The House with Laughing Windows
Why this pick
A rural Italian nightmare built from isolation, decaying spaces and mounting uncertainty; its patient unease similarly leaves reality feeling unstable.

Why this pick
Like A Quiet Place in the Country, it follows an artist’s retreat into beautiful seclusion as perception fractures, using subjective images rather than easy explanations.

The Tenant

04
The Perfume of the Lady in Black
Why this pick
A stylish Italian giallo-tinged mind-bender where trauma, ritualistic menace and domestic spaces blur into an increasingly feverish experience.
05
Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Why this pick
A fragile woman’s move to an isolated country house becomes hushed, uncanny horror, with nature and solitude intensifying uncertainty instead of providing refuge.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A young artist escapes from the stress of the big city and rents a house in a secluded wooded area. Strange things happen in the house that begin to drive him mad. As in the novella on which the story is based (''The Beckoning Fair One'' by George Oliver Onions according to the film's credits), the viewer is left to decide whether the solitude affected the man's mind, or if he was the victim of a possessive spirit or ghost said to inhabit the house.
