"The Lodger" from 1927 is a silent film directed by a young Alfred Hitchcock, and is possibly the best of the silent films I have seen. Not only does it not look anywhere near as old as it is, but it actually holds up overall well with the test of time, and is still interesting and intense with its share of twists, turns, and eye opening scenes. Even with the lodger believed to be a serial killer roaming the streets of London after dark, and knowing Hitchcock, the killer would normally turn out to be somebody else, the lodger's backstory still turns out to be a surprise, along with the ending to be hard to see coming, not to get into detail to avoid spoilers. It also has great drama, dialogue, and lively well developed characters. Those into Hitchcock should not be disappointed with this one.
