Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but since I'm a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock, I was really eager to check it out. So far, it is his oldest movie I have seen. At first, I was rather worried since the copy looked awful and the beginning was pretty shabby. However, even though it is indeed very old (almost 80 years old!), it was actually quite watchable.

(OK) There´s already style (even there's a sort of effectism that¿ll be better justified in next films), themes, suspense, and a Hitchcockian victimized blonde. A mature Hitch as early as 1926.

A nod to the Jack the Ripper murders that terrorized London in 1888, Hitchcock's suspenseful silent feature stars Ivor Novello as an eccentric young man who checks into a boarding house just as a serial killer has claimed his sixth victim.

Release date: 14 February 1927

"19.6. Suorastaan hämmästyttää huomata, miten paljon Hitchcock on kierrättänyt vuosien varrella ideoita tästä leffasta. Löysin ainakin tusinan verran erilaisia lainauksia myöhemmistä."
