The Lodger (2009)
description written by member Zara:
Grizzled detective Chandler Manning is on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger called Malcolm Slaight rents a guesthouse from Joe (Donal Logue) and Ellen Bunting, a married couple struggling to preserve their fragile union after their plans to start a family have ended in tragedy. Manning, shunned both by his daughter Amanda and his suicidal wife Margaret as a result of his single-minded dedication to police work, teams up with unlikely rookie partner Street Wilkenson, only to make a startling discovery. It appears that the murderer's grisly methods are identical to that of London's infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper - a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, Manning soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer Manning incarcerated years ago.

Anyhow, the best part of...
