The Lodger
Everyone is suspect.
Directed by David Ondaatje
Produced by Merchant Pacific Corporation
A dark, paranoia-soaked serial killer thriller that weaves historical echoes of Jack the Ripper into a contemporary West Hollywood murder investigation, built on procedural tension and the question of whether justice has already failed.
Follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. 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, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?
