Disturbing Behavior is a 1998 sci-fi Thriller directed by X-Files veteran David Nutter that can best be described as The Stepford Wives for the Scream generation. The film follows Steve (James Marsden), a High School senior who has just moved to the town of Cradle Bay, Washington with his family. Here, he befriends three outcasts -- stoners Gavin (Nick Stahl) and UV, and "bad girl" Rachel (Katie Holmes). Gavin has long been suspicious about the "Blue Ribbons," a group of preppy, highly intelligent, snobbish douchebags who are considered the school's "cream of the crop" and take part in a program led by the school's psychologist Dr. Caldicott. The four students find out that the Blue Ribbons are far more sinister than they let up on, and may in fact be Brainwashed... and that they are next.

| - Disturbing Behavior is a 1998 sci-fi Thriller directed by X-Files veteran David Nutter that can best be described as The Stepford Wives for the Scream generation. The film follows Steve (James Marsden), a High School senior who has just moved to the town of Cradle Bay, Washington with his family. Here, he befriends three outcasts -- stoners Gavin (Nick Stahl) and UV, and "bad girl" Rachel (Katie Holmes). Gavin has long been suspicious about the "Blue Ribbons," a group of preppy, highly intelligent, snobbish douchebags who are considered the school's "cream of the crop" and take part in a program led by the school's psychologist Dr. Caldicott. The four students find out that the Blue Ribbons are far more sinister than they let up on, and may in fact be Brainwashed... and that they are next. The film was practically shredded in the editing room, having ten scenes cut (adding up to nearly twenty minutes -- the final cut is just 84 minutes long) and a different ending put in by the studio over the objections of David Nutter. Among the scenes cut include numerous story and Character Development scenes whose absence the film greatly suffers for, which perhaps explains the film's tepid reception by critics and at the box office. The Sci Fi Channel's edited-for-TV version of the movie often reinstates the deleted scenes (making it something of an unofficial director's cut), but leaves the theatrical ending.
