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.
邪神形象塑造得令人眼前一亮，薄膜的包裹，退化的翅膀和肉翅后漂亮的斑点一结合，被造物主抛弃的不完美感油然而生。而且在女主反抗后默默缩回洞里和治愈的行为甚至有一些可爱。另外，女主那狼牙板球拍反击的也太爽了！一个半小时根本不够看，要更多的怪物！
拍的什么狗屎！？剧情不清不楚的？...怪物都比剧情好看，一星给怪物
如果剧本再好一些就更棒了，特效这些都做的很好，演技就好像女主好一些，其他人都不怎样。
氛围营造的非常不错了，一些小细节做的稍微逊色了点，反转也算精彩吧，开放式结局着实脊背发凉的感觉。整体不错，线索收集略差，应该能算的上是近期不错的恐怖片了。
2星半吧，故事比较老套，前一个小时剧情沉闷，最后那盒子里的怪物形象倒是比较怪异，最后结局什么意思，女主也钻进盒子里了吗？
整体还行吧，勉勉强强，总之比那个吹的神乎其神的《灵媒》强不少，多少还有点逻辑。
墙上的鬼脸好像祸具魂哈哈哈，恐怖蜡像馆的女主也老了
低成本老套路，除了最后一幕冥界的场面和最后一扇门打开时的绝望反转。但，总体很牵强，逻辑难自洽。
没头没尾…恐怖气氛全靠演员演，道具场景特效一律从简
整个祭祀仪式背景交代的很模糊 有点摸不着头脑神秘氛围感总体描述的还可以 最后怪物的形象还蛮特别的
数学家的阴谋之数数数到迷失自我的一家人 我有点看不懂明明知道那个房子有问题还回家跟丈夫研究 不能带儿子出来再跟丈夫研究怎么救女儿么？妖怪都得觉得女主再试探他的底线给女主点颜色瞧瞧 这下知道谁是家里老大了吧
高能就在女主被搬去地下室的那一段开始，而结局的开放式也比较引人遐想 究竟黑化 还是没黑化。
虽然看着成本不高，某些细节没有交代清楚，但因为没有期待却收获惊喜，近期不错的类型片
5.4分。前面氛围营造得不错，尤其是女儿开始数数时最佳，但后面自从牛头怪出来以后就完全崩了，还好最后结局又拉回来了一点。邻家女孩变成邻家老妈大战牛头怪😂
女主战胜了自己，才活了下来，最后尝到了箱子怪给的超能力甜头，要黑化了？不过也很有道理，自己可是拥有了一栋楼呀，反正出去也没ID。
好片，值得看，这恐怖得有水平有创意，通往地狱的数字台阶原来是物理学家和魔鬼的一笔交易。诡异事件都是胡思乱想出来的，自然有大把漏洞，看着玩别当真。
脸上蒙层皮
蛮好看的啊，故事是讲好了的，氛围营造的也好，不吓人也是真的，如果换成中式恐怖是真的很阴间，国外地狱那种感受不强烈（可能老外有感觉吧），制作再大点故事在长点就更好了
饰演妈妈的是《24小时》里小强的女儿金姆，片里的女儿显得太老了，松垂的脸部皮肤显得跟妈妈年龄一样大。影片前期的神秘氛围渲染的真不错，吊起了我的好奇心，但也有些问题：1.女儿失踪后父母觉照睡，班照上，心太大了，导演完全不明白该情况下正常父母应有的心态（我丢儿子不到10分钟，自杀的心都有了）。 2. 妈妈不小心把弹力球踢下地窖，球弹下去那么长时间有回音，要是我接着就弄个手电拴着放下去试探，或者第二天买个遥控灯放下去，然后摁灯亮，查看明白到底是啥情况。3.开留声机导致儿子失控，房间里开的那个秘门都不看看里面是啥吗？唱片里的那些话不去找人研究一下？结局肯定是悲剧，要么全家挂了都在地狱，要么山羊魔已经把他家变成了地狱的一部分。影片质量比我预想的要好，我给3星6.5分！
氛围还是可以的，虽然音效起了很大的功劳，建议除了音效以外，在其他方面下一点功夫会更好，这方面可以学一下《危险警告》。虽然没什么新意，恶魔➕老宅，这一老套组合，但也还可以看看，主角都不算太蠢，没有到让人急躁地步，另外有一些学术夹杂，看起来像那么回事儿，最后采用了坏的结局，摆脱了happy ending 的俗套，还是可以拍拍第二部的。
