Rating: 4/5 -- A truly creepy cast adds to the suspense. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Even with its obvious debt to German Expressionism, The Lodger has Hitchcock hallmarks. It's the master's first film to suggest a certain kind of fun and games as well as thrills. Full Review
London Evening Standard

Hitchcock began as a title designer and an art director before graduating to the director's chair and he draws on those talents, as well as his lessons from the German film studios where expressionism was the rage, for this film. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- This restoration of Hitchcock's 1926 silent melodrama offers a gripping prehistory not just of his own work, but the Hollywood thriller itself. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- THE LODGER sees the director drawing on German expressionism to conjure up his own brand of 'pure cinema'.

Product Description:

One of Alfred Hitchcock's moodiest and most brilliant silent films, THE LODGER explores many themes that would reappear obsessively in Hitchcock's later works, including his delight in the ghoulish, the "man-accused-of-a-crime-he-did-not-commit" theme, and his understanding of the general public's thirst for sex and violence. A family suspects their mysterious lodger is a serial killer with a penchant for blonde girls--and that their daughter might be his next victim. Hitchcock once again focused on a modern-day Jack the Ripper in FRENZY (1972).
