Gioia made her fortune working as a high-class call girl, but now she runs one of Italy’s top erotic photo magazines for which only the most beautiful women are hired as models. When a perverted psychopath begins killing them off one by one, sending Gioia macabrely staged photos of their corpses, posed to mirror their latest centerfolds, Gioia realizes that to put an end to the horrors and unmask the murderer, she will need to come to terms with a secret in her past which has resulted in all of the bloodshed…

One of director Lamberto Bava’s (A Blade in the Dark) bloodiest and most memorable gialli, DELIRIUM: PHOTO OF GIOIA offers an intricate mystery supplemented by plentiful sadistic kills punctuated by touches of unexpected, nightmarish surrealism. Starring Serena Grandi (Miranda), Daria Nicolodi (Deep Red), David Brandon (Caligula: The Untold Story), George Eastman (Anthropophagus), and genre film siren Capucine (The Exquisite Cadaver) and featuring a score by legendary composer Simon Boswell (Santa Sangre), Vinegar Syndrome is delighted to present the world UHD debut of this sleazy and slasher-influenced treasure of Italian genre cinema, newly and exclusively scanned in 4K from its original negative and including an extensive array of new and archival extras!
