Disturbed (2009)
Slasher/Thriller
The main element of this movie that "disturbed" me is the vocalized thoughts. Although the dialogue is impressive, the monologues (when you hear the characters describe in detail what they are looking for, why they are anxious, etc.) are insulting. My guess is the actors were told to ad lib those scenes--given plot and motivational guidelines--and nearly every word spoken was then deemed worthy to leave in the final cut. But the dialogue, as has already been commented by another, is believably "teen." Not only the lingo, but the attitude and pace of the modern high school conversation is well captured. Outshining the other cast members was Alex Aldridge, whose downplayed character stands in sharp contrast to others who are somewhat "over the top."
