If you loved North by Northwest, try The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog has roughly 13.6× fewer votes than North by Northwest — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and they sit in Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to North by Northwest, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog is

London fog. A scream. The Buntings' new lodger arrives as blonde women turn up murdered. Their daughter, a model, attracts his unsettling gaze. Hitchcock's silent thriller anticipates the director's later, more famous, suspense structures.
