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.
怎会如此啊怎会如此 我的喜欢全是源自于对此地的不满
印度现在就已经能拍出同性领养合法化的片子了，Be you那一段简直泪崩
其实最早之前我个人是排斥同性恋的，但是慢慢身边人有很多存在，也就接受了。正如片中所说，上帝决定了他们。另外，阿三能拍出这样的片子，真是让我震惊，比国内的片质量还要高，五星。
前半段有点慢，后半段的剧情推进特别精彩，观影过程中我特别害怕看到男女主角无奈妥协，好在电影三观没出任何问题，形婚题材拍得真的棒。
婚姻双方都是同性恋
我已经开始期待彩虹旗在印度的天空招展的时光了
隔壁阿三都能拍出这种电影 里面的gay主真的刻画得很好 男性的甩锅，不负责，抠门，某些时候的无脑体现得淋漓尽致 相爱的两个人，眼神就能看出来是否相爱，天雷勾地火，一触即燃。 嘤嘤嘤，我一外人都磕到了磕到了😭
挺惊喜的一部平权电影，前面是搞笑幽默各种喜剧元素，后面是误会解开，开始升华。
逼婚逼生小孩那裡看得讓人窒息，但是現實更讓人窒息，唉，can’t talk feeling something 💔
同性的逼婚、形婚、出柜、婚恋、领养替代繁殖，印度人通过一部电影都给了一个理想化的回答。
近期第二部印度片，葡萄真酸啊。女二日系脸和周围格格不入，感觉选角有私心。形婚内男女主关系转变在打电话那里拍得不错，结局也很符合喜剧定位，女主和女二手拉手跑过彩虹旗的镜头很美。最想吐槽的是你们的基/姬达怎么一碰一个准？
我们一直看不起阿三，阿三比我们更封建传统，但他们进步了，而我们呢？希望我们有一天我们的电影也能像印度电影一样
拍的一般，印度都开始拍这个题材了啊。女二蛮有味道的
就电影本身而言 剧情拖沓故事老套 但关键是这是一部印度电影 这个不同种姓通婚都有可能被私刑处理的国度 拍出了一部形婚的电影 只能说了不起
同性恋男女的形婚生活，先是为了父母，后是为了领养孩子。
而且不仅是题材加分，搞笑也还是真蛮好笑的，歌舞元素也很少
4-5、7 故事还是那种没触及很深的喜剧，戏剧冲突也很少，人物变化也很表面，总之就是噱头大于内容。但是也是想念印度，现在看着电影里的画面，又在恍惚自己真的经历过那些生活在印度的日子吗？真实又遥远
男主好芬兰汤姆啊哈哈哈哈
不能写也不能沉默的东西太多！一部电影它做得了什么呢？
147分钟的电影，太长了。最后被大家所接受，也算是个友善的信号。
