I'll never forget these teen movies, especially since I was a teen at the time. If they wanted to make movies we would remember, they definitely succeeded. I can't seem to figure out why I liked and remembered these movies, however, which is kind of wierd. Maybe just because I could relate to the characters and it showed school as it pretty much was in real life at the time. I wrote a similar review for The Faculty, saying the same.

Disturbing behavior is the tale of a small coastal town where once unruly teens are transformed into academic geniuses.even stranger is that they all dress the same,join the same clubs,act the same.like soulless automatons.when Steve Clark(James Marsden)moves into town,he makes friends with the three misfits:Rachel Wagner(Katie Holmes),Gavin Strick(Nick Stahl) and U.V(Chad Donela).once the three realize the reason for the abrupt behavior changes,they must find a way to stop it,before they are next.Bruce Greenwood,(Thirteen Days,Deja Vu)William Sadler,(The Green Mile,Hard to Kill,Ethan Embry(Harold and Kumar go to White Castle,Sweet Home Alabama)and Katherine Isabelle(Earthsea,Insomnia)also have roles in the film.i thought this was a pretty good film.the premise is not original,but so what.the movie is very dark and will be thought provoking for some,while others will simply enjoy it for it's entertainment value.either way,it's worth watching. 8/10

This is basically a modern take on the Sepford children but with added sexual content and more graphic detail. The premise is this.After the death of his brother ,young teen Steven Clark, played by James Marsden, X Men,moves to the seemingly innocent town of Cradle Bay with his family.At first everything seems normal.The children are typical teens but when they get a red light in their eyes they become totally different. Steven makes friends with a weird group of outsiders including Katie Holmes who warn him that something is going on.He remains sceptical till he gets beaten up by a group of the teens and realises that something is terribly wrong. In this film you are never quite sure who is what and look out for the seemingly retarded janitor whose role is pivotal in the outcome of the movie. This film reminded me of the film The Faculty in many respects but wasn't as good. I saw this at 9.00 on channel 5 so it was probably cut but it still an enjoyable romp into the world of mind control and the scene in the hospital sticks in the memory. The cast did well but William sadler, as the janitor, did especially well and James Marsden and Katie Holmes show good chemistry. This film is not in my top ten fave movies but good for an hour and a half of escapism. Good film but the twist can be seen a mile away. My score 8/10
