Stage 6's 'The Lodger' Hitting New York & Los Angeles Theaters

Surprise, surprise! On January 23, Stage 6 Films will release writer/director David Ondaatje’s The Lodger (trailer) in New York and Los Angeles before hiting DVD on February 10th. The modern-day Jack the Ripper tale about a Los Angeles detective who hunts down a violent serial killer stars Alfred Molina, Hope Davis, Simon Baker, Shane West, and Rachael Leigh Cook. Read on for a long synopsis.

In the adaptation of the book on which Alfred Hitchcock's silent classic is also based, the film 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?

Hey, I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this movie. I heard it was a remake of an old Hitchcock film so that always makes me curious. So I got to see a preview through a friend and was pretty impressed. My buddy who got me into a screening said it was not like a lot of films, but he thought I'd enjoy it, and he was right. It's not your usual horror film that's out these days, all gore and blood and screaming large breasts. I have to admit I enjoyed it, as a thriller it was good and was back to some school horror, which I dug. I liked the look of it a lot. Done by the same DP that does the Saw movies. The cast was good for this kind of movie. Hope Davis is creepy in it and Simon, The Mentalist, Baker makes you glad you don't have a room to rent. I don't want to give away much, because the surprises are worth it. Go check it out if you're bored with the Oscar over-acting crap that's currently out there. It's worth your few bucks. I hear it's not going to be in a lot of theaters but find it if you can
