apple Macbook and iTunes and Red Bull. With minor mentions for Shia’s odd concoction of Herchey’s and Skippy, and the tower of Twinkies 😀
Wonder how much the studios get paid for these placements, or if the actors are sponsored anything.
Yeah I actually forgot to post about that, that’ll teach me not to post so late at night. I especially liked that he was playing GRAW on his Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE.
If I recall the advertisers normally pay quite a handsome fee for product placements if the last few James Bond movies were anything to go by.
How the heck do you get all these invites?!
