1972意大利悬疑犯罪片《冰刀》由Umberto Lenzi导演,Carroll Baker主演,影片讲述的是:
This early 70s giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre Personally I think Lenzis best films are the funny cartoonturnedfilm Kriminal the stylish giallo Seven BloodStained 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 characters 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 Lenzis ability to build suspense very slowly but meaningfully After all there arent so many murders in the whole film only the suspense circulating around the murderers 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
