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.

(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.

View all The Lodger reviews

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."
