简介：1：...And All Through the House这个故事讲述一名在圣诞前夕谋杀了自己丈夫的女子正在处理尸体之际，曾在广播中报道过的一名有着强烈杀人倾向并乔装成圣诞老人的模样变态却逃窜到她家附近，而这时的她却无法报警....2：Reflection of Death一名男子为了私奔，不惜抛妻弃子，深夜与情人驾车逃离本来的居处，可是在路上却发生了令人异想不到的恐怖事件，这个故事十分精彩，后期的《小岛惊魂》，甚至是《死神来了》等很多恐怖片的灵感来源都可以在这个故事里得到充分体现3：Poetic Justice讲述两名冷酷势力的父子，为了赶走他们一向讨厌的邻居，用尽残忍冷酷的手段而逼死他人并最终得到报复的故事，这个故事非常传统，剧情也几近老套，但是由于老牌演员Peter Cushing那令人惊叹，入木三分的表演而提高到了另一个层次，让观众深深为故事里那位受尽排挤，但却善良孤独的老人而同情悲愤。
简介：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 andor 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.
