User Review

With funding from Dino De Laurentiis, Mario Bara attempted to adapt the cult Italian comic book series Diabolik for the screen. The main character is Diabolik, a handsome and intelligent villain who competes in cunning not only with police inspector Giynko, but also with crime syndicate boss Valmont. The result was mediocre.

Shortly before that, De Laurentiis had produced an adaptation of the Barbarella comics. Both ideas were financially supported by Paramount Pictures, so success seemed a foregone conclusion. But problems began immediately. First, due to disagreements with the lead actor John Phillip, Catherine Deneuve, who was originally planned for the role of Diabolik's girlfriend Eva, left the project. Second, Mario Bava, who was used to working with a small budget, couldn't handle the pressure of big money. As a result, the film only resembles a blockbuster in places. Mostly, what stands out are the cheap special effects, poor combined filming, and the absurdity of the plot.

But! There is music by Ennio Morricone and psychedelic design solutions that allow you to enjoy the spectacle on screen, especially if you ignore the producer's name and relax to the waves of the director's imagination. This is probably how cult status is born.
