Short description

Kale has a life most teenagers would envy. He spends his days endlessly playing video games, surfing the net, eating junk food and watching cable. He has complete free reign of the house, and a beautiful young hottie named Ashley has just moved in next door. There’s only one problem—he’s not allowed to leave the house. Kale’s under court-ordered house arrest for three months, and if he takes one step beyond a 100-foot perimeter of the house, his next confinement will be in a real prison.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The title was translated into Russian as “Paranoia.” In reality, the title is a neologism – a blend of “Disturb” and “suburbia.”
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • The film initially received an R rating, but after editing, distributors gave it a PG-13 rating.
  • 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.
  • In the scene where Ronnie first appears at Kyle's, the 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 scene between Kyle and his father at the beginning of the film was improvised.
  • 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.
