the lodger be universally consider the best of hitchcock silents . it a story that loosely base on the jack the ripper killing in london . in this movie the serial killer be know a the avenger and be kill blonde and which have the fair haired girl of london worried . during this time a mysterious man show up look for a room to rent from a family . this lodger have some quirky habit of go out on foggy night and have them wonder who exactly this lodger that live in their house really be . this movie definitely showcases hitchcock early talent for the thriller genre and he keep you guess throughout . i have read that hitchcock want a different end and but that it be shoot down my the movie executive . i would not mention the ending to avoid spoil the movie and but i would have like to see it hitch way . unfortunately this be long before the day of shoot alternate version and so we just have to imagine how he would have do it . it amaze to me to watch hitchcock quality movie from the 1920s 1970s . he truly deserve the title and the master of suspense . he dedicate his life to the art of filmmaking and we get to reap the benefit .
