[Machine Translation] The walls are painted with bright red lips - the house is called "the house with the smiling window" and is feared and dreaded.... One of the most extraordinary Italian horror films, haunted by madness and paranoia, is now packaged for the first time! When it was first released in Italy, it did not attract much attention and was not shown in Japan. It was selected by the British Film Institute (BFI) as one of the "10 Best Italian Gothic Horror Films" in 2013. In July 2025, the restored version premiered at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, and was "discovered" by many fans and critics. The film stars Lino Caporicchio, the famous actor of "Sadness in Youth" (1970). Francesca Marciano, who became a screenwriter after appearing in this film and wrote the screenplay for the recent "See You at Cinecitta" (2023), is the director. The director is Italian master Pupi Avati. She is known for her literary works such as "The Landscape I Saw Someday" (1989) and "Dusk in Bologna" (2008), but she has also produced various works in the suspense and horror genres. In this film, he quietly builds up psychological horror while mixing surrealistic and avant-garde imagery that stirs a sense of anxiety and frustration, pulling the viewer into an abyss of madness and delusion. A series of murders in the picturesque countryside... A series of events filled with madness, decadence, and evil are revealed one after another, and the last four minutes, when the tragedy reaches its climax, are a shock beyond imagination, luring all viewers to despair. The film takes place in a rural town in Northern Italy. Stefano, a restorer, comes to restore a fresco in a church. The macabre painting, a replica of "The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian," was painted by Buono Regnani, who was known as "the painter of deathbeds" and died madly 20 years ago. Stefano's friend Antonio secretly investigates the relationship between Regnani and the frescoes, which are forbidden in the town, but someone murders him. The key to solving the mystery lies in a house with a smiling window, which Antonio mentioned before his death. Special features include "25 Years of Cult Films": a documentary interview made in 2002 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film's production, an interview with director Pupi Avati (recorded in 2012), a lobby card gallery (video format), and a trailer (original Italian/Japanese version).
