PRESS KIT

Synopsis

One safe. Six keys. Six robbers, each expecting their cut of a diamond heist when they finally meet to divide their spoils after months in hiding. But before they can open the safe that guards their glittering hoard, they are mysteriously killed, one by one.

With fear and suspicion growing among the shrinking group of survivors, it becomes clear that one of them is trying to take all the diamonds for themselves!

Directed and co-written by Cesare Canevari (MATALO!), “A Hyena in the Safe” is a remarkable caper/giallo crossover filled with dark humor and moments of psychedelic glory. The fallout from this heist will make your head spin with its inventive, over-the-top deaths and a free-spirited attitude that only the flamboyant ’60s could produce.

Celluloid Dreams is proud to present this beautifully restored version, bringing the film to high definition for the first time.
