Knife of Ice (1972)
7/10
Very Good Giallo
12 March 2023
This surprisingly wholesome giallo features a seemingly sweet and hard-done mute woman, a kindly old grandpa, and a child. Literally no one is ever naked, there's no sex, and the only drugs are done by an unfortunate hippie hanging out in the graveyard wearing the world's funniest contact lenses to prove how "crazed" he is.

I enjoyed this little Spanish-Italian film because it seemed to take the typical suspense film of the 1960s and turn it into something considerably darker in a reasonably intelligent and subtle way. Even when the twist came, I thought it was going to be a different twist than it actually was. YMMV.
