This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
强奸无论情节严重，一律死刑！这还分轻罪重罪吗？
在印度社会而言，还是很具有社会意义。前半部分略显拖沓，冲突升级地很慢，后半部分渐入佳境，至少悬念氛围都比误杀2做得好。女性生命之痛，在结尾与司机的对峙中强烈表现出来。合格的商业片。
立意很好，羡慕印度还允许这样的电影被拍出来，但是从电影本身来说剧情结构和节奏还是有比较大的问题的
影片中的女主用她的方式向印度呐喊
我们有什么资格鄙视印度呢 至少他们的电影可以直视这个国家的阴暗 而我们却把扼杀在某个地窖里
形式太强，故事要是细想是有漏洞的，最后那个小反转和结尾的字幕真是有点惊到了。
6.5分。又是这种立意很好，但完成度不足的片子。着眼女性权力是好事，但用孩子做人质的那一刻，其实她所有的诉求都已经没有意义了。还玩什么总理当面交谈之类的鬼话，整个后半段几乎完全不知所云。不是你出发点好，你所作的所有事情都能被接受的，感觉就从没人真关心过这点。
私心想给五星，但电影也有不完美。留下一星给未来无限可能的她们。
有点「荒蛮故事」的爽感，也有「日本之耻」的效用，更多个伊藤诗织和亚米站出来，这个世界终会少些邪恶。
2.5。重点在最后两段“演讲”上，以至于前一个半小时几乎毫无进展。陈思诚：我要买来拍误杀3！
多么可怕“据统计，自你开始看这部电影，我国（印度）已经有八名女性被强奸了！”直面丑恶正是改变的开始，希望会有所改变而不只是拍一部电影！
211225对资本的描述很真实，获取用户各种隐私，监控用户行为，以此来盈利，现实中谁会那么好心开发免费的东西呢
为什么强奸不能判处死刑？强奸不仅带来伤害，还让无数女性活在恐惧中，并不比死亡来得更加轻松。印度以超高的强奸犯罪率闻名，但至少他们拍出这样的电影，你必须大喊大叫来逼迫世人醒来。
电影存在的意义大于电影本身，就电影自身品质来说，还欠打磨。（2022.4.6豆瓣7.8分）
有社会问题 有承载社会事件的媒介 就是没有电影
可怕的現實…但實際上不以暴制暴根本無人在意…
7/10。套路明显，导致几个小高潮抓不住眼球，后半段真情实感爆发，挽回一点冲突感，这种片在印度永远是意义高于其他，希望现实也越来越好。
然而现实是，你永远叫不醒一个装睡的人。
被情绪主导还是在所难免 但女性确实是伟大的
形式太强，故事要是细想是有漏洞的，最后那个小反转和结尾的字幕真是有点惊到了。
