Watch The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog for free

London. A mysterious serial killer brutally murders young blond women by stalking them in the night fog. One foggy, sinister night, a young man who claims his name is Jonathan Drew arrives at the guest house run by the Bunting family and rents a room. Released in 1927, this silent film is one of Hitchcock's earliest and most significant works, often considered his first "true" Hitchcock film since it introduces themes he would revisit throughout his career, such as the "wrong man" storyline, suspenseful atmosphere, and the psychological complexity of characters. Notable for its striking cinematography and innovative techniques for the time, the film also features no synchronized dialogue, relying on intertitles, expressive performances, and a moody visual style to tell the story.
