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.
续集在恐怖类型桥段上完成度还行，但故事反转太失败，刻意不可信外，似乎也是在强行洗白老头，一方坏并不能合理化另一方的错。
洗白大会？可能挺精彩的吧，但是画面太黑，看不清演了什么。
属于一眼就能猜到结局的电影
天杀的导演和编剧，第三部只能拍老头前传或者小女孩后传了。闯入者数量和力量方面全面升级，可惜后半部分没有前半部分精彩，期待已久的小女孩和老头联手大杀四方的画面并没有出现，反而是一出简化版的飓风营救，希望续集能有惊喜
B级片可以不在乎故事逻辑，可是动作逻辑也莫名其妙。
变态夫妻为生计走上犯罪道路，上演“偷心”之旅；七旬退役老兵John Wick附体，率导盲犬大杀四方。
见过史蒂芬朗一次，帅呆。座头市有次和瞎眼法师讲他的“圆”是多少距离——法师比他远，朗的圆一般，血槽巨厚。ps这个萝莉不行，下次换一个吧。以及颠覆风云里好莱坞主角绝不能杀狗的理论再次应证。
老头在这一部实力浮动很大，也丧失了第一部的冷酷邪恶劲儿，洗白就更无语，而且洗白为啥要立马搞死，立不住的。后面闯毒贩老巢马马虎虎，最精彩的还是前面屋里捉迷藏。
失望，导演已经技穷了，节奏很拖沓，动作戏也不过瘾，没有第一部密室杀戮关门打狗玩得溜，溜得爽，导演显然也不想再拍续集了，本来可以搞成美国盲侠座头市系列的，结果拍成了这个杀手不太冷的套路，可是，能不能找个可爱、灵动一点的女孩呢，里面这小孩还是差点意思，还好狗狗叛徒比较萌，总之狗比人讲感情。
明显续集更狠更血腥了！由惊悚转动作暴力，小女孩先砍母亲的手，又戳死父亲，小细节铃铛，水波，前半部小女孩躲坏人的镜头设计也不错，虽然躲避的路线有点逻辑不通。可惜的是，最后空间转换，都聚焦在房子里就更好了，但仍然希望这个系列继续拍下去！#生活那么苦了，需要虐杀片解闷
恐怖动作片 老兵实惨 上一部丢了钱 这部丢了狗丢了房丢了命
亲生父母猪狗不如。养父看不见，倒也重情重义。
相比较于第一部的惊悚，这一部更偏向于血腥暴力的动作，所以故事就相对简单，直观来说我觉得看的真的很爽。伦理挑战方面到是有所延续，亲生父母找到女儿竟然是为了她的心脏，最后小女孩还亲手弑杀双亲，哈哈哈，故事够劲爆，老头子成功洗白，整体上超级刺激，剧情推进很快，不过照着这个方向发展，可能真的从悬疑惊悚向犯罪动作转变了。
第二部成了没有新意的同犯罪分子的电影。还是希望第一部的bitch出来受死。千万不要有第三部了。不屏住呼吸好像完全没有问题。
看到一个小时就从屋里出去了 我还在担心后面能怎么吓唬我 事实证明我还是太年轻！人能有多坏 我确实没估量到。小萝莉挥刀斩她妈胳膊 砍死她爸 真过瘾！当成年人的世界已经污秽不堪 孩童又怎能保有童真！
我不李姐，无论性转这个杀手不太冷还是大叔，小男孩儿的设定也太弱鸡了...
这姑娘不跑偏的话，未来可能是韩国影圈的一面旗。故事很简单，完全靠演员撑起来的一部片子，娴熟的流水线作业，节奏、画面、气氛都是非常成熟的商业电影。
女版的“大叔”，开头的第一单任务飙车戏设计的很棒，但是后期全力去保护小男孩就显得很突兀
铃铛和烟雾弹很妙。本来可惜老爷子死了，彩蛋来看，还能活着有续集。
75/100 不如第一部，尤其是后期愈发的崩，但运镜和氛围依旧厉害
