Disturbing Behavior is a sci-fi horror movie that was released in 1998. It stars James Marsden, Katie Holmes, and Nick Stahl. The film focuses on a group of high school students from a small town called Cradle Bay. The town seems peaceful and perfect, but there's something strange going on behind the scenes. At the beginning of the movie, we meet Steve Clark (James Marsden), a new student at Cradle Bay High School. Steve has just moved into the town with his family, and he's immediately intrigued by the students at the school. They all seem to be well-behaved and perfect, almost too perfect.

Steve makes friends with two other students, Rachel (Katie Holmes) and Gavin (Nick Stahl), who are also suspicious of the perfect students. As they investigate, they start to uncover a disturbing truth about their classmates. The students have been brainwashed by a secret government program called "The Blue Ribbon Project" that aims to create a perfect society.

The program uses a procedure called "behavior modification" to turn rebellious students into model citizens. The transformed students become obedient, emotionless, and highly intelligent individuals who excel in school and never get into trouble. However, they also lose their individuality, creativity, and freedom of choice.

Steve, Rachel, and Gavin decide to take down the Blue Ribbon Project and free their friends from the brainwashing. But they soon discover that the program's creators will do anything to protect their project, including murder.

The movie has a lot of suspense, mystery, and horror elements that keep the audience on the edge of their seats. It also tackles some thought-provoking themes such as conformity, individuality, and the dangers of technology. The film's director, David Nutter, does an excellent job of creating a tense and eerie atmosphere that reflects the sinister nature of the Blue Ribbon Project.

The performances by the lead actors are also noteworthy. James Marsden delivers a convincing portrayal of the curious and determined Steve, while Katie Holmes shines as the rebellious and defiant Rachel. Nick Stahl gives a haunting performance as the troubled Gavin, who's struggling to resist the brainwashing.

Overall, Disturbing Behavior is a thrilling and thought-provoking sci-fi horror movie that's worth watching if you're a fan of the genre. The film's message is still relevant today, as we continue to grapple with issues such as conformity, individuality, and the impact of technology on our lives. The movie is a reminder that we should always question authority and protect our freedom of choice.

Disturbing Behavior is a 1998 mystery with a runtime of 1 hour and 24 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.6.
