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.
这片子可真省钱啊，是不是大部分预算都是吉伦哈尔的片酬……
我最近这是什么手气啊……氛围很好，前面一半搞不懂什么事就不想快进，整个故事通过打电话来展开也不让人难受。吐槽：男主在片子里一言不合就开喷，挨喷的有脸人不是胖子就是女人，大家都还好好地哄着他，也许是因为大家都知道他正在艰难时刻？最后男主不仅心碎人救心碎人，还洗心革面重新做人。总之：当白男真好啊。

心碎人救心碎人。以为是恐怖片，其实有点像恐怖直播，都是在演播厅，还不错，最后反转的时候有点惊悚。
这种脾气的911接线员应该会坏很多事儿吧？然后，观众并不想看到他在马桶里吐的东西是啥颜色。
跟汤老师的洛克有点像，都是独角戏+电话推动剧情。杰哈圆满完成任务，呈现出浑身上下的焦虑和悲伤过去的痛苦，剧情反转不新鲜也没有特别吸引人
6.2分，主要还是依靠于吉伦哈尔的演技。剧作以及视听呈现方式在原作时就已经惊艳过了，难免疲劳。
看着演员表里的一堆熟面孔，谁能想到就听了个声儿呢。奈飞还是放过电影拍电视剧吧，现在甚至不敢想象隔壁卡司吓死人的某片会拍成什么样。
真人版911 接线员 突然意识到也许游戏里的那个我也这样
Broken people save broken people. 老吉厉害
电影很无聊，三星全部给演技，老吉一个人hold住全场
热知识：给Henry配音的萨斯加德是饰Joe的杰克-吉伦哈尔的姐夫，嗯，他老婆是玛吉-吉伦哈尔
3.5吧，可能是我看过最独角戏的电影，也就是这种有明星魅力的演员才能演，其他人没耐心看下去了
即使不考虑跟原版的对比，即使有Jake，也只能给三星
帮助他人也是对自己的救赎，没几个场景大部分都是电话，依旧很精彩
“Broken people save broken people”. 情节几度紧张到我啃指甲。杰克希伦哈尔的独角戏值得10分满分的10分。
剧情很乏味，更多是靠内心戏的不断体味，老美太喜欢拍这种内心的自我成长了，与现实相比，勇气太难。
因为看过丹麦原版.没办法肯定要比较，杰克不够克制，所以只看到一个暴躁老哥，真正随时暴发的愤怒没有演出来.气自己害死了一个孩子，气自己失职.伊桑霍克这也太打酱油了吧😂
十分顯然，大火就是BLM和antifa，guilty就是因為跪死叻Mr. Cantbreath.
