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.
故事弱了点。但可见出导演野心和潜力都不小。前后风格处理不一致，有精彩段落，成篇控制力稍差。国产武指和意境营造不错，特地加1星以资鼓励。
干净利索，剧情简单一下就猜到，但是分镜和节奏都不错，好看。但，琵琶女回去是干嘛的？送死吗？没贡献没必要，一大败笔。最后，没有看到有逼格的镜头语言，当然，还是很扎实的。
武打戏有当年的味道了，但服化道已经不是以倭代唐了，是指倭为唐！可惜了谢苗
虽是网大，粗中有细，老套武侠，就当作是为了这两场动作戏拍一部电影，也无不可。
算个短片吧，但结构很紧凑，故事线也简单，功夫的展现很扎实，算是值得推荐的网络电影。
很喜欢这种类型的侠客 一方面他因为身体（武功）的残缺厌弃自己 一方面他仍然热爱那些成就自身的事物（武功）他是正义公道 他是侠客义士 他是认清现实与永远炽热……但是他太符号化了 人物塑造方面甚至不如宇文英深刻
但是故事情节就太....简单了，完全就是不服就干的节奏
现如今武侠片的没落有目共睹，伴随着的也是“侠义”精神无人再提。现实里我们相信政府的法度，不再需要侠义逞能；思想上我们更在乎自身、拜金慕强，心中的正义早就换了定义。拍拍复仇的，仙侠晋级的多好，还拍行侠仗义类型是真不讨好，更别说视觉风格如此独特的武侠电影，虽然借鉴嫌疑，亦是难得的勇气。为勇气加一颗星！
有点矛盾.
很难得，都多久没看过新的武侠片了，上次还是剑雨。导演好会拍，谢苗依然稳，期待下一部片上院线。
一个小时讲了一个完整的故事。美中不足的是琴娘这条线太弱了，有点像为了给演员加戏匆匆多写了几笔，从剧情上看这琴娘完全就是个大冤种。前传后传都挺好写，值得期待。
前段时间看完青面修罗后，感叹过中国武侠渐凋零，现在来看，也许也没有那么不堪吧。
短小利落，动作舒畅，难得的合格武侠片，值得嘉奖
网络电影天花板！谢苗翻身之作！有浪客剑心那味道了，期待可以扩展这个宇宙！
一点也不像一个完整的作品，像面试的时候在portfolio里显示的一个sample。打斗戏都很好看，故事逻辑也非常简单。但是挺好看的，我觉得刀马的扮演者有了！
谢苗现在是不是网大动作电影首席男星？故事依旧简单，盲剑客的设定不由让人想到座头市，最后决战秒小喽啰那一下怎么这么像志志雄？和时装片相比，眼盲的设定放在武侠片里非常合适，因为几乎没有啥影响，甚至还能激发出远超常人的嗅觉和听觉（不过反派屠杀酒家女时那么大动静他竟然没听到，所以説编剧还得再下点功夫啊），动作设计简洁明快，剧情一目了然，电影名字一语双关，服化道也很考究，除了BOSS较弱和动作场面多局限于室内，（但是也有雨战和雪战，很诚心了）其它的地方都很挺不错的，几乎是近几年的武侠片里最符合武侠片要求的了

谢苗的打戏真的帅！就凭他的打戏，我都要给五颗星！
中规中矩的网络武侠电影，受限于体量问题整个故事比较简单单一，但好就好在就是这份质朴让本片看起来特别有以前内味，路见不平一声吼该出手时就出手，大侠眼瞎心不瞎，有点帅的。（雪中屠戮敌手全家一场戏创意不错，火遁之术出乎意料）
