You should watch The Lodger (1944)

The Lodger is a parallel story, or is it, to Jack the Ripper about a man with an assumed name moving into a room in a house owned by a husband and wife and their adult actress daughter. It's moody, creepy, and evocative with  camerawork that puts you in the heart of the action and great sound design that reminds me of Italian giallo movies from the 70's. It's also somehow a musical and fans of Disney animation from the 60's will be happy with the casting choice of one of the leads.
