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.
男主有点禁欲系的意思，蛮戳我的，谁能抗拒举高高亲亲，轻松的电影，可！
在一部爱情片里面，男女主角居然都令人生厌，唉服了油。
不是很喜欢，没有引人入胜的感觉反而越看越乏味
我想和男主上床 轻松快乐爱情喜剧 最后二十分钟真的心梗 只想看甜甜甜怼怼怼
傲慢与偏见式的小妞电影就是yyds！女主淡妆好漂亮 男主人设很苏😘
男女主颜值是唯一能看的。女主是HIMYM里的女儿，很亲切哈哈。
包装于赌牌中的复仇故事，拍得有气无力，节奏缓慢。导演大约迷恋旧时电影，从片头、配乐、风格均有诸多模仿。同时又紧跟现在的时髦，总是爱用画外音，开场一大段独白，让人以为是广播剧。其实老老实实拍一部赌场片就好，又偏偏要加入很多的元素，还扯入虐囚酷刑之类的，两者契合得相当生硬。
职场浪漫爱情喜剧，两个人互相斗气的时候真的十分小学生，选角太好了
男主真的帅 但我怎么看不懂他们一下敌对一下又爱的逻辑啊
好土我好喜欢 电梯里的吻真是氛围感拉满
无功无过爱情片，彼此顶嘴的话术还是可以学一学的。
看片名以为会是个决胜21点的故事，实际上还是保罗·施拉德《第一东正会》那种受困过往回忆的主角渴望救赎的路子，所以突破性不太大，赌博在这里不过是暂时逃避痛苦的手段，同时也指代了男主未知的命运，关塔那摩监狱那段的鱼眼变形镜头还挺妙，荒唐与扭曲被呈现了出来，整体还是很克制，有种苦行僧的感觉，伊萨克花白头发造型好评。
原著看过一部分，反正我就是喜欢enemies to lovers这种类型。
高情商：预算太低了
Final week 复习作死看的电影// 看了小说一定会看电影的人就是我/// 蛮甜的
五十度灰的清新版？色调舒服，剧情流畅，有时像在看Emily in Paris。
欢喜冤家yyds，男主人设真的很可，男德禁欲代表，女主的人设也可，活力小太阳，但是节奏拍的太无聊了，快进都无法拯救枯燥
因为一个剪辑视频看的 明显剪辑视频更好看
【3.0】观影体验其实还行，即便是架设了过于庞大的表达系统，影片也并没有给人一种虚张声势的高深状，施拉德没有刻意回避类型片观众的普遍需求。作为一个摄影的超验主义者，施拉德最大的问题是他的影像处于一种尴尬境地：无法通过影像识别作者，风格是集成化的。这种集成化体现在观众对本片的评价上，即是有人大谈布列松，而我觉得它是一部“双峰”综合征电影。
女主有点脚踏两只船的样子，旦并不影响整部电影的欢快轻松的气氛，尤其音乐每一首都那么喜欢
