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.
我猜圣诞期间看一部平淡不好不坏的平淡电影……也还行吧
完全gay版love hard……不过反正圣诞档电影，要啥自行车
圣诞节总该看几部温馨的电影。2021真是大开眼界的一年，见识了全黑的西部牛仔，还见证了一对圣诞节黑白配gay love。感叹自己和世界的价值已经渐行渐远了？！看到结尾男男主角kiss，既感到欢喜又感到尴尬。不知道什么时候西雅图未眠夜这样的传统情节还能回归主流？I'm saving money for something important. And you are important.如果是一对男女，这土味台词还挺感人的……
看不下去，典型美式爛片，強扭的瓜不甜懂嗎？學直人那套按頭配種有意思？做人別太雞婆，管好你們自己，少自以為是做月老，倆男主一丁點火花都沒有！！！別為難好姐妹了吧
我就问一句，只是一句:毫无CP感是怎么做到的？剧情和演技都是大写的尬...
4.2 救命，这绝对是直男写的吧，同性恋有很多纯洁的友谊，不仅仅是姐妹，甚至0和1都可以是“姐妹”，比如*姐……这种故意让俩姐妹磨逼，还故意安排他们爱上对方的设定……醒醒！你们只是适合搭伙过日子，没有性吸引力！
一整个合家欢言情cliche🙄单身狗看它简直自取其辱，扣一星
popcorn movie 甜喜剧还是不错的
gay哪里有这么纯情和不解风情啊……无语了…直男直女写的本子吧
唉，觉得结尾仓促了。两情相悦不易，且行且珍惜。小黑的眼睛太深情了……滑雪教练也好啊，男主不懂珍惜，不过狠狠的共情了。
就是聖誕佳節愛情喜劇呀甜到我都要蛀牙了, 麥可優莉還是很可愛呀醜女貝蒂都變懷舊美劇了, 倒是新認識的福里萌真是可愛到不像話耶但才27歲喔//喜歡這種沒有硬要說什麼大道理, 認認真真給你一個空洞的美好幻夢的感覺祝大家聖誕快樂囉
看了前部分，这种家庭氛围太让人羡慕了，明天继续，追评，哈哈
好想看啊啊啊啊但是不想一个人看呜呜呜呜呜呃. Nick真的是10 james也是看一眼就沦陷。不知道我到底是在为单身而哭还是为研究而哭。不想读了啊啊
很好的圣诞电影。各种立场正确。小黑尼克cute又讨人喜欢。圣诞月需要的那种happy ending～ 看看这样的轻松的电影不好么…
好朋友能成为恋人真的很幸运，而一旦分开就真的会失去一个朋友。Anyway，今天也为别人的爱情猛虎落泪。
中规中矩圣诞合家欢 拥抱家人 发现爱情 Luke究极工具人
现实生活中男主会拒绝这么hot的健身教练？我不信
看了那么多圣诞电影，今年这部入选个人心中最佳。圣诞电影嘛，就不要执拗剧情要多跌宕起伏，温情美好就足够了！Michael还是当年可爱的样子，让我惊喜的是Luke，真是从兄弟姐妹的时候就被他帅到，黑人小哥也是非常帅，雪地拍照哪里直接把我融化了。
虽然但是，米帅看了可能都想问编剧Luke是哪里不好了，非要男主跑回去选一个可能撞号的室友，想不通啊喂！
多打1星给Luke 。小白和小黑真的是姐妹啊，毫无cp感。
