Obscure Masterpiece
Pupi Avati’s “La Casa Dalle Finestre Che Ridono” aka “The House With Laughing Windows” of 1976 is a unique and highly obscure masterpiece that no lover of Horror could possibly consider missing. While this is a quite atypical example for Giallo, it is doubtlessly one of the most original films this great sub-genre has ever brought forth. There is no black-gloved killer butchering dozens of beauty-queens in this film, and, compared to other Gialli, the story is very slow-paced. The complex storyline and incredibly obscure atmosphere of this film, however, are simply incomparable. This film is an absolutely brilliant rarity. It is not very easy to find, but looking for this unique and immensely creepy gem of Italian Horror cinema is more than rewarding.

Terriffically set in a rural small-town in northern Italy, “The House With Laughing Windows”, holds a uniquely surreal eeriness from the first minute, and even though the story develops quite slowly, the tension develops constantly, and the immense creepiness is slowly increased to an overwhelming level. Restorer Stefano (Lino Capolicchio) comes to the rural Italian village to work on a fresco of the execution of Saint Sebastiano in an old, ill-conditioned church (This fresco alone is capable of giving you the creeps). The fresco was painted by a local artist, who was known for only painting people dying or in agony… The film’s obscure, insane and incredibly convoluted storyline alone makes this one of the most compelling films of the Giallo- genre, and the film has lots of other ingenious elements. The atmosphere is unique and unspeakably creepy, the characters are very complex and their development is just ingenious. The performances are entirely great. Lino Capolicchio is superb in the lead. Francesca Marciano is a stunning beauty and she is great in her role here, I wonder why she only starred in so few movies. All of the performances are great, those of Eugene Walter and Gianni Cavina, who plays the town drunk, are especially praiseworthy. The rural setting is perfect. While the the genre is generally very urban, some of the greatest Giallo- masterpieces are set in rural areas. Particularly brilliant examples for this are Sergio Martino’s “Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have A Key”, Lucio Fulci’s “Don’t Torture A Duckling”, and this wonderful film. “The House With Laughing Windows” is a hypnotic film, both mesmerizing and horrifying. As far as I am considered, this film alone makes Pupi Avati a genius. Anybody even remotely interested in Italian Horror cinema has to see this masterpiece! The morbid and extremely unsettling opening sequence alone is creepier than most films get at their climax, and there is a lot more to come!
