The House of the Laughing Windows

Pupi Avati directed a film that has a good atmosphere and can keep you tense the entire time. The House of the Laughing Window is a film that has a rather slow pace and weak progression, but it's not necessarily detrimental to the overall experience. The story is quite interesting and deserves your attention. Moreover, there are constantly strange things happening that might catch you off guard. The peculiar characters only add to the overall impression that you simply don't know where you stand. It’s more restrained but definitely not a bad giallo. (10/18/2014)

If I add all the good bits: about three scary scenes, a decent script, the atmosphere of a remote Italian village, and a fairly effective (though quite predictable) twist, my rating still won’t go further than those strong three stars. The middle part of the film, at least, is simply boring. The House with Laughing Windows  is slightly above par, for sure, but the odes as a wonder, if not the best Eurohorror film feel like something from an alternative world that never saw Phenomena, The House That Screamed or Who Can Kill a Child? 7/10 (03/06/2009)
