So you loved Disturbia and now you're hunting for something that captures that same "holy crap, what's happening next door?" energy? I totally get it. There's something addictive about suburban paranoia mixed with horror and that helpless feeling of being stuck watching everything unfold.
Haven't watched Disturbia yet? Watch now before diving into these similar gems.
The Clovehitch Killer (2018)
This one messed me up in the best way possible. Picture this: you're a religious kid in a small town, and you start finding weird stuff that suggests someone you trust might be... well, let's just say not who you thought they were. It's based on the BTK Killer case, which makes it even more unsettling.
What really got to me was how it made me question everything about trust and family. You know that creepy feeling in Disturbia where you realize you might not actually know your neighbors? Yeah, this cranks that up to eleven, but with the people you're supposed to trust the most.

Summer of 84 (2018)
Okay, if you're a sucker for 80s nostalgia mixed with pure dread, this is your jam. Four teenage friends think their neighbor (who happens to be a cop) might be killing people. The whole thing has this perfect blend of "Stand by Me" friendship vibes and genuine terror.
It's basically Disturbia but with a group of friends doing the investigating instead of just one guy. The suburban paranoia is cranked up, and honestly? The stakes feel way higher. These kids are in way over their heads.

The Glass House (2001)
This one's a bit older but still hits hard. Two kids lose their parents and move in with family friends who seem perfect on the surface.
What I love about this is how it builds that same slow-burn suspicion that made Disturbia so effective. You keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, and when it does... yikes...

Acolytes (2008)
Three teenagers find evidence of something horrible and decide to blackmail the person responsible. As you can imagine, this goes about as well as you'd expect (which is to say, not well at all).
This one reminded me of Disturbia because it's all about kids making choices that seem smart at the time but quickly spiral into nightmare territory. Sometimes curiosity and a little too much confidence can get you into serious trouble.

A Quiet Place (2018)
Now, this one's more straight horror than mystery, but hear me out. The family dynamics and that constant sense of being watched? Pure Disturbia energy, just with monsters instead of creepy neighbors.
The whole movie is about being trapped in your own space, constantly aware that danger could be lurking anywhere. If you loved the tension and family bond in Disturbia, this one will definitely get your heart racing.

Stalked by My Neighbor (2015)
A mom and daughter move to what should be a safe neighborhood after a traumatic experience, only to realize they might have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Someone's watching them, and it's not the friendly kind of neighbor surveillance.
This is probably the closest you'll get to Disturbia's exact formula - suburban setting, unseen danger, and that horrible feeling that your safe space isn't safe at all.

One Hour Photo (2002)
Robin Williams in a role that'll make you never look at him the same way again. He's a photo lab worker who becomes obsessed with a family whose pictures he develops. It's Disturbia flipped - instead of the protagonist being the watcher, he's dealing with being watched.
The creep factor is off the charts, and it really makes you think about how much of our lives we put out there without realizing who might be paying attention.

Rear Window (1954)
I mean, this is basically the godfather of Disturbia. Hitchcock knew what he was doing when he trapped Jimmy Stewart in his apartment with nothing to do but watch his neighbors. When he starts suspecting one of them of murder, things get real fast.
If you haven't seen this yet and you loved Disturbia, you're doing yourself a disservice. This is where it all started, and it's still one of the best.

House at the End of the Street (2012)
A mom and daughter move next door to a house where a horrific double murder happened. They befriend the lone survivor, and... well, let's just say that maybe some neighbors are better left alone.
It's got everything Disturbia fans love - creepy neighbors, buried secrets, and that suburban setting that should feel safe but absolutely doesn't.

The Invisible Man (2020)
This Elisabeth Moss thriller is about not being able to see the danger that's right there with you. After escaping an abusive relationship, she starts experiencing things that make her think her supposedly dead ex is still controlling her life.
If Disturbia was about seeing too much, this is about what happens when you can't see what's threatening you. The paranoia is real, and the helplessness hits just as hard.

Don't Breathe (2016)
Three friends break into a blind man's house thinking it'll be easy money. But there begins the cat and mouse game. This keeps you on your edge of your seat till the end.
While it's definitely more intense and way darker than Disturbia, it's got that same trapped feeling and constantly shifting power dynamics. Plus, most of the action happens in one location, which really amps up the claustrophobic tension.
