The Lodger (2009) 8/10

Starring : Alfred Molina, Hope Davis, Shane West, Donal Logue, Simon Baker
Director : David Ondaatje
Running Time : 96 mins

Chandler Manning (Molina) discovers that a serial killer that he got put away and executed may not have been responsible for the killings when similar killings start happening after his death. With the pattern now making the police believe that the killer was inspired by Jack The Ripper, he 's led to the home of Ellen Bunting (Davis), a schizophrenic that has just taken on a mysterious lodger.

Although this had little or no budget, this was a pretty good thriller that has the viewer guessing who the killer is right up until the final scene, and even then it isn't one hundred percent clear. There's some good choices in direction and although the performances aren't fantastic this is still a good watch.
