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.
商业爽片，借佛头这一主线，整体节奏不错，起码有局中局的结构，葛优又演FuGui却带来大多数的笑点，剧情有很多省略的地方这时候各营销号该跳出来喷了，电影这波不是很行甚至都没磕cp……
PS:有点为了李现来看的，结果妈的李现好油腻好普信好傻逼，他除了演青春的能好点，剩下真的油普信男啊！
但还是原谅它 因为看过了门锁
年代感做得不错，郭子健的本土化远远超过李仁港版盗墓笔记。看得出想打造中国版《国家宝藏》，但离全年龄段学校包场电影还多点粗粝，少点温情。葛优的表演节奏跟其他人不在一个频道上，不过还是挺出彩，虽然结局硬煽痕迹重了点。
高仿的赝品，方方面面都卡在一个尴尬的位置，试着跟人物，跟事件，跟逗趣，都没能跟着看下去……🙂
形式感太过，剧情太标准，像是按照磨具刻的仿品，没有灵魂，大赝。
至于其他，无功无过，懒得评价。

不管原著多么严谨精彩，我看的是电影！电影的剧本明显打磨不够，漏洞百出，而且为了双雄争胜的套路，生硬的制造可行性。最后的洗白也够弱智，你把真佛头弄在假佛头里送给日本人难道就不是送了？既然假佛头足可乱真，为何不把真的藏起来再把假的送出去，别说怕老朝奉找到，一个造假组织你当是神啊；别说书里怎么完美圆回来的，TMD我看部电影难道还得买本书来补充剧情？也就是演员还不错，能让人无脑的看下去。国内市场这么好了，希望电影人们能够好好爱护珍惜，拍摄前先沉下心打磨好剧本，别只顾着圈钱，伤了根基。
改编很大，跟小说完全不一样。但故事还挺好，剧情迭起紧凑，特效也很好。是一部很出色的商业片。
真的很一般，故事很燃很炸很煽情，看完不知道他讲了个啥，几个演员莫名其妙哭的点也很奇怪。
地摊文学：一个酒鬼带领美女打破偏见，冲破迷雾，最后一刻站在舞台上破解惊天阴谋，让众人仰视。剧情专供屌丝意淫。
主创想做局中局，结果聪明反被聪明误，不伦不类，漏洞百出。
电影告诉我们，跟儿子说话最好用嘴，怕泄密也可以让兄弟付贵传话，硬要用古董绕着圈子说最后会害死付贵。
每个人都那么油腻，摄影是怎么做到的？造型是啥啊？emmm……只有葛优和郑家后人的戏份合格，人物立得住。雷佳音要不要每次都是颓废➕脏兮兮的造型，不知道还以为从刺杀小说家穿越过来呢，这样复制粘贴真的好？！造型师你还能够潦草一点。辛芷蕾一直都没接到能发挥个人特色的角色，实属可惜。大红棉袄都比她抢戏！李现这台词功力暴露无遗，说的什么鬼？！剧本完全缺乏打磨的作品。多好一题材，废了！
也不敷衍，但就是浑身不对劲？辛老师感觉被浪费了，工具人身份太突兀。除了雷葛咏和缺眉毛的反派在戏里，其他人都有一种念完这句词，这趴就可以过去了的切割感。
不知道这一圈人是为的啥，出门左拐左拐左拐再左拐就到家了？
无论是几百年的古董家族，还是八十年代的古玩协会，还是集体造假村，演的太假，跟普通人一点共鸣都没有。
至于电影，有一种绵软无力的感觉，戏剧冲突或张力不足，本来是个闯关游戏，可是节奏太拖了。美术设计不错。
许愿、药不然比武那一段的特效做得不错，是小说无法比拟的，其他都一般。#20220131
