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.
但从另一个角度看，当今世界意识形态真的是超级割裂...

感覺太趕做出來了，時長也不到一個小時，很多點可以吐槽滴更深刻更諷刺
笑死我了，这老美自黑都要成年度惯例了是吗。虽然2021跟2020相比都很糟心，但2022开年的时候笑一笑，总是对过去的一年有个交待嘛
没有当时2020的喜感，整个话题也显得有些boring，但是还是非常的western world。

有趣，几个演员一本正经的调侃老美2021这些大事。明年再看2022。
去年的第一集还是很好玩的，毕竟新鲜。今年的梗用同样的套路玩一遍就好无聊。。。拜托明年别玩了。
2021要结束，对于人类，还是没有学到教训，而对我这个渺小的一份子来说，世界怎么样了我不知道，我还是没有赚到钱。
202104哈哈哈哈错过了2020版本的，先把21看了，无限报梗，发现看了这么多喜剧类型还是最爱美式一本正经扯淡的风格。Anyway，希望2022善待我们一些
可谓2021美国大事件专辑，还带货了不少影视剧，但特朗普领导的国会事件无疑是最亮眼的。。。对于不怎么关心新闻的人，一开始看得真假莫辩。旁白和众演员阴阳怪气的揶揄很令人开心，但想想这世界一年比一年疯狂，人们日益剑拔弩张，又令人对有点担心。
很讽刺的，人们一点也没从2020的教训中学到任何东西，对中国的偏见依旧是不变……甚至还和印度相提并论了……
有点无聊，但也不是看不下去的那种。老美的关注点跟中国人确实不太一样……
Rest in peace Armie Hammer.LMAOOO
对于3月到5月生活在上海的中国公民，这部电影实在太轻飘飘了
应景电影：2021过去了，世界变好还是变得糟糕了？
本片回顾了以米国为主的2021年相关的“大事”。好像去年差不多这会也看过《Death to 2020》。一如既往的黑色幽默、一如既往的严肃讽刺。将来该不会成为奈飞的传统保留节目了吧？疫情、环境污染、元宇宙、奥运会……还有《007无暇赴死》的上映。这所谓选择“大事”的标准，还真是一时让人找不到规则……
看的时候有团结紧张严肃活泼非黑即白的好笑感，看完后啥都不记得了，这片真心各种内涵。要是拍成中国版，估计Netflix总部得被RPG掉。我说的是牛逼的元宇宙公司帮忙把他们RPG角色扮演化
比起don't look up那种令人绝望的讽刺，我是真的很喜欢这种直白指桑骂槐演疯狂打脸的讽刺。
還是很英式幽默 // what we learnt in 2021 is we learnt nothing from 2020
