Delirium (1987)
7/10
Lamberto Bava delivers a decent late Giallo
8 June 2020
Delirium is a far cry from the beautiful classics of the 1960's and '70's, but even so it is a decent entry for the second half of the 1980's. Models are getting brutally murdered by an unknown assassin, nothing original in that respect, but Delirium is typical of erotic thrillers from this period, no full frontal nudity but plenty of naked female breasts on show and soft core sex, including pop star Sabrina. Hair is permed, shoulder pads are wide and there is that 80's staple the smoke machine. The script is laughably bad at times, "I warn you, the hate of a woman can be very bad!", and we got cops handling suspected murder weapons without wearing gloves, and so on. And in good, old giallo fashion there are several red herrings. Delirium is very colourful, has a cast of well known Italian genre stars, some tense scenes, plenty of nudity and some good kills, although not terribly gory.
