Curiosità:

Dorian Newberry has a copy of "Slaughterhouse 5" by Kurt Vonnegut in his pocket. In Vonnegut's short story "Harrison Bergeron", the plot involves mind control in the form of head bands to obtain equality.

Errori:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Right after the altercation in the English classroom, we see a shot of the chalkboard, and the teacher has misspelled the word "tomorrow," using two "m"s instead of one.

Citazioni:

Steve Clark: Don't do this! Maybe they can be helped!
Dorian Newberry: No they can't. And neither can I.
[shows the gunshot wound to his stomach]

S10 Reviews: Disturbing Behavior (1998)

Steve and his sister are moved with to this sleepy little coastal island community after the suicide of his older parents. Soon it becomes apparent that the 'popular' click involving bake-sale throwing straight A'ers are actually programmed zombies and Steve is next in line. But when several 'incidents' threaten to destroy the program can Steve and his sister (with a few ragtag friends) get out of there with their own minds. 'Disturbing Behavior' is a solid 'Stepford Wives' like thriller directed by David Nutter who cut his teeth on episodes of 'The X-Files' and 'Millennium' does a good job with the material. The acting by the core (James Marsden, Katie Holmes and Nick Stahl) cast is very good, also keep and eye out for Bill Sadler and Steve Railsback in scene-chewing supporting rolls. Better than your average teen thriller / horror 'Disturbing Behavior' is also a solid retelling of 'The Stepford Wives'.
