Anecdotes
The house used as the laughing windows one was located in a small village called Malalbergo, close to Bologna. Already at the time of filming the house was crumbling so it was demolished not longer after filming had wrapped. However, for years people believed it still stood and often went looking for it.

Gaffes
When Stefano leaves Copppola, mid-conversation, to check on Francesca, when he finds her sleeping, he returns momentarily to find Coppola gone without warning or trace. He then goes outside to look for him, and hears the front gate slam, assuming most likely that Coppola had left without saying good-bye. End of scene. Next time Coppola appears, he offers no explanation or apology and Stefano doesn't bring it up.

8/10

Stick with it until the end.

"The House With Laughing Windows" is a very European film. Unlike the gialli of, say, Argento, this film is not 'Americanized' at all. It reminds me more of films like "Don't Torture a Duckling" in that it takes place out in a small town in the Italian countryside. It adds to the ambiance and I really like that.

The plot is very slow-moving. I'm not even sure if I'd call this film a giallo, but reading other reviews on here, it seems that it is in fact classified as such. It was hard for me to watch this for the first hour or so. I was wondering when it was going to pick up. Not many people get killed. But, I stuck with it and I recommend doing so. If you can stick with it, the ending is freakin' awesome. I was shocked by it; it really delivers. And it gets nice and bloody too. I had no idea who the killer was, and by the time I found out, my head was spinning from the progression of the final few scenes. It ends abruptly and it feels great. It more than made up for the sluggishness of the first 2/3 of the film. It's not unlike many of the newer Asian films in that regard: it moves very slow but the last few minutes are like a twisting train wreck.

In short, I recommend this film to those of you who have patience and enjoy Italian horror.

8 out of 10, kids.
