回复 : 模特西尔维娅·奥尼尔（乔亚·斯科拉饰）和她的同事劳伦、米歇尔和莱斯利（兰迪·英格曼、赫拉娜·耶酥和诺拉·阿里芬饰）正在与可疑的经纪公司老板亚历克斯·康蒂签约。当与导演大卫拍摄广告时，富商里兹意识到了她们。他勒索亚历克斯，让他去引诱西尔维娅去他家参加一个假聚会，最终里兹强奸了她……第二天早上，西尔维娅烧焦的尸体在一场车祸中被发现，对布兰达尼局长来说，如果不是因为她头上的弹孔的话，起码一开始这看起来像是一场意外。导演大卫，目前正在拍摄一个音乐视频，他遇到了美丽的美国人梅兰妮罗伯茨（弗罗伦丝格林 饰），以替代西尔维亚的工作。但随后凶杀案开始了，利用专门为音乐视频制作的凶杀工具，它似乎想对西尔维亚的死进行蒙面的未知报复。
回复 :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.
