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

shornby-1 I think this movie was totally underrated. Malcolm McDowell's performance as Dr. Russell was brilliant. His personality transition during the course of the movie added a wonderful level of humor. I enjoyed the story line and found that the whole plot wasn't given away too early. To me, the movie was just what I think it was intended to be--light entertainment. Also I felt the Geoffrey Lewis's part as Michael added much to the overall story. He was the "straight man" and pulled of some great deadpan lines. One other bonus is that the movie shows that very fine line between sanity and insanity. I could watch this production a second time and be just as entertained.

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. (**)

Xq_Smee Listen to me. I must say that this movie was absolutely horrible. I had no idea what the point of this entire movie was! It starts with this incredibly stupid scene with the "doctor" injecting his patients, knocking them out to "experiment with them". It all takes place in an insane asylum. Eventually, the doctor gets this patient that is "attractive". He decides to "experiment" on her. Well, he ends up killing her. She was DEAD! And then the rest of the movie, her "ghost" haunts this doctor. I usually don't write to describe movies like this. But I feel it is my solemn duty to warn you NEVER to waste your time with this unimaginably horrible film. If you are watching this film to see the actor Malcolm McDowell, who is a fabulous actor, you are wasting your time. Go see A Clockwork Orange, a much better Malcolm McDowell film, MUCH better. Please, skip this awful movie. Start a petition in your community to have this movie burned and anyone who disagrees locked up. God be with anyone who decides to watch this movie despite my imminent warnings.
