Summary

This haunting silent thriller tells the tale of a mysterious young man who takes up residence at a London boardinghouse, just as a killer who preys on blonde women, known as the Avenger, descends upon the city. The film is animated by the palpable energy of a young stylist at play, decisively establishing the director's formal and thematic obsessions. The Lodger is accompanied by Downhill, another silent film from 1927 that explores Hitchcock's 'wrong man' trope
