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.
但老夫人的去世却很让我感伤，尤其当我想起今年去世的妈妈，眼泪一下子就止不住了。
从开头就开始爆哭，两个小时眼泪没停过，but u know, we have to move on
如果不是copy paste是cut paste就好了
Goodbye, Lady Grantham.
你担心你去世后家人无法接受，找个克隆人代替你，有没有想过你太太，母亲，父亲也是这样想的，结果一家子克隆人生活在一起，其乐融融。
劣：人都能造出来了，病还治不好~亚洲那姐妹，记得挺恶心的，卖丑博眼球~所谓的科学家，一副圣母表情，所作所为也挺逆自然的~
想去南法！小茶杯的发际线啊… 一下没认出来。最喜欢的角色就是奶奶了，想看奶奶年轻的时候的故事。想看 Daisy 的婚礼没看到哼。大家一起拍电影太好玩了。
有点儿托卡尔丘克的味道。 对了，天鹅一名是对应诗神吧？
人生不相见，动如参与商。
你要谢谢唐顿庄园里至今没有塞进黑人亚裔并良好展示了当时各阶层人的生活
tv版11-14的总集篇，合集一律三星，不解释。
一个时代结束了。麦格教授 will always watching. 就是这么大阵仗，第二个老公还是没有死回来。
开始有点像机械姬。好无聊啊，空洞无物还要演这么久。20211231

克隆体融入现实生活，这样替代品还是不错的选择。
这个系列确实没有继续的必要了，给个情怀三星吧。已经变成庄园文化僵尸了，观感如同裹脚布，无趣冗长。疫情都过去两年半了，唐家屯还在上演阶级固化、小打小闹但永远无伤大雅的合家欢大电影，仿佛给每个人凑到cp、结婚生子就是童话里的happy ending。唯一欣慰的是我们英俊迷人又贤惠的Barrow小可爱终于找到partner了，而那压根没有几幕的情节竟然也被和谐了（我根本不需要查都可以想象至多是个kiss，和对lady mary的一小段自白），简直、气到变形(－＂－怒)That's why I can't put up with (you know who)……
倪豆子过于可爱了🥺
软科幻背景下，没有多关注克隆的人伦道德，只专注了一个主题就是爱，设定比较老套，但感情还是实在的感受到了
不很好看。节奏拖沓的要了人的命。叙述逻辑毫无章法。十分钟短片就可以搞定的内容拖拖拉拉，拉长成这么大一坨。又臭又长，折磨观众。浪费别人的时间等于谋财害命。
鼓屋的疯狂感还可以更强，鼓鬼怎么可以在一个房间里就被彻底杀掉了呢？
