http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakeview_TerraceI remember seeing the trailers for this movie back in 2008 but I wasn't too interested in seeing it.
Today, I saw the documentary of the real life event that inspired the movie, it's absolutely chilling.
Imagine that a cop moves into your neighborhood and it turns out that he's a racist sociopath. That's exactly what happened to the residents of this area. They lived in constant fear for years before they were able to get him fired from the police department and get a judge to throw the book at him.
Here's a list of things that the real cop, Irsie Henry, did to his neighbors.
