Watch Disturbing Behavior For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Crappy film

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Disturbing Behaviour is a thriller that was overlooked upon its release in July, 1998. The movie has a popular cast and an intriguing storyline. This movie is similar to thrillers like The Faculty and Urban Legend. All three of these movies were released in 1998. I personally like The Faculty and Urban Legend better than Disturbing Behaviour. The movie is 1 hour and 24 minutes but the movie should have been more detailed about the plot. Most thrillers are 90 to 120 minutes. If this movie was longer the impact of the movie and box office success of the movie would have been massively increased. I think that The Faculty is more stylish than this movie and Urban Legend is more intense. Urban Legend has more clever plot twists and is similar to Scream in regards to its plot. I liked how the filmmakers took this movie and put their own spin on it. There isn't one moment of the movie I dislike. I feel the movie could have had added depth. Numerous scenes were deleted from the movie that flesh out the characters and they clarify any unanswered questions you may have after watching the theatrical version. Those scenes also add vital information to the plot that isn't in the version that was released. Overall Disturbing Behaviour is an entertaining addition to the eerie teen thrillers that were widely released in cinemas during the 1990's. The movie has an original style and some twists can't be foreseen in the movie. Not all the characters are predictable and every actor has fun with their role. I believe they chose the best actors in the business at the time to act in this movie. Every actor seems like their character, they don't seem like they're acting. I couldn't imagine any other actor playing their roles, if other actors did this movie wouldn't have turned out as well as it did.

When Steve moves with his family to Cradle Bay and enrols in the local high school, he's not sure where he fits in with the local crowds. He doesn't really fit in with the diverse groups you would expect to find in a typical American high school. Steve looks like one of the jocks, but they don't seem quite right. The jocks seem perfect with their matching jackets, hair cuts, charity work, and perfect behaviour that would make any parent proud. When Steve befriends two social misfits of the school, Gavin and Rachel, he soon discovers why the jocks are so perfect.....It's virtually a remake of The Stepford Wives, with troublesome teens being replaced, or 'upgraded' to be the perfect child. Unfortunately, Rodriguez beat the makers to it with the wonderful The Faculty, which had the good will to be very tongue in cheek, and exploit its B-movie heritage.This film takes itself way too seriously, and spends too much time explaining the maguffin if the film, rather than just going all bonkers like its premise and having fun with it.The cast are okay, but come the end of it, it's just like all the other high school movies that were released in 1999, and when you think about it, there were a stupid amount, and this was one of the poorest.At least Katie Holmes is easy on the eye.Boring stuff, otherwise....

I never saw Disturbing Behavior at the theater, I rented it back in 1999, liked it and bought the DVD. The DVD that I have has deleted scenes and the original ending. The movie is 1hr 24min long and the deleted scenes are great. If the company were to put the deleted scenes in the movie adding about 15 minutes, the movie would be a lot better and the rating would probably be higher than they are now on IMDb. Just my opinion. The deleted scenes tell more about the doctor and his daughter. Also explains more about Steve's brother.A lot of movies are ruined by the removal of scenes and the decision as to which ending the movie should have. The alternate ending is a lot better and explains more about the character UV.

Like "The Faculty", released the same year, "Disturbing Behaviour" is a shameless amalgamation of "The Thing", "The Stepford Wives" and "Invasion of The Body Snatchers".The plot: a small town high school is slowly taken over by scientists who brainwash the local students. It's up to our band of heroes, led by James Marsden and Katie Holmes, to stop them.The film may be derivative, but it embraces its trashy nature, revelling in gore and nudity, the camera leering over Holmes' body and the director keeping the pace frenetic. The film contains an interesting score by Mark Snow, a cross between John Carpenter's 70s horror scores and "The Terminator" soundtrack, whilst the film itself plays like a middle tier John Carpenter movie, with several interesting compositions (a well lit gas station scene) and moody florescent bulb lit night sequences occurring every now and then.7.9/10 – With Holmes pursued by and sucked into a crazy cult in real life, this film, which involves her being chased by cultists determined to brainwash her, now seems prophetic.
