Danger: Diabolik - The Masters of Cinema Series - Limited Edition /2000 (4K Ultra HD + Bluray)

Danger: Diabolik (1968) joins Eureka Entertainment’s acclaimed Masters of Cinema Series in a Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray release, presenting Mario Bava’s stylish Italian comic-book crime thriller in 2160p 4K with Dolby Vision HDR. Limited to just 2,000 copies, this premium edition includes a hardbound collector’s case, exclusive 60-page book, three audio commentaries, and an extensive selection of new and archival supplements.

Directed by legendary Italian filmmaker Mario Bava, Danger: Diabolik adapts Angela and Luciana Giussani’s influential Diabolik comics for the screen. John Phillip Law stars as Diabolik, a brilliant masked master thief whose elaborate crimes continually frustrate Inspector Ginko and the authorities. Alongside his glamorous partner Eva Kant (Marisa Mell), Diabolik sets his sights on increasingly audacious targets while remaining one step ahead of those determined to capture him.

Blending crime, action, comic-book fantasy, psychedelic 1960s style, and Bava’s distinctive visual direction, Danger: Diabolik has become a cult favorite of European pop cinema. The film also stars Michel Piccoli, Adolfo Celi, and Terry-Thomas, with a memorable score by Ennio Morricone.
