comedy, thriller, horror mixed into one - stonecold
this film starts off with the father and son fishing trip which leads to disaster in that like a seen out of death proof where there car is repeatedly rammed off the road by a crazed driver. This hit and run incident leaves the father dead and sends the teenager Kale brecht spiraling out of control and culminating in him knocking out is teacher in class. lets face it everybody at one time or another in school wanted to hit there teacher for some reason or another.
This act however gets Kale handed a 3 month house arrest handed down to him which takes affect during the summer months which is every teenagers worst nightmare. Being kept to the confines of your own home not being able to go to any parties or even to the local shop..
Kale is attached an electronic tag to ensure he doesnt leave the perimeter of his house.
To makes things worse his mother decides to take away his tv and xbox. so wat does he do. he starts spying on his neighbours and when a hot girl(Ashley) moves in next door things start hotting up. kale suspects that his neighbour mr turner is the serial killer on the loose thats in the news and goes about trying to prove this with his best friend Ronnie and Ashling but nobody will believe them because they dont have any proof.
an enjoyable film overall. would recommend seeing it
