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.
看到日本电影也如此逻辑错乱 我特么的放心了 比如 那个新能源 那个为了世界和平啥的 不是最终不了了之了？技术呢？秘方呢？藏哪里去了？呵呵另外个人感受 看到小日本子还是那么嚣张浮夸 我真的想大嘴巴抽丫的
韩国恐怖片真是喜欢现实意义的传达，《隧道》：道路千万条，安全第一条；《红衣女》：拒绝校园霸凌；《齿虫》：定时洗牙；《招魂》：恐同；《层间噪音》：租房核验非自然死亡事件；《二手家具》：不要买二手！《冥婚》：姓名和八字不要随便给陌生人，会被抓去配阴婚。《镜子中的女人》：自媒体的容貌焦虑。《人体模型》是比较喜欢的一个故事。《齿虫》看得我牙好疼，变异寄生虫本是好故事但变丧尸的逻辑很突兀，更近似几个类型片的捏合。多数故事在力图反恐怖片套路，部分故事虎头蛇尾倾向。
废弃的矿坑，远古的邪神，美国西北的迷雾森林，湿漉漉的街道，没有太阳的世界，独自步入危险的女人，典型的克系风景。哪里找来这么灵的小男孩演员
当时有很高的期望，拖了两年后看到成片就这？
杀人无数的恶魔被女主冷兵器干死了……恶魔回到家可能都会被小伙伴嘲笑
剧情一般，但是这中二的感觉～横滨的白毛～还是很不错的。（为啥感觉流星和大当家有点好嗑）
白期待了，完全不吓人，非常套路，看得我只想冷笑。
普普通通……好吧，其实没那么好看，但这是流星第一次单主大馆，还是要给个五星的👋
jumpscare之类的东西都还能猜出来会怎么出现，太垃圾了。哎呀只有第三个齿虫牙虫那个还算新颖一点。
这种段子我走两小时夜路能编一百个出来 翻白眼ing
印第安原住民传说，恐怖大师里有鹿女，这又来了个雄鹿怪，只不过影片拍的太直白，没有悬疑色彩。
情节中二，妆发中二，台词中二，一切中二，挺正常的男主，弄得很不正常
预告片也太诈骗了，冲流星颜值可以看，冲剧情来就快跑，鬼牌那个游戏不仅没紧张感还有点尴尬。。本以为和赌博有关会拍出很多花样，，好吧，只能说很中二～

嗨，又是“我们要知道你这么厉害我们早就听你的了”系列恐怖片，连人带妖怪都是为了衬托莫名奇妙的女主光环
