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.
影片涉及了挺多在现实中要面对的问题，结局的走向表达了一种人人都能得偿所愿的期望。
爱与美超越种族、性别、宗教，现实和理想的碰撞倒映形婚的种种尴尬，终于忍不可忍奔向自由。重压之下，总有打破常规那一下，尽管冗长，在情感与歌舞结合的部分让人想快进。但片子本身却开了好头，没有给出妥协的结局，人物设置和内心枷锁也因角色而多了几重，蛮有意思的，和兹山鱼谱似的，暗恨不是国产片。
印度电影虽然敢拍，但要动辄两三个小时长的电影，实在没耐心看
看完反思：是不是自己也有曾经喊过别人阿三的时候，就像在井底去嘲笑在井边也许还没有长大的燕子的青蛙那样
借热门短评：2018年才将同性恋去罪化的印度，2022年已经拍出直面有关形婚, 同性恋领养方面的电影了。
印度视角的同志电影，形婚同志婚后各玩各，最后出柜后也能皆大欢喜。
国产影视剧的主角什么时候能不傻逼？不中二？不智障？不作死？
有点喜宴的味道，合家欢很美好（话说两个主角的对象全是混血/外国人，要不要这么极端！缺点就是中间的剧情太长了，后面🌈游行还是很有新鲜感的。这个世界真是不一样了，连印度都在认真拍同性题材了。
本身能拍出这个题材的电影就非常优秀了
结局不那么温情会更好。不过也受不了那些摧残了
看完覺得，美滿的結局和橋上遊行的部分有點不太真實。以印度現時的風氣，仍然可能面對“榮譽”謀殺。
有点点太长了，印度果然是没有歌舞剧过不了审啊哈哈哈哈哈。
阿三都能正大光明的拍同啦，我们是越活越回去啦……
印度都能拍出这么成熟高度工业化的LGBT电影，真的进步太多了。
7.5/ 电影自反性，影像就是邪教，就是说服他人相信。
挺有宝莱坞式的幽默喜剧特点的，印度都能拍LGBT题材了
骗婚狗男女都给yes！！！用豆瓣的话说就是这辈子锁死别祸害别人，继污名化同志这个词后基佬们又抢占了彩虹这个颜色，这么想要孩子干嘛不忍着恶心自己生一个？一个无辜孩子在这种潜移默化下也要变成lgtb了，我要看血流成河！
繁华喜宴易成，漫长岁月难度。宗教信仰悬在远方，行规法律缚住四肢，流言习俗刺在脸颊，玫瑰花蕊藏在制服内，却被眼波流转出卖，喑哑的喉咙只能在夜晚互舐低鸣。炽热的目光逐渐暗淡，灼烧的期待终将寒凉，打一场旷日持久的仗，等荆棘满途全枯死。这愿望很悠长，亦决心走到底，待沧海桑田，听涛生潮起。
其实是一部接近完美的印度电影，因为印度电影一直有自己的小宇宙，这部的场景、节奏、调度、歌舞，还有时不时出现的慢镜头和MV都很印度。。最大的加分项肯定是题材，其次要赞扬这部电影的所有演员们，因为印度式表演经常吹胡子瞪眼，脸谱化，极其夸张和抓马！但这部里的男女主和所有配角的表演都很自然流畅！真的很棒！
