Case File 049: Disturbing Behavior

November 24, 2021 / Christopher Schrader

On this episode, we're heading to the idyllic town of Cradle Bay to investigate their mysterious Blue Ribbon program. Although its participants initially showed promising results, a few of them have recently been exhibiting some... Disturbing Behavior.

But the more sinister story here might be what happened to this film in post-production. The director delivered a psychological thriller in the vein of The X-Files, but the studio decided they wanted something more along the lines of Scream. As a result, numerous alterations were made and at the end of that process, the original 115 minute cut had been whittled down to an anemic 84 minute version.

So what's in that 30 minutes of additional footage? What was the thought process behind removing it? And how different would the critical and commercial response to Disturbing Behavior have been if they'd left it in?
