Spider Labyrinth 4K Ultra HD marks the worldwide UHD premiere of one of the most elusive and mysterious titles in Italian horror cinema. The debut feature and only horror film from director Gianfranco Giagni, Spider Labyrinth remained notoriously difficult to see for decades, gaining cult status through reputation alone. Now fully restored, it emerges as a hypnotic blend of occult horror, erotic obsession, and surreal nightmare logic.
 
When an American professor is sent to Budapest to complete a cryptic research project, he finds himself trapped in a disorienting maze of secret societies, sexual provocation, ritual violence, and arachnid terror. Starring Roland Wybenga, William Berger, and Stéphane Audran, the film unfolds like a fever dream, supported by unsettling special effects from Sergio Stivaletti and a haunting score by Franco Piersanti.
 
Newly scanned in 4K from the original vault negative at Cinecittà, this two-disc edition presents Spider Labyrinth in its definitive form and includes over four hours of newly produced special features exploring the film’s themes, influences, and long-suppressed legacy.
