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.
想要吓人，但感觉只想通过音效营造出恐怖气氛，这点真的还得向温子仁多加学习。剧情也看得我一脸懵逼，一开始弟弟为什么要在树林里杀告密的人呢，又说把女儿抓走了，干活的没看到有女的…太多bug了，女主的演技也有待改进，相反小六子演技不错啊。整体对于国产恐怖片来说还是可以的了，虽然并不恐怖，还煽情。但是中途看着还是觉得有点无聊。
尴尬的法国喜剧，导演镜头混乱，看的人恶心。
制作算得上精良，情节也紧凑，主题依然是，世界上最危险的怪物总是人。
女主的枪是金箍棒，总能在关键的时候从耳朵里变出来
两位主角情感上的变化都莫名其妙摸不着头脑，也没太有同性之爱的戏份，顶多是小时代姐妹花。
有点类似 怪奇物语的风格 但是不如怪奇物语饱满
认真看完了这部电影，水怪2画面感场景氛围很不错。画面色彩，布景都有老电影和香港电影的感觉，演员表现还行！我比较喜欢这个风格。剧情也很不错，前面有些阴深恐怖，后面又很感人。看得出拍摄组很用心。只是有些地方有些浮夸了，希望以后能出更多好电影，加油加油~！
还蛮喜欢这个阴郁潮湿的感觉～水怪最后看的时候甚至有些可爱～剧情还可以
amazon studio的片头广告看着好舒服啊
惊悚？？？？？？恐怖片就是每个人莫名其妙，然后找莫名其妙的理由！
电影几乎都是在棚内拍摄的，知道导演在叙事上下了不少功夫，但是网大的局限性还是很大，希望还是赚点钱，早点出去布景拍摄的，3星就当支持了。
[视]导演<魔童>，双儿童主演，黑人女主颜低，吵闹式悚叫。鬼面蛛，时装女巫，糖果克苏鲁。戴眼镜男主老摸额头，总怕摸出一条闪电状的疤
我太热爱这种儿童向邪典了，看冒险小虎队长大的影响。
拍摄、色调还不错，但是故事确实没什么新意，女主好看但是演技着实拉胯
她的鞋每双都很厚底😂颜真的很🉑
故事结构并不连贯，人物立不起来，一切都在按照编剧想当然的发展，Kate完全就是一个bitch啊，相比之下M简直小天使。唯一能看的也就只有颜值了。
案件没什么质量，也没什么看点，但硬生生讲了两个小时，这是我对本片最大的不满。两星。
估计看过的人会陆续进来打低分，但我觉得这片子做的还挺用心，比那些玩烂梗洗钱硬植入的野鸡网大好多了。应该鼓励国产惊悚片的创作。不抱希望反而有点小惊喜。
can't even finish the whole thing
边干活边看，氛围营造得挺好的。影片三颗星吧，最后温情部分姐姐带你回家共情了，心疼弟弟，加一星感情分。
