1964年Mississippi(密西西比,我的印象中一直不太好,名字都那么怪)的Nioba,一个非常黑暗的夜晚,Eli MacCleary和Caroline夫妇的车子在路上抛了锚,Eli独自前往找救援,留下Caroline在车上,他回来时发现太太倒在路边的树林里,她被强奸了。不久,Caroline怀孕生下儿子Michael。 转眼十七年过去了,如今的Michael得了一种怪病,肿瘤压迫脑垂体使他经常发狂,不能自制,还有他那特殊的化学反应机制,这些都被医生认为是遗传病,但Eli和Caroline知道儿子不是他们的,为了找到真正的原因,他们又回到那个他们不愿提起的地方——Nioba,也从此揭开一个陈年的惊世奇案(或许叫做“奇冤”吧!)。原来,强奸Caroline的是Billy Connors,他与另一名在当地臭名昭著的Lionel Curwin的妻子通奸,被Lionel所在地窖里,饿极之下已失去理智,但Lionel有时会从表兄弟那里拿一些人的尸体回来喂他。后来,Lionel却不知被什么给撕碎吃掉了一部分,房子也给烧了,并成了墓地。知情的只有家族里的少数几人。在那个夜晚,Billy把仇恨种在了Caroline的身上。如今的Michael夜晚会四处寻找当年与Lionel有关的人,并把他们杀了,这种仇恨太可怕了·,一切已经不受控制……。 影评: 一部精神病和基因变异的的电影,故事讲得比较好,从科学理论上好像有点依据,只是时间上讲不过去。因为背景在密西西比的沼泽,使影片的气氛比较阴暗,但娱乐元素很丰富。电影里一直留有一个疑团到最后才揭晓,那就是Connors和Curwin家的那段仇恨的原因,可惜被我不小心在剧情里透露了出来。Ronny Cox曾在我们熟悉的《铁甲威龙》里饰演反面角色。总的来说,题材上是一部比较成功的B级制作电影。信鬼神的可认为是Michael被附了身,信科学的则......。

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.
