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.
我一般不给美国人拍的亚洲片高分，但这部真的太好看了…
就是普通的王子复仇记，安雅很漂亮，冰岛风光不错，仅此而已。4/10
另类王子复仇记·北欧传奇版，母后叛变，最后和仇人同归于尽。装神弄鬼，神神叨叨，鬼迷日眼风。四星半。
但还是值得一看！
导演有没有拍嗨不知道，反正我是看爽了（当然，酒精也起到了作用
北欧王子复仇记 介于邪典和史诗电影之间 很大程度上保留了导演的个人化风格 神秘主义宗教民俗巫术等元素杂糅 视听效果不错但故事内核还是缺乏新意 E大和妮可演完夫妻竟然还能演母子
艾格斯继续稳定发挥，影像风格比前两部作品更成熟。哈姆雷特的叙事底板，基本盘首先能保证，这次的亮点是通灵后的精神世界和北欧众神的设定巧妙融合起来，对于推进剧情和视觉构建，都产生了十分显著的效果。安雅还是美啊！
这么老套的剧情真是难以想象，舞台剧风格让人昏昏欲睡，唯有部分画面值得一看……
个人感觉拍的不错啊，也没有什么辱华的情节，是今年看到过最好的漫威电影了。
啊啊啊啊啊我要吹爆它
3.5
近中世纪的北欧王国斗争
感觉在看花木兰+功夫熊猫，元素杂糅，自以为是的中国风，花里胡哨的颜色，老套的故事
浓浓的权游味儿，没有它的好看，倒有电视剧的平庸和啰嗦。
除了冰岛的景色一无是处。。。顶多还有乔伊的美颜。。。enmmm
你以为把H换了个顺序我就不认识你了？？？视听还不错但这个故事线也太粗劣的照搬平铺直叙了吧……
如果不是有安雅我不会看的，但是看下来也还算好看，拍得很庄重
可以。神龙出来之后骑龙那段真是笑死我了，真.龙的传人！西方世界对东方“龙的传人”刻板印象是有多重啊哈哈哈！动作戏还可以！
今年最好的电影，
3.5。不得不承认我还有点喜欢这种空洞的仪式感，但场景和视觉的调度和设计上真的也就只有一点仪式感可以看看了，艾格斯拍出来这样一个片子我不能接受。
