BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

merklekranz Malcolm McDowell has done much better films (see "The Barber"), but none worse than this amateurish atrocity. The script, if there was one, makes no sense whatsoever. The acting by Malcolm McDowell, Geoffrey Lewis, Pricilla Pointer, Pamela Gidley, and everyone else is pathetic. I have no idea where the positive reviews here came from, but I guarantee that "Disturbed" is terrible. Don't believe me? Believe this. After reviewing over 800 movies on IMDb, I say this is absolutely the worst film I have seen, and I have viewed some real crap for sure. Beyond ridiculous, the script is not developed past a fifth grade level. You have been warned. - MERK

knifeintheeye I agree and disagree with all 9 reviews (to this point) on this flick to differing extents.This was by no means a classic movie. It barely would be considered a good movie. But I did watch it and I don't regret my decision to do so.Possible spoiler....The crazy twist ending does leave a little to be desired. A mental patient who 'died' and a weird mental patient outwitting the crazy rapist doctor? I know you have to be crazy to rape your patients, but the nutty patients outwitting the doctor? I had issues believing that.For the record, I liked the post credits little ending.

SMG3D This is really about a sadistic doctor in a mental hospital who rapes his patients. One of these patients commits suicide on visiting day in front of her very young daughter, who later, as an adult, admits herself into the same hospital under the pretense that she has sexual-oriented problems. Really she is just there for revenge. With the help of an orderly who is also disgusted by the doctor's behavior, she sets it up to look like the doctor accidentally murdered her while trying to rape her. Then her "body" mysteriously disappears and reappears despite the doctor's best efforts to conceal his crime. She "haunts" him until he looses his mind and ends up a mental patient himself.While this is certainly not a masterful film by any means, it's not really that bad, and if you are a big Malcolm McDowell fan you may even love it-- despite the general mediocrity of the movie, he shines. Whoever wrote the other review must have the attention-span of a doorknob. For a B-movie, it's really not that bad at all, and even has some charming and amusing moments (candy-gram, and I'll say no more).

gridoon A moderately amusing thriller with a comic edge. The (little known) director often uses distorted camera angles to portray the hero's slow "degeneration into a state of madness" (that's how he describes his condition at one point) and the script is clever enough to keep you guessing and wondering whether Malcolm McDowell (in a great performance that gives class to the production) is simply having "vivid" hallucinations or is driven to insanity by someone else. There are some impressively shot scenes in this movie, but it is marred by an inconclusive ending, which doesn't fully resolve the plot. (**)
