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.
主题立意还是有些探讨性的，结局很悲伤，但存有一丝悲怆的暖意……
克隆人的技术都那么成熟了，为什么不能将本人完全复制粘贴过去呢？只是重新造了一个拥有自己记忆和所有生物特征的人，那这个技术又有什么意义呢？还是不能达到“永生”，只是找了一个自己的替代品，这种事情给人带来的冲击感和孤独感太难让人接受了，就好像让一个机器人或者陌生人来代替自己继续和家人生活一样。影片在伦理和个人情绪的描绘上做的不错。
阳光温暖我的脸庞
今时今日如果再单纯讲述克隆人是独立个体——即便带着原型的全部记忆——已毫无新意，于是本片将这一并不新鲜的设定嫁接到了个体为家庭奉献的美国中产核心价值观上，拍出了新意。
本应探讨克隆深层次的矛盾，最后被廉价的情感替代了。
或是知道未来的一切不再与我有关
——2022.4.1 愚人节
无论是临终告别还是爱和你能否克隆继续，都是非常喜欢的母题，气氛表演美术都可谓优质极点，但仿佛还是差了点什么，框架和表达多于情感和真挚。
一部化繁为简真挚动人的科幻家庭故事。马赫沙拉·阿里的表演就是这个片子的一切，所有的一眸一笑都是剧情本身，导演也是继《口吃》之后充分信任和发挥演员的肢体语言。故事本身其实比较浅显，情节量也不够，节奏过于缓慢，但也正是这样的呈现充分放大了马赫沙拉·阿里的影帝级别的表演。没有复杂的视听和狗血剧情，娓娓道来随风潜入夜一般告诉你该如何在死亡面前和家人好好告别。结尾那一声声我爱你，让我忍不住颤抖落泪。害怕死亡，也害怕告别。（配乐画龙点睛）
如果妻子是克隆人，还能感受到一丝温情。苹果定制片，苹果设计理念大赏。
阳光温暖我的脸庞
是节奏缓慢而抒情的电影，里面呈现的生活方式，很像是苹果的长篇广告
在克隆题材下，选择没有野心的“托孤告别”。其实是老生常谈的话题，但是高科技的环境下，电影有了同一人一心两面的刻画可能。站在两个角度上的同一个人可以有镜像般的面对。接受死亡、接受自己的破败、接受另外的可能，而从另一个角度，这也是对自己的相信。马赫沙拉·阿里太稳了。
对死亡的恐惧时常让人错失了好好告别的机会。科技 伦理的课题还要讨论太久，也许永远没有答案。
如果把片长从112分钟缩短到12分钟，就好了。
看的过程中做了各种复杂设想，没想到是个伦理片。
再见你一次
惊叹，马赫沙拉阿里真的是黑人演员中的绝对翘楚，新一代的领军人物。他真的，一次都没让我失望过。甚至次次都能或多或少地超出一些预期。即使这次的故事文本极其平庸。
哇，这个剧情脑洞真的算是很赞，从深处剖析了人性，从表层的接收“被抛弃”，到后面看到克隆体的瞬间拒绝，再到被迫接收，再到冲突的产生，再到从中发现了真实，最后欣然接受“被抛弃”，嗯，真的挺震撼的。
两个人的相遇火车上吃错巧克力。我觉得这部电影动人在展现了男人的纠结，他做出了决定一方面又有担心和舍不得，但是妻子怀孕了，他需要留下一个可以守护她的人。黑人演员的演技非常真挚，双角色扮演难度应该挺大的。
