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.
3.新歌《The anonymous ones》《A litter closer》已加入歌单。
不过还是比本来就不适合电影的猫好一点😂
掉san的最大原因不是男主，而是整个用拍恐怖片的手法给了运镜和演员reaction……演员挺努力了
本来以为是最适合拍成电影的音乐剧……
虽然但是，you will be found一出来真的哭爆哇呜呜呜呜
抱着很低的期待看的，结果还可以，并没有那么差啊
70/100。若不是话题选的好，很可能会拥有像《猫》一样不忍直视的成片：由音乐剧形式转化为电影形式的不可调和性使得本片让人一方面觉得感同身受，另一方面却又觉得做作尴尬，尤其是几处人物歌唱式的爆发，可能在舞台上的效果是很正确的，却在银幕上会变成无可挽回的灾难。不过幸而我们依然能在本片中看出对于青少年心理健康的关心，读出一种在颤颤巍巍中抓住希望的力量，悟出看似灰白色的生命中你可以通过拥抱周围而拥有的坚韧与执着。Ben Platt的表演更加深了这一点的呈现，可能他的年龄超标了，但是他的表演却是刚刚好的。 @2021-09-26 21:39:58
这是今年最最最最喜欢的音乐剧，电影表达出了音乐剧本来的意思，结局不圆满反而更真实了，本来，人生本来就没有guarantee你会被found
大型mv+快闪。请问为什么要删父母的歌……
其实很想打三星半 看完之后会觉得很平平 可是闭上眼 歌词却会出现 “When you’re falling in a forest and there’s nobody around / Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?” 抑郁 人际关系 家庭 逃不开 躲不过 太痛苦了
电影呈现和剧情本身都一般，演员演的很牛b 估计会拿表演奖. 连音乐也没有想回放的
不知道咋评价……看完心情复杂（多少有点第一次看生肉的因素）。760
年轻时候喜欢的类型片到了30还是会喜欢的。从歌舞青春到Glee，从星运里的错到致埃文汉森。
一眼看出alana是饥饿游戏里的rue，剧情整体就是北美版伤痕文学mix贫富差距mix开头忽然xx自杀了一切发生了变化，都是非常熟悉的元素；男主没有把个人转变的过程演绎好，反而显得人很猥琐；3.5/5
作为2016年看过Ben Platt现场的人，能坚持完137分钟全靠情怀和sing-along... 音乐剧改编成电影需要解决的首要问题就是演唱片段如何自然不突兀，以及如何充实情节，让故事不会过于单薄。从这个意义上来说，本片是完全失败的。编剧就是音乐剧编剧本人，显然缺乏重新审视故事的勇气和魄力，想当然的加了一个故事线（表面外向实则默默承受抑郁症的女孩），砍掉一首人物歌曲（Cornor父亲的棒球手套），却没有能解决原剧中就比较明显的结尾问题，导致整部电影节奏混乱拖沓，多个场面极度尴尬，白瞎了一众戏骨。不过这部电影让人惊叹于肌肉记忆的持久，过去了这么多年，Ben早从青少年长成了成年人，唱起那些歌的表情，呼吸的位置和手势都跟当年在舞台上分毫不差...
改的这么差我是没有想到的，明明是个很能引人共情的剧本，删掉太多细节导致情感过渡不流畅，舞台剧上过于用力的表演并不适合电影
better than I thought 不是很懂音乐剧和改编音乐剧etc 但是感觉Evan的歌声一直到speech那里才变得diegetic 这个设计感觉挺妙的 但总的来说欣赏不太来建立在谎言上的故事 而且Connor的可怜之处交代的不是很清楚 不清楚为什么一直到最后Evan都是阴阳脸打光 the ending is not bad tho
太不适合改成电影了 看在歌的份儿上 真的 太难看了
Ben Platt在大银幕再演这个角色实在是显得有点老了 他的同学都像他的侄子侄女
This is really more of a 3.5/5 but I'm rounding the score up just to stick it to the critics.
