A serial killer called The Avenger is killing blonde women under the cover of the London Fog. A jealous police officer suspects his girlfriend’s parent’s new lodger, played by matinee idol Ivor Novello, of the crimes. The director himself called this “the first true Hitchcock movie.” Indeed, with its ambiguous, shadowy main character, women in peril, unjust accusations, and delicious tension, THE LODGER bares the DNA of not only later Hitchcock films, but of the entire genre of thriller.

The Score
THE LODGER will receive treatment from The Ghosts Collective, featuring renowned songwriter Simon Joyner, Michael Krassner (Boxhead Ensemble), Megan Siebe (The Ghosts, Anniversaire), Mike Friedman (The Ghosts, The Lupines), and Kevin Donahue (The Ghosts, The Prairies). Ghostly music for an otherworldly film!
