4k Restoration (2023) | Art restorer Stefano (Lino Capolicchio, The Bloodstained Shadow) arrives at an isolated Italian village to repair a fresco depicting the agonizing martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The original painter was a death artist – a madman so obsessed with mortality that, according to whispered rumors, he tortured his models in their final moments of life. When people begin to turn up dead,
Stefano is forced to consider the possibility that the artist has returned to continue his brutal career – and that he is the primary target. The House with Laughing Windows offers a uniquely eerie twist on the genre — erring less towards exploitation than to art — but culminating in an unforgettable ending that will remain with you long after the credits have rolled.
Original title: La casa dalle finestre che ridono
