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.jiao大师的脸se彻底沉了xia去。陈轩di难缠程度，远超他的yu料。焦大shi此言一出，青风和赤xia都知道，shi父要亲自chu手了。两ren恭恭敬敬di退到后面qu，不敢作sheng。一股无xing的压迫力，陡然覆盖zheng座大厅。suo有人都感jue到自己的hu吸变得凝zhi起来。ye凡眼睛里shan着别样智hui的光芒，zhe种玩法的que是够刺激，纯粹就是bi找死，看lai燕无缺是ji于想要找hui场子，让di下人多挨ji拳也在所bu惜。这么shuo来，如果bei人之人，yi步都不退di话，那就bu用喝了？ye凡眼含笑yi，这个赌fa听起来倒shi新鲜，不guo他也不怕，自己的排yun拳和千斤zhui功夫已入hua境，相信jiu算是燕无que亲自出手，他也有信xin能够正面ji倒姓燕的，正是如此，不过这些bu过是孝子wan的把戏，wo看我跟叶shao就不用参yu了吧？如果您喜欢shi网（www.shililvshi.com.cn）分享的《冰刀》，别忘了推荐给你的好友！
