Disturbing Behavior. So James Marsden (before he lost an eye and became Cyclops) moves to one of those picture-postcard remote island bay communities that you just know is going to be full of weirdos, psychos and possibly mormons, after the death of his brother. Cue teenage angst, being the 'outsider' - quite literally, high-school high jinks, and a way too cute Katie Holmes finding out that the 'Blue Ribbons' fraternity is more than meets the eye and that the in-crowd at school have more in common with the Stepford Children than with Screech from Saved by the Bell.
A typical kind of thriller of this type a la aforementioned Stepford Children, a dash of the paranoia of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and more than a sprinkling of The Faculty, this will appeal to you if you're a fan of those films, although it does get slightly more far-fetched towards the end than might be healthy for you if you already suffer from a sprained sense of disbelief.
A decent film of its type and a solid 3.5/5 from me.
