《房客》是由阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克导演的英国惊悚电影，Marie Ault、Arthur Chesney等参与演出，于1927年上映。

该片根据Marie Belloc Lowndes的同名小说改编，讲述了一个小旅店的老板娘在那段时间里发现自己的神秘房客可能就是“开膛手杰克”因而提心吊胆的故事。

影片根据Marie Belloc Lowndes的同名小说改编，这部小说以1888年伦敦“开膛手杰克” （Jack the Ripper）的真实历史案件为基础。

一位新房客（艾佛·诺维洛饰）被房东太太（玛丽·奥尔特饰）和她丈夫（阿瑟·切斯尼饰）怀疑有可能是恶名昭著的“连环杀手”，但他们当时装模特的女儿黛西·邦廷（琼·特里普饰）却被他深深吸引。黛西的男友警探乔·贝茨（马尔科姆·基恩饰）产生了嫉妒，于是在房东太太的教唆下获得了搜查令闯入了他的房间。然后警察找到了一把手枪和一张标明以往杀人地点的地图，以及一张第一个受害人的照片。房客辩称那个女孩是她的妹妹，他只是在寻找杀人凶手，可是警察还是逮捕了他。在黛西的帮助下，他逃了出来，但因为戴着脚镣手铐在酒吧被人发现，于是，他被逼入了墙角。

本片有一个难忘的镜头被阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克称为是在默片时代替声音的拍法，就是镜头里出现“房客戴着手套的右手在楼梯扶手上慢慢下滑。

助理导演艾玛·雷维尔在拍摄完这部《房客》之后，成为希区柯克的妻子。

英文版本：

Alfred Hitchcock wanted an ambiguous ending to the 电影,but the studio wouldn't allow it to be implied that the lodger might actually be the murderer.

The movie is based on the book of the same name. It was the first book to offer a solution to the Jack The Ripper killings. The book is supposedly based on an anecdote told to the painter Walter Sickert by the landlady when renting a room; she said that the previous tenant had been Jack the Ripper.

Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] a desk in the newsroom early in the 电影 Some people claim he also appears later in the crowd lynch scene.

Hitchcock told François Truffaut that,though he had made two films prior to this,he considered this his first true film.

Debut of Reginald Gardiner.

This is the earliest 电影 directed by Alfred Hitchcock that survives today in its entirety.

瑕 Goofs

Continuity:After "the lodger" escapes handcuffed,Daisy met him sitting on a bank in the street. Then she sits down side by side with him. After that he puts his head on her right shoulder,with his face touching her face. Between shots she appears alone with nobody on her shoulder.

Continuity:In one of the heralded shots of the 电影,Daisy and her parents look at the ceiling to see the chandelier shaking. We then see "through" the ceiling to a shot of the Lodger's feet pacing back and Forth This was a unique way to imply the sound of footsteps in a silent film. However,looking at the layout of the house,the room the family is in is NOT beneath the room in which the Lodger is pacing.

对白 Quotes

[first lines] Female eyewitness:Tall he was - and his face all wrapped up.

[last lines] The Landlady:Your toothbrush - you left it behind.

Joe Betts:Does this lodger of yours mean any harm to Daisy? The Landlady:Don't be silly,Joe. He's not that sort. Joe Betts:Even if he's a bit queer,he's a Gentleman
