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.
北野武应该是那种人格魅力超过作品价值的人。浅草走出来的奇怪小子一路上坚持着不破不立的信念，磕磕绊绊实现了自我与这个世界的奇妙调和。
原来是在讲北野武的师父啊，就当看个北野武番外吧……
时代变迁对一些人来说是残酷的打击，对另一些人却是千载难逢的机遇。
挺标准的好片，我们小柳真是有他的性感啊。大泉洋也很好，铃木保奈美姐姐真是太好看了
真好...北野武大爷青春时代热血（创业）期的故事，连后来出轨离婚都那么干脆，净身出户，200亿日元（12亿+RMB）说给就给...了结发前妻，都70岁多了的老混蛋，还是有底气啊~这样的人还是太少了。
个人评价：
1.服、化、道尤其是几十年前的那种感觉，做得细致到位
哭死。竟然感觉北野武跟师傅学技的样子有些像大圣，仔细想想甚至精神内核也是一致的。
结尾长镜头很漂亮，替活人拍传记，心里怪怪的。
前阵子随机到这首老歌，没想到是因为同名电影上映了，剧情流水账，不过北野武的沧桑歌喉响起时，还是有点感人。
故事：9 情感：9 结构：8 节奏：6
感觉生生把车祸年龄提前20年，天生抽搐症太抢戏了何必呢
师徒这种关系很微妙，是很难用好或者坏来总结的。但通常日后回顾的时候结论总会偏向一个极端，其实很考验人性。
多少有些无聊，还是老爷子自编自导自演会看得更起劲
剧情：8
影片流露出的师徒情很感人，明明是两个大男人，却有那么一丝细腻，一个有才，一个爱才。最后能在师父灵堂“讲笑话”，真是把师父教的本领发挥到淋漓尽致。
确实很像，很传神去。同时被踢踏舞种草。无论中外，搞喜剧的人，其实对情感的理解更透彻，这种敏感往往是娱乐了别人，悲苦了自己，从而用喜感来作为武装自己的盔甲。我老婆总说我喜欢搞笑，而她却完全不相信我曾被确诊过抑郁症。更不相信我说自己其实是性格内向的人。喜与悲只是一个硬币的两面。最后一幕长镜头厉害。
“师父你总是那么急性子，反正死掉之后会火葬，干嘛要自己烧掉”真是笑着笑着就哭了，哭着哭着又笑了。
为什么最后不让北野武演北野武？影帝真的不错，嘴歪到耳朵了吧，影帝真的是让我觉得可以用演技弥补颜值的演员，和大泉洋的互动真感人，没想到竟然是个煽情片
开篇这个声音和扮相真是幻视了，北野武还活着呢居然就出了传记很微妙哈哈，特别是对于北野武这样的人来说。柳乐优弥努力模仿歪嘴眨眼看着实在是很出戏了，北野武的故事的确很戏剧性，但拍得中规中矩过于戏剧化和尴尬煽情了，最感人的部分大概是浅草小子这首歌了。
