Director Yueh Feng creates an atmosphere of dread very similar to his grim and brutal BELLS OF DEATH (1968). It's not quite as uncompromisingly vicious due to some dramatic flourishes and a less personable tone than BELLS but Feng is very successful in making his villains as barbaric as possible during the films brief 78 minute running time.
 The film is a bit similar to SWORDSWOMEN THREE (1970) which saw release the month prior. There's three women sworn to protect the family heirloom-in SWORDSWOMEN it's the Mighty Steel Blade which acts as a magnet when unsheathed and in COLD STEEL, it's the Violet Light Sword.
 Also, Chang Yi is in both as is Essie Lin Chia. The one disappointing element is that unlike the Mighty Steel Blade, the Violet Light Sword is unimpressive and has no unusual properties aside from glowing when it's pulled from its scabbard.

Although I find much of Yueh Feng's movies pedantic and often times dull, this is not the case here as this is the most action packed film I've seen from the man. Only a marginally lesser film than BELLS OF DEATH (1968), if you are a fan of that film, than you will most definitely enjoy this one.
 Also recommended for those who like their Shaw Brothers movies excessively violent.
