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.
她老公一天到晚不相信自家老婆也就罢了，还拿她最紧张最在意的事当梗讲给同事听，没想到惊悚片也能让我生气……
让人不寒而栗，手枪立了flag，就知道女主一定会用到。
这是那种适合在长途大巴上偶尔瞟一眼的东欧恐怖片
房子装修挺好看的…男人不管什么时候都是敷衍了事。
这未婚夫不靠谱啊 都说被跟踪了还假装没事人样的 只顾着自己的工作前途 垃圾。女的也恋爱脑 语言都不通就跟着人一起了 白天还独守空房 不理解这两个人
原本剧情三星，但这题材廷喜欢加多一星，后尾反杀太快。。但中间部分代入感廷好。。
只有我一直在等我想象中的反转吗？比如丈夫才是“蜘蛛”……
這類電影總有一個角色啥都不相信。女主是怎麼做到被割喉並流了這麼多血還能不死而暴起反殺的？
不太喜欢，匆匆跳过看了个结尾，不太喜欢这种无缘无故的单纯心理变态的情节
恶人围逼终反杀，恐男大势如浪涌。
剧情太拖沓了，简单的故事硬撑了90分钟。另外女主真美！
三星半吧，怎么接连看了两部恐男片。真感觉能体会女性恐惧的还得是女性，能拯救的还得是自己。
剧情略显老套，但是摄影是可以的，增加了影片的惊悚感
成年男人比任何妖魔鬼怪都可怕，偷窥的成年男人再加上了变态二字。释放女性低安全感的焦虑的惊悚片，整体完成度很好。
最后女主反杀 帅气！男性凝视真的让人气死了，拍出了所有女生的恐惧
女主角很耐看，演技也还行。片尾反杀很带感，看着很爽
包豪斯般的冷漠世界，相互冲突的欲望与人性碰撞
略微多冗长了些 看不下去的即视感扑面而来 类型化严重
请永远相信你自己的第六感！如果你觉得有什么不对劲了，肯定是出问题了。另外那名清洁工和一直偶遇的人是波恩扮演诶，指向型太明确了吧。女主真的很像凯拉·奈特利。
还行，氛围和镜头很赞，最后结局虽然有些不合理倒也颇具戏剧性。
