AC C @Mon_Alisa Oct 10, 2026 The Lodger is a rare and groundbreaking film that feels like a privilege to watch. It’s Hitchcock’s “original” but has all the suspense and creative technique of any of his later films. At a time when the movie industry was largely a blank slate, The Lodger created an entire genre that is still influencing modern thrillers today.

This stranger is considered a suspect in a string of murders in the foggy side of London England. The detective in the case is dating the daughter of the landlady who rented the room and becomes suspicious of the stranger who was running the room and this is the story. The film again was a poor quality suspect it was made in 1927 the camera technology wasn’t that good and the lighting just wasn’t that good but All in all it was pretty good he’s 30 the year that it was made.

It is interesting to see the importance of wall-mounted pictures already a deliberate feature of the scenes in this movie.

Hitchcock's classic directorial and editing style is in full display in one of his first silent pictures. A suspenseful and entertaining watch!

Francis Thompson is now one of the latest and most interesting jack the ripper suspects and this authoress knew Thompson, knew he wandered whitechapel for years and continued to do so after his fame. Thompson was denied the last rites and his writings/diaries burned by his editor after his death, I can't help feeling everytime I watch this film I am watching a very eery connection to people who knew something I highly recommend getting to see this film, do your research see what you think?
