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.
也看了不少谢苗这几年的网大了，从整个片子的质感来说，这部应该是最佳的，如果上院线也算是不差的武侠片。也算是兑现了谢苗那些年自己的承诺，既然没人给资源就自己从网大起步，做大做强。所谓武侠，其实金庸已经把侠之大者说的很明白了，而侠的最初无非就是快意恩仇，路见不平拔刀相助罢了。瞎子眼瞎心不瞎，所以侠气纵横。整部电影的动作设计是过关的，剧情上相对薄弱了点，尤其琴娘的死就是为了死而死，然后渲染一下大雪漫天，说真的杀完人之后打光下的这些雪都能看出是假的。
三星半，短小精悍，干净俐落，镜头也有设计，但感觉审美有点日式。
武戏精彩，文戏起承转合也是有理有据，人物无论正反角都立得住不出戏，网大里的上佳之作。
琴娘临死前称呼成乙为瘟神有些不妥，琴娘对成乙不只是感激救命之恩，还有爱，即便搭上性命也义无反顾，这不应该是一个生死之交的挚友应该的称呼。但是我还是看了两遍，今年难得的好片
牛逼还是你们牛逼，删影评、举报禁言。这么玻璃心吗？
辽宁人觉得是部很不错的片子，下一部就去看369。阴魂不散的龅牙婆婆，玩世不恭的小舅。曲子和片子太贴合了，故事讲的总体不错。
（仿佛看到了5年后的自己）
网大精品，有些地方还是略简陋，故事性也不强，打斗不错，整部下来节奏流畅也算明快，在这我能算三星半，四舍五入给个四星鼓励一下，希望谢苗以后多出新作品！
怎么说呢，把那个从剑戟片到新武侠年代的东西几乎是原汁原味地翻出来，简直近乎于一种文化保全。表演略寒碜，但胜在干净利落，无论是节奏还是动作。
必须有东西激一激这个平静的江湖了。
作为小成本网大，真的还不错，但没得拔高，谢苗的气质和演技确实差了些，最后非要来个“火刀”特效，真的是画蛇添足。
制作还行，但是这个故事真是简单到简陋，如何拿到投资？
魏君子总算把武侠玩明白了，可惜世间却再无座头市
美术组持续输出。
了事扶衣，天涯何处逢。
剧情极度空洞，连国产片用来塞时长的煽情桥段都没有╮(╯▽╰)╭
杨导和谢苗不是第一次合作了，二位请继续加油。4星献上。
好在故事还算流畅紧凑，摄影也不错。
虽然除了谢苗都不认识，琴女还是个整容脸，不过谢苗这身手，这打戏，这武打画面质感，瞎子拿出全部身家豁出性命只为守护一个公道的初心，感觉一种久违的江湖武侠气息扑来。剧情再饱满些就更好了。
盲剑客的皮，剑戟片的骨，光影也是樱花味儿。这网大真算不错了
