Explore the formative years of one of cinema’s most influential directors with this 11-film Alfred Hitchcock Early Years Collector DVD Collection.
Long before Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window, and North by Northwest, Alfred Hitchcock was developing the suspense techniques, visual storytelling, psychological tension, dark humor, and unforgettable characters that would eventually earn him the title “Master of Suspense.”
This collection travels back to Hitchcock's fascinating British period and brings together eleven films made between 1925 and 1930, including silent dramas, thrillers, romantic comedies, and some of his earliest experiments with synchronized sound.
Among the highlights are the landmark thriller The Lodger, the groundbreaking Blackmail, and the chilling early mystery Murder!
Hitchcock's first completed feature as director follows two chorus girls whose friendship, romances, and ambitions take dramatically different paths. An intriguing glimpse at the young filmmaker before suspense became his trademark.
Starring Ivor Novello
A mysterious young man rents a room from a London family while a serial killer known as “The Avenger” terrorizes the city. Suspicion soon falls upon the strange new lodger.
One of Hitchcock's first great suspense films and an unmistakable preview of the themes that would dominate his career.
Starring Ivor Novello
A privileged young student accepts responsibility for another man's wrongdoing and is expelled from school. His life begins a dramatic downward spiral through betrayal, humiliation, and isolation.
Two boxers become rivals both inside and outside the ring when they compete for the affection of the same woman.
Hitchcock combines romance, jealousy, striking visual compositions, and boxing drama in one of his most visually inventive silent pictures.
Based on the play by Noël Coward, the story follows a divorced woman attempting to escape scandal and begin a new life, only to discover that society is unwilling to forget her past.
A widowed farmer decides that it is time to marry again and sets about choosing a suitable wife—while overlooking the woman who may have been right for him all along.
One of Hitchcock's lighter silent-era films.
A wealthy young woman discovers that her luxurious lifestyle may be coming to an end after her father tells her that the family fortune has disappeared.
Romance, comedy, deception, and Hitchcock's increasingly imaginative camera work combine in this rarely seen silent feature.
Two lifelong friends fall in love with the same woman on the Isle of Man, leading to a powerful story of friendship, secrecy, jealousy, and betrayal.
Hitchcock's final completely silent feature.
Starring Anny Ondra
After a young woman kills a man while defending herself, a witness attempts to blackmail her and her detective boyfriend.
An enormously important Hitchcock production and one of the films that helped establish the future Master of Suspense.
Adapted from the celebrated play by Seán O'Casey, this drama follows an impoverished Dublin family that believes an unexpected inheritance will transform their lives.
Starring Herbert Marshall
A juror begins to doubt the guilt of a woman convicted of murder and launches his own investigation to uncover the truth.
An early Hitchcock murder mystery filled with psychological suspense, theatrical intrigue, and filmmaking techniques that anticipate his later classics.

Cast varies by film.
This collection captures a remarkable period in Alfred Hitchcock's development.
The Lodger is frequently regarded as the first film to fully display the visual and thematic characteristics audiences would later associate with Hitchcock.
The picture also contains one of Hitchcock's earliest screen appearances, beginning the famous cameo tradition that continued throughout his career.
The Ring is particularly interesting because Hitchcock received an original screen-story credit rather than adapting another writer's established work.
The Manxman marked the end of Hitchcock's silent filmmaking period.
Blackmail became one of Britain's pioneering sound productions. Hitchcock used sound not simply as a novelty but as a psychological storytelling device.
Murder! demonstrates Hitchcock's growing fascination with wrongful accusation, murder investigations, psychological tension, and characters forced to uncover hidden truths—all recurring themes throughout his later career.
Watching these eleven films chronologically provides a fascinating opportunity to see the filmmaking vocabulary of Alfred Hitchcock develop almost picture by picture.
