Having just moved to a new town, widow Elaine Freedman and her teenage daughter Justine are greeted by the effusive, terribly nice Dr. Calvin Lawrence. Sensing that Justine is bit testy and out of sorts, Dr. Lawrence recommends that she begin taking a special vitamin which he manufactures in his own home. Before long, Justine is the model of perfection -- just like all the other teenagers in town.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Perfect Little Angels was a novel by Andrew Neiderman published in 1991. Way before Disturbing Behavior came out. The bestselling author of Playmates and Surrogate Child creates another masterpiece of horror. The teenagers of Elysian Fields are perfect. They don't drink or smoke, and they are always polite to their elders. The new girl in town hasn't learned to behave--but she will, for there are so many horribly effective ways to turn disobedient children into Perfect Angels.Not a bad book, definitely more young adult but the movie follows it pretty well.Disturbing Behavior is the rip off. Great Soundtrack though!!!All in all, each movie does what it can.

The movie (Perfect Little Angels) was made in 1998, I've seen it in the mid 2000's, and I liked the movie, I found it somewhat a freaky suspense movie. From the moment that freaky doctor gave the lady three bottles of his home-made vitamins as housewarming gift, I knew there's something weird with him and his vitamins. That freaky doctor was using the people in that small upscale community for his own lab testing project through some radio frequency by giving them his weird home-made vitamins (through injection or pill), it's quite freaky. The young guy who played Mitch in this movie was great, his acting was great, this was the first movie I've seen him in. It's a good movie!

Aha... at last a movie worth watching. When seeing "Disturbing Behaviour" only small part are interesting. The ending is not that excellent and the story is too exaggerate.After seeing this one, i can say this story has been make perfectly, very well and imaginative and have a good beginning and ending. The common sense is good as well.Only small item that is lacks in this movie is the effect of the drug who is not clear when and how often they comes into effect, other than that, it is all allright.

Although standard MOW foder, "Perfect Little Angels" is actually not a bad little suspense thriller once you get into it. Some great looking young Canadian actors (especially Brendan Fehr as "Mitch", who acts as good as he looks), and a solid performance from TV staple Cheryl Ladd make this "Disturbing Behaviour" rip-off watchable. The story revolves around mind control in the tightly knit, upscale suburban community Elesium Meadows, where every home is perfect, every mother is June Clever and every teenager is Ken or Barbie. Enter new comer Justine (Jody Thompson, who's performance is, at best, uneven), and her mom (Cheryl Ladd), a recently fatherless family looking for a new start. Justine is immediately approached by the Elesium Meadows gang, led by Brad (Jade Pawluk, a perfect, plastic doll). This group of Gap clad teens are perfect to the point of nausea and begin stalking Justine in order to make her perfect as well. Justine also befriends Mitch (the afore-mentioned Fehr), an outsider who hates the Elesium kids and does his best to keep Justine from them. Oh yes, there's also a mad scientist, Dr. Lawrence (once classy actor Michael York, who phones in his performance here), who feeds everyone vitamins that are also mind control devices that somehow link up to a radio tower in his back yard. Actually, when writing this out, it all seems pretty silly, but it actually works on the small screen as Justine and Mitch rush to defeat the evil doctor and his plans for neighbourhood domination. Once again have to mention the stand our performance of newcomer Brendan Fehr. Very good looking, his every move on screen is a pleasure to watch. This kid has star written all over him. Tim Bonds direction is OK, and the technical aspects of the film are pedestrian. 6 out of 10, but only because of Fehr.
