With his third feature fiIm, The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, Alfred Hitchcock took a major step toward greatness and made what he would come to consider his true directoriaI debut. This haunting silent thrilIer teIls the tale of a mysterious young man (matinee idol lvor NovelIo) 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 styIist at pIay, decisively establishing the director s formaI and thematic obsessions. ln this edition, The Lodger is accompanied by DownhilI, another 1927 silent exploration of Hitchcock s wrong man trope, also headlined by NovelIo making for a double feature that reveals the great master of the macabre as he was just coming into his own.
