10/10
A masterpiece of Italian horror!
17 July 2003
Pupi Avati's "House with the Windows That Laugh" is certainly one of the best Italian horror movies ever made.Set in a small Italian village the film concerns an artist named Stefano(Lino Capolicchio)who has been commissioned to restore a fresco in a little church:the fresco portrays the suffering of Saint Sebastian,and is the last known work of mad painter Buono Legnani.Our protagonist quickly realises that there is a sinister and ominous atmosphere in the village."House with the Windows That Laugh" is a pretty slow-moving film which offers plenty of creepy atmosphere.The conclusion is so extremely surprising that it truly knocked me out of my seat.The acting is excellent and there is enough tension to keep horror fans intrigued.A masterpiece that easily gets 10 out of 10!
