Scott M @RT75128960 Sep 7, 2026 A body snatchers story, which has been done before but not as good. Cliques in high school are used as tools to tell the story. Very well done. One of my favorite films. See more

Jason T. @SlasherFan82 Mar 11, 2026 I feel as if this is a very underrated 90’s film. It went under my radar for years but it’s got a great cast and an interesting storyline🍿 See more

Jacob B @RT89309114 Nov 8, 2025 Disturbing, as the Europeans spell it, BehavioUr, is honestly not that bad. The deleted scenes certainly enhance the narrative, meaning that I can understand why the final film's shortcomings might stand out more, but given all the drama surrounding this film, I was expecting something more incoherent in the theatrical cut. To think that this film's director was seriously considering going by the Alan Smithee pseudonym before deciding against it so as not to come off as throwing his cast and crew under the bus. I will admit there are a few moments that definitely require the context of the deleted scenes to understand the reasons for some of the plot progression and the alternate ending is arguably a more fitting climax than the awkward final battle in the finished film. I will also admit that the deleted scenes aren't completely flawless given how quickly our two leads find themselves in a sex scene that clearly DEMANDED to be in director David Nutter's sabotaged masterpiece. And yet, I still enjoyed this X-Files-influenced film. Convincing performances from its young cast, an intriguing story, a moody atmosphere, admirable attempts at approaching thought-provoking themes about individuality versus conformity, I liked the janitor/exterminator character and a memorable score from Mark Snow. When I heard the opening theme, it reminded me, in a good way, of the themes of The X-Files and Millennium and, wouldn’t you know it? "Music by Mark Snow". Honestly, for something that MGM wanted to appeal to the Scream crowd, the X-Files-ian structure is still prominent in the finished film. So X-Philes might still enjoy it, even without the deleted scenes. Seriously, the prologue is not too dissimilar to the cold opens from that show, there are a few scenes that wouldn't be out of place there as the last scene before cutting to a commercial break and, while one ending is far superior over the other, the theatrical ending does have the same type of conclusion that show's MOTW episodes tended to have from time to time. Note that the director directed his fair share of X-Files episodes, so that could provide a rational explanation for why this film is like that. Hell, this is a better feature-length MOTW episode than the official feature-length MOTW episode that was the 2008 film I Want to Believe. Of course, it helps that this doesn't have a whole nine seasons & a movie's worth of continuity, with an increasingly convoluted mythology. Although, even on its own merits, the 2008 film, while a passable character study for Mulder and Scully, had the issue of having the MOTW in question not come off as interesting enough to warrant a whole feature film. Even when the show was still on the air, some were unsure if an episode about Mulder in a Freaky Friday situation really needed to be a two-parter, to the point that it remains the ONLY MOTW episode to be split in two. Maybe David Nutter just had better ideas for what type of MOTW adventures would work better in a feature-length format than in a 45-minute-long episode. And that’s how I feel about Disturbing Behaviour; an underrated '90s horror film that isn't flawless, even if you're watching a made-for-TV edit that has the deleted scenes reinstated, but might offer a good fix for any X-Philes you might know.

Mateo O @RT20242301 Aug 26, 2025 NOT BAD AT ALL. Underrated moody gem that was such a great 90s teen affair. See more

thiago s @Thiagostone May 27, 2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, a história do filme se parece um pouco com o filme prova final (the faculty), mas de resto, mais do mesmo.
