Director Lamberto Bava's DELIRIUM opens with a big photo shoot for Pussycat magazine involving bizarre, choreographed groping. Gloria (Serena Grandi) owns the publication, and seems quite bored with it all. Her mood soon changes when her models start dying in awful ways!
Filled with the requisite gore and nudity, what sets this movie apart from its peers is the way the killer views his victims before they die, as well as the postmortem posing of their bodies. Some very novel makeup effects were used to create a nightmarish vision, befitting of the movie's title.
From the killer's standpoint, this is all about transformation. Bava gets this across effectively, making us see, not only what the murderer sees, but how he sees it. A chilling giallo to say the least.
Co-stars George Eastman.
