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.
整部电影都无不充填着传教者的伪善，但我在塔米菲的妈妈去世时妈妈归还的大衣和从妈妈遗体中摘下的眼镜时落泪了，这种悲伤一直延续到电影结束，甚至延绵自我写下这段话，全片最真切的情感莫过于母亲对女儿的爱和循循善诱
颁奖季八股文般传记片，也只有主角演技值得看
Oscar level performance, Jessica!
不难看也不好看，剧本太平了讲述的东西都很表面。
颁奖季传记片一般也就看个表演，电影没有特别出彩的点。
演技没得说，但是这个题材的确不是我的菜。
背景故事其实很宏大很有意思，但是电影不太行。。
当你们都在嘲笑我的妆容的时候，我只想的是让上帝祝福你们。
塔米菲大多数篇幅都很美，但老年妆的表演还是十分震撼，有点感动
为上帝工作，就有无尽的权力与金钱，古往今来皆是如此……这是借口还是考验……
非常平庸的传记片，这部电影对塔米菲到底是什么态度？仅仅是写她的真诚吗？这够吗？从叙事来说，这部电影给不了解美国电视布道历史的观众来看就是个灾难。但是男女主角的演技实在是太出类拔萃了，尤其是又唱又跳又特效化妆简直如同变了一个人的劳模姐，毫无疑问，今年就是她的奥斯卡封后之时了！
这部对于我来说好像邪典电影……生活中接触过类似虔诚的信徒，觉得实在太诡异了。若每个人都是用生命在演戏，这些人入戏演的比我卖力多了……
影片本身的质量挺糟糕的，剧本很差，导演技法基本为0，基本都是靠劳模姐的表演在硬撑，但这也不是劳模姐最好的表演
Jessica Chastain的影后級表演。比《Judy》好。
这届奥斯卡哪来这么多无聊、难看的真人真事改编？？？？？
还行吧，故事很平，不太懂那么做作的塔米菲如何获得那么大的成功，直到最后的表演，就是很有感染力吧！
最怕Jessica Chastain这种努力型天才。Andrew Garfield似乎是本色出演？
#小两口的午夜影院
现实中女主还东山再起了，电影没有拍出来感觉有点遗憾
