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 andor 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.
The film starts with a masked killer entering an apartment and murdering a young couple, Krish and Shruti one cold, rainy night in Coimbatore.

So, the friend sends his son to Deepak so Deepak can brainwash him into not joining the force since his parents feels it is too dangerous. When the son arrives, he asks Deepak to tell him how he became crippled. Deepak begins to narrate his story of the final case that robbed him of the job he loved.

這是一部意大利驚悚片，是個沒出名的經典作品。 故事的開始是在全國各地旅行的年輕夫婦，他們犯了一個錯誤，就是接受了一個搭便車者，而這不速之客竟然是一個暴力犯罪的銀行劫匪。 這部驚悚巧妙的掌握到瘋狂轉折的情節。攝影很時尚，有美麗的鄉村。音樂雖然有點不搭，但也很棒。此外，還有相當數量的暴力和裸體。 這部電影的真正亮點在於三位明星，他們在整部影片中都有搶眼的表現。 Franco Nero的表演令人信服，是個嗜酒的記者，對妻子漸漸感到厭倦。飾演妻子的Corinne Clery同樣疲憊於Nero，而她有個動人的身材。這種情況正好給惡棍大衛赫斯提供了絕佳的機會…… imdb評論
