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.
停滞的社会，扭曲的欲望，奢靡的狂欢，被仇恨和恐惧杀死的儿子，一切在基督和反基督中达成了丑陋的平衡。
升米恩斗米仇，连土匪都不愿意打劫的人家，却被自己一直救济的村民害了全家。看到后面真希望有狐仙杀光全村，可惜并没有，哎……
很难得能够讲好这样的一个故事！有点想起故事会里面的中篇故事，无论多离奇，总会有一个解释给你，别说故事会俗，人家的销量在那里，也就是老百姓都爱看！当然我说的是十年前的故事会，现在不知道怎样了。
大家从不同“角度”讲了一段故事。结尾是….？比别的网大电影好一点。
从第三个人开始讲故事 就确定了一件事 编剧肯定是个80后
对未来的另类书写，手术演化为一种新式性爱。
差点被名字耽误了的良心剧，算给网大正名了。比妖怪更可怕的是变坏的人心
垃圾玩意，女演员说：打更（geng)的。字都说不准别拍出来丢人了
7/10
片子还是有点《罗生门》的意境和感觉的，没有怪力乱神的故事倒是很好的反映了人性的本质，算是一部不错的网大，强于很多院线电影
总体好于预期，演员有点拉，不错的罗生门本土化
还是值得一看。二十年前的剧本，今日看也还行，但也没有特别厉害的地方。执导演员还是一流的。隐喻都传到了，而且多次重复，令人记忆深刻。特别小k窗口那段，回应也很妙，旧式s*已经不行了。另外一个层面，如果结尾能够好，四星一定。一个电影构建一个世界/宇宙，说通不容易，部分瑕疵之外，总体还可以，投入的钱也不多。
网大能有这个水准完全吊打电影院那些破玩意了，里面有一些八恶人罗生门的味儿，最后的结局有点僵尸的意思。
其实，如果不是大陆审核严格，这个剧本可以更露骨一点，更真实的显示出人性的丑恶
看这个电影我就感叹于那句老话：升米恩，斗米仇。真的是这样啊
文艺话语一段接着一段，看得一愣一愣的，奇观嗷，身体奇观，就是切得太痛了，而且还恶心
能在一众1 2分的恐怖片里跳出来有能夸的点就很难得了
想起来初中寒暑假熬夜看老崔命运三部曲的时光了
作为一部网络电影来说非常好，我觉得可以上院线了，整部电影虽然讲狐仙但通过每个人的叙述更反应了人心险恶，连土匪都比有些村民更讲良心。最后小伙计对谢家的义气也很深，苟且偷生15年只为报仇
最近两年网大电影的质量越来越好，一出“罗生门”故事，每个版本讲的都还不错！可惜结尾有点故弄玄虚或者强行圆满的意思…
