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.
3.5 歐陽萬成好可愛 喜歡最後《真愛至上》的部分。
一般般，无功无过的三星小电影。因为欧阳万成小哥哥多给一星
网飞可不可以不要为了迎合潮流每个月都要出几部这种烂片？
Lake Placid does not have that kind of an airport!!! says someone who spent 2 years of high school there......然后很多场景明显也不是在Lake Placid......但看到有些熟悉的地方还是很怀念高中时光诶！虽说是非常cheesy的圣诞电影，但致敬Love Actually还挺不错（就是喜欢不行吗！）
哈哈 我喜欢这样的好莱坞政治正确。亚洲男终于配了白女。这样的圣诞爱情喜剧谁不爱看！网飞第一也不是白拿的。居然还有一个月就又圣诞了啊！
真的很适合圣诞看的那种电影。有很浓的圣诞风味和美式喜剧的风格。当今的网络交友文化似乎是处于一种被包装的鉴赏行为，好像真实的东西很难看见其光芒。无论现实还是虚拟世界都有这样的缺陷的趋势，而这部电影却尝试去纠正这样的看法，从网络世界到现实，正视真正的真诚。虽然在有些拍法过于简约，个人觉得josh和Natalie 的故事可以有更多的展示。剧情其实基本都能猜测到，圣诞临近了，看看这种简单的喜剧爱情片也无疑不是一种温暖。
Jimmy O. Yang身價在上漲～～～
"Don't be afraid to be you"
好老套的一个故事，欧阳万成good job
3.5，格式工整又用心，小细节设计和配乐都挺喜欢。特好奇Jimmy OY那段攀岩是替身还是自己登上去的，估计以后段子里会讲。Yippee-ki-yay mother fucker！
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
做针对男生的蜡烛还真是个好商机；另外，怎么会有人不喜欢真爱至上？！
從頭到尾都是濃濃的「算法電影」的味道，甚是平庸了無新意，直接搬了《真愛至上》的經典橋段，但沒有很好的運用，片名也起得夠水的。
我一边支持平等自由一边觉得男女主在一起离谱…我都讨厌自己的虚伪了…
又是一个假装爱上了就可以忽略所有问题的故事
原来it's cold outside是性骚扰作品
演技无法更差了 感觉总体评分应该少于6才是
为什么被catfiah的人要来道歉 无语辣！
其实估计也是很老套估计要反套路的失败作品。但nina实在是太好看了，看着肤浅又假假的好开心
哈哈哈 想不到米国年轻人谈个正经恋爱也这么难么 也得靠交友软件了 ~ 最后蜡烛那段真的挺感人挺温暖的 还有这个亚裔男主长得真的好可爱啊 粉了粉了
