  Out this week from Celluloid Dreams is a lost giallo nugget from 1968, A HYENA IN THE SAFE, from director Cesare Canevari. What happens when a group of thieves reunite after a major diamond heist to divvy up the dosh in a luxurious castle? Murder, mayhem, and stylish high-tech TEN LITTLE INDIANS-esque backstabbing, set to a catchy, brassy score, of course! Barely released until its recent rediscovery, Celluloid Dreams presents this film in a gorgeous transfer with glittering extras, including location tours, crew recollections, and a deep dive commentary by CD's own Guido Henkel.
