07/16/2016 The models posing for a nudie magazine are bumped off one at a time and photos of the corpses sent to the woman who owns the magazine. Who could the killer be? Daria Nicolodi? Capucine? The creepy kid across the street who makes obscene phone calls? Honestly, I didn't really care. As late period giallos go, it was better than most, but it had a chintzy aura to it that made it kind of unpleasant to sit through. Apparently Argento was attached at one point but left due to script changes. Good idea. See more 05/27/2015 Enjoyable but comes of as quite silly at times. The amount of planning the killer had to do for his/her schemes to come off was quite high (much like Jigsaw in the Saw franchise). Some great scenes, and a decent enough mystery. See more 08/10/2013 Standard Giallo fare with extra flare. See more 05/18/2013 A series of never ending WTF moments. Gotta love a crazy giallo flick. See more 09/02/2012 So-so Bava giallo that has some creative elements but overall just doesn't deliver since there's no gore, minimal violence and an unsympathetic lead. See more 07/17/2011 Serena Grandi gets a great English voiceover; and Vanni Corbellini gets one of the most ludicrous ones I've ever heard. Delirium is well-edited but the red herrings are so untethered to the plot, everything gets slowed down and sludgy. As Gloria, Serena Grandi is the kind of large-breasted woman Hollywood executives want to cast as an A-list heroine but decide instead to be covert about their prurience. The opposite of covert: A young neighbor in a wheelchair gets a free pass -- Gloria feels sorry for him -- to call up the ex-centerfold and and tell her explicitly and roughly how much he wants her body. That kind of male honesty a Hollywood executive can only aspire to. Frankly, he's a kind of surrogate for all the men in the audience ogling Ms. Grandi's breasts in the bathtub, and he's a stand-in for male hyper-sexuality, chained down to a wheelchair and glowering.
