Giallo film finally gets a proper release!,
By Spider Labyrinth (TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knife Of Ice (DVD)
"Knife of Ice" (aka Il coltello di ghiaccio)is a very good rare Italian giallo film from great director, Umberto Lenzi. Lenzi has done several great gialli films, including: Eyeball(his best giallo), Spasmo, Orgasmo, Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, So Sweet So Perverse, Oasis of Fear, and other horror/thriller greats. "Knife of Ice" also stars Carroll Baker, an actress he's worked with a few times in his giallo films. Not heavy on the gore at all, but a stylish and classic mystery thriller!!!!!! Lets hope more Lenzi gialli films get a proper dvd release!!!

Speak No Evil,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knife Of Ice (DVD)
In the late sixties, American actress Carroll Baker made some excellent thriller and exploitation films in Europe. This Giallo thriller 'KNIFE OF ICE' aka 'IL COLTELLO DI GHIACCIO' was the third film Baker made with Italian Director Umberto Lenzi who was in the midst of unleashing a series of Giallo and Horror films in the early seventies. With the onset of such thrillers as 'WAIT UNTIL DARK' with Audrey Hepburn and the British 'SEE NO EVIL' with Mia Farrow where a major actress is cast as a handicapped damsel in distress , this film is a breath of fresh air with an intelligent script by Lenzi, catchy progressive music by Marcello Giombini and crisp photography by Jose F. Aquayo Hijo making it way ahead of its time in its construction. The cast has great red herrings such as the great Eduardo Fajardo and Evelyn Stewart who both graced many Spaghetti Westerns but Carroll Baker shines as our handicapped heroine holding her own up to the surprising climax. Recommended for fans of Euro Horror and just great refined thrillers which delivers the goods straight forwardly. One of Lenzi's best, it deserves a better reputation and Wham USA has delivered a beautiful 2.35 widescreen transfer just for that purpose.

This review is from: Knife Of Ice (DVD)
Umberto Lenzi made some fantastic movies in his career , his earlier ones were all decent genre types until the late sixties when he made "orgasmo", "kriminal", and "a quiet place to kill" two of those featured carrol baker and they were excellent thrillers. This was a decent thriller and is not as good as many of those awesome movies. But it is a good movie by any standard and while not as great as the two other Baker movies this one is good entertainment and Lenzi makes a solid movie here that does feature a insane murderer. It's not a violent movie though like the classic "eyeball" (probably one of the best giallos ever) but then this is a good murder mystery movie and finally it's available in the U.S.I bought a 50.00 japanese import version to get this movie and you can have it for far less. If only Umberto would come out of retirement to give us a solid giallo again. This print seems to be the same one as the import version and it looks pretty good. Now if only they will get out the other Baker-Lenzi films out and someone needs to get "Eyeball" out in the u.s. as well.
