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.
如果全部是群众演员的话，演技确实比专业演员好一点
包场看，看哭了。重点在于妈，和妈的潮汕传统生活。刚看过《似水流年》更有感触。导游对笑点拿捏熟练。
潮汕的风景民俗拍得太好了，市井烟火简直要溢出屏幕。
看到片中间的时候，就在想千万不要是俗套的烂结局，一点也不现实。不过，也真有点害怕这片子有过于现实，还是会期待一个圆满的结局。

作为配角的母亲是本片的戏眼，几乎所有亮点、甚至可以说是能让人看得下去的戏都在母亲这一角色的身上。如此一来，主角的戏份则过于鸡肋。应当调整叙事视角与结构，让母亲成为第一主角，从她的角度去迎接儿子带给她的挑战、抵抗与接纳，这样一来故事反而能好看起来。作为一名年轻导演，在影片中融入了不少年轻元素，但是有些剪辑稍显突兀，大部分笑点十分刻意，还是太过于稚嫩。
挺好的，能看出来技术比《爸，我一定行的》进步很多，更流畅更沉得住气。虽然还是有冒犯性的笑点，但大多数笑点是自然舒服的。爱情和亲情的处理细腻，克制，不煽情，有几处被触动的瞬间，可能也是玩具船长的本土配乐太加分了。潮汕美食、潮剧等传统文化不再是简单的情怀植入，它有更自然的叙事功能。虽然主题还是没能跳脱出潮汕年轻人和上一辈的价值观冲突，但这也确实是真实存在的，仍然在被讨论着的。表达不深，但贵在真实且真诚，值得一看，3.5星。
这种语言不通带来的隔阂还真有点让我想到李安的电影，非常特色的潮汕文化，还挺真实的。
妈妈这个演员演的太好了，拿鸡毛掸子打儿子那一段，看得我简直疼在了身上和心上！
属于潮汕的电影，口音比我重很多，演员演技在线。
第一次看自己家乡方言的院线电影，并没有预想中“土”的尴尬，片中大量细节的刻画和本地人才get得到的梗，让我这位离家半年的游子感到十分地亲切。
韩寒真该看看这部电影，就知道他拍的四海就是一坨屎
文化差异太大，实难产生共鸣。当家庭轻喜剧看的，结果平淡的过于无趣。
潮汕的这位妈妈传统思想顽固，但是善良勤劳也怨不起来，多次看到妈妈想掉眼泪
这么个简单到有点土的片子竟然把我感动得稀里哗啦的。音乐也配得太煽了。
故事剧情不复杂
结果意外发现很好看耶 温情 烟火气 台词很有趣 有笑点有泪点 那个戴眼镜介绍对象的邻居阿嫲好逗啊哈哈哈
是部好电影 超出我的预期
手机镜头的运用。
寻常巷陌的潮汕风情看着很舒服，故事非常普通，几乎没有戏剧冲突，更像是一段纪录片。男主的人设不错，但演员演的有点麻木，看表情你以为他应该一切都成竹在胸，结果啥也没搞定。看了大半天到机场以为好歹有点高潮了，结果又平平淡淡，虽然你讲的是一段普普通通的生活故事，但也不能照着Vlog去拍吧。
