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.
总有一个人，视你如珍宝，爱你、惜你，胜过爱他、惜他自己。
我想采访一句：男主这种人设是只存在在这部电影里的吧。
想看爱情片，却看了一部布道片，两个小时也算值得，但是片名翻译真的要差评啊
爱得太突然，这谁信啊，除了enfj本身
中间有几度想说女主是不是有点太执拗了 但！ 最后还是美好结局 所以算了吧 希望大家都能得到救赎 都能有真爱陪伴一生
说得好，2021 让2020显得只是个序曲。
一些讽刺真的一针见血，让人笑出声。只可惜老美管不住疫情，以致一大半都是讲疫情，少了点趣味，内容没有「多元化」呀啊喂
男主好帅，一见钟情女主，男主这样的现在也难找，尊重女主有男德。女主和她母亲的命运太过悲惨，还好遇到了男主，几次出走让我看着感觉好虐
很好的诠释了我们和他之间的爱，只有他才可以这样的爱我们，他从来没有放弃我们，只有我们选择是是否爱他。
不好笑，1个小时的流水账，还夹带私货说了半天《布里奇顿》和《鱿鱼游戏》
宣传上帝、救赎，所有的一切都能得到谅解的片子
故事是fantasy 一边叹太过童话了 一边又唏嘘 可能生活里没有的童话确实需要一些假象来弥补
"My real name is Sarah."
最后：爱是存在的，存在周围，因为，我们专注在那些死而带不走的东西而无法感知到。
我觉拍的挺好，我关注都是情绪，都是浅尝辄止，但又十分到位那种，画面也贼美
2021就是2020的续集综合征 电影是 现实也是
她从萨拉到安琪再到萨拉走了一段太曲折苦涩的路，还好她被坚定的他看到再去找，别人可以给解决的短暂漂浮犹疑，只有自己的力量才够勇敢永远。奔着温暖的爱情片收藏，结果太过艰涩残忍，愿一切都被原谅救赎。
女主的每一次出走，都是不断成长，到最后成为一位厨师，无疑是最成功的。
片尾说着“体认到彼此都是真实的人类，花时间倾听”，通篇表现的却是把喊话对象想象成没有理性能力的乌合之众。阴阳怪气只能让同温层里的人爽过，过后还是各走各路。揶揄的是无知，而展现的却是傲慢。
爱情是奢侈品，每个人都想追求它，纯真的、美好的，妓女也不例外！她逃他追，她插翅难飞；爱到最后才发现爱是放手成全，是放虎归山
