The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog

The Lodger is a silent sexual psychodrama set in a foggy, gloomy London terrorized by a killer loosely modeled on Jack the Ripper. As blonde women are murdered around the city, a sinister gentleman takes up lodgings at the house of an elderly couple and is soon showing an interest in their pretty blonde daughter. To thicken the plot, she's engaged to a policeman hot on the trail of "The Avenger" who thinks her Lodger lover is the serial killer! A real sense of menace pervades the story and the visual inventiveness makes the film a real treat.
