The House of the Laughing Windows

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)

Pupi Avati directed a film that has a good atmosphere and is able to keep you tense throughout. "The House with Laughing Windows" is a film that has a somewhat slow pace, weak progression, but it is not necessarily to the detriment of the story. The plot is quite interesting enough to deserve your attention. Additionally, something strange is constantly happening, which occasionally catches you off guard. The peculiar characters only contribute to the overall impression, where you simply don't know what to expect. It is a more restrained, but definitely not a bad giallo. (10/18/2014)
