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.

极简的布景与美到极致的摄影，倒是很好的呈现了舞台效果！让这部戏剧味更浓。而简化的剧情也使故事更紧凑 演绎得也很优秀
三星半 戏剧再大的矛盾冲突其空洞的内容填补不了电影的细节，但风格化的尝试与挑战无疑是成功的。缺席的人在光影上已然惊艳到我一次，这一回表现的更加极致。
想了一下这座城堡甚至可以拍所有莎翁的戏 保留古英语最大程度还原莎翁的戏本，演员在里面反而不重要了其实
绝妙的视觉风格，感觉把黑白光影运用到了极致，呈现的效果超越了一般意义上的复古。但同时也几乎放弃了对原作的任何解读，感觉就像是用影像的形式看了一版set design极其出色但文本保守演绎也没有态度的话剧。
演员们的演技令我叹为观止。
这样的话一年能改很多部戏剧为电影啊
不知道拍摄意义何在，女巫演技惊人，男主也还不错，女主没什么发挥且感觉过于现代。
虽然是黑白影像，但摄影很震撼，女巫塑造得特别好，也是最令人印象深刻的角色。可是台词好难懂，因为基本上像是念莎士比亚的原文，完全没有通俗化，就让人难以跟随下去。虽然不仔细琢磨台词剧情也完全看得懂，但总会觉得容易走神儿。故事还是十分值得一看的，建议电影看完后重新补原著，或提前做些功课会更便于理解。影片相对于原著更突出的是麦克白夫妇是自己不愿意要孩子，而不是不能有孩子这点，让他们更有自主决定权，对自己的选择承担后果，而不是归结于命运。女巫的女演员真的吓人，身体扭曲的影响久久难忘。
属于我看多少遍都看不懂的那种类型的电影~但是4:3x黑白 还是挺好的
其实是地
把舞台剧直接搬上大荧幕大概就是这样了，摄影真是绝了，不过总觉得丹泽尔华盛顿有种违和感
像是一场无人问津的话剧被拍成了黑白电影，绚烂的词藻，夸张又惨白。
4.现代种族价值的改编，黑人的加入，多了点政治正确。
对于莎翁经典的再度演绎，这一版相较于影史上较为著名的奥逊威尔斯和黑泽明的版本，亮点在于黑白摄影和极简的服化道美术，以及更加具有舞台剧质感的表演和置景，所以这一部4：3的画幅更像是看了一场舞台剧。没想到导演是科恩兄弟的哥哥，出品方是影迷的老熟人厂牌A24。
野心和良心不能共存，再伟大的英雄失德失势以后也不过疯子，居然在战斗中去拣王冠被砍头，这一幕设置的太好了。近距离话剧加黑白影展的配置，大爱。演员们的脸和演技全部经受特写镜头考验，还如此干净流畅，厉害啊
3.5星。虽然极简的黑白影像很有个性，但整体观影过程仍然感觉电影是对舞台剧的简单移植。电影本身的力量可能来自于莎翁戏剧文本的力量，除此之外过于简单粗暴的淡出转场，造成了荧幕特有的代入感和共情感缺位。表演上佳，但不统一，割裂感较重。有的戏剧性风格很严重，有的则电影生活化。总而言之，这部片子像是扛着摄像机摄录了一部不错的舞台剧。
再次叹服他们每一版麦克白都好绝活！
看的是105分钟足本。黑人演员好多呀，这回政治正确了。在黑白片里一点都不显肤色。
麦克白的黑白风格，别具一格！
