Kale (LaBoeuf) has been placed under house arrest for punching his teacher (Rivera). Confined to his immediate home for three months Kale spies on his neighbour, Ashley (Roemer) to relieve his boredom. His ever present surveillance of the area alerts him to Robert (Morse) who has a car that matches the description of one owned by a serial killer. Events lead him to believe that Robert is killing people in his house, but only his best friend Ronnie (Yoo) and eventually Ashley are convinced.

Nice likable young cast and a movie that goes exactly where you expect it to. No surprises here though it has an explosive start which sets the scene for the state of mind of Kale.

Well worth seeing, it doesn't disappoint in any way and you will just roll along with it. Only trouble is you never really feel that the hero is in any real danger and menacing as Morse can be, you have to wonder why he didn't just move on as soon as he thought they were on to him.

Still, recommended and likable. Good date movie, language isn't bad either.
