Come Into My Parlour is a curious blend of crime and mystery, with a tone that’s both tense and darkly humorous. The story revolves around a barber, tangled in a web of mistaken beliefs after he thinks he’s murdered a burglar. The pacing fluctuates nicely, leading us through moments of panic and unexpected levity. The atmosphere is quite striking, enhanced by the practical effects that linger in your mind. Performances, particularly from the barber and the manicurist, draw you into their precarious situation, adding layers to what could have been a straightforward plot. It's these elements that make it stand out in the early '30s genre landscape—a film that feels a bit off-kilter yet engagingly so.
