The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog

A silent film with live musical accompaniment from Minima Music.

Set in a foggy and unsettled London with a serial killer on the loose, this is Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece of atmospheric thriller filmmaking, containing many of his subsequent trademark themes, including his first recognisable film cameo.

Made for Michael Balcon’s new Gainsborough studios, The Lodger was Hitchcock’s first thriller, and his first critical and commercial success, quickly establishing him as a name director. The film was described in glowing terms by trade journal Bioscope: “It is possible that this film is the finest British production ever made.”
