British label Shameless Entertainment is preparing 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Pupi Avati's The House with Laughing Windows (1976), starring Lino Capolicchio, Francesca Marciano, Gianni Cavina, Giulio Pizzirani, and Bob Tonelli. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on December 1.
Description: Director Pupi Avati's legendary cult horror masterpiece - a slow-burn nightmare of art, obsession, and madness – is finally presented in its definitive form as the filmmakers intended. Uncut, complete, and restored under the supervision of the then Assistant Director Cesare Bastelli, and with further grading enhancement appraised by Pupi Avati. This definitive release with new color grading -- for HDR & Dolby Vision grades -- made from the original camera negatives, also features an in-depth interview with Director Avati, as well as key cast and crew featurettes by genre specialist Federico Caddeo of Freakorama, plus a specially commissioned book by horror authority Kim Newman.
When art restorer Stefano (Lino Capolicchio, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis) is sent to a decaying church in rural Italy to restore a forgotten Saint Sebastian fresco, he finds himself caught in a disturbing mystery tied to the artist's gruesome death. What starts as routine work soon spirals into obsession and paranoia, as Stefano realises that some works of art were never meant to be revealed.
Wrapped in a misty, dreamlike atmosphere and driven by an ominous score, 'The House with Laughing Windows' stands apart from the more sensational side of Italian horror. Rather than relying on blood-soaked gore like typical horror slashers, Avati crafts a creeping nightmare, building terror through mood and psychological unease - until the film's shocking climax lands a jarring, unforgettable blow that lingers long after…
A haunting masterwork, 'The House with Laughing Windows' is one of Italian horror's most unsettling achievements. Now finally presented according to the original vision of the filmmakers.
