Saint Simon, a deranged and manic painter, believes that he is the reincarnation of Vincent van Gogh. When his beautiful wife dies unexpectedly, Simon suffers an emotional breakdown and insists that his necrophiliac butler, Hermann, help remove her corpse from the cemetery and bring it back to his castle to help him retain his creativity; placing the body on display inside of a hidden crypt. Still struggling with his art, Simon soon meets a young woman named Sybille, who bears a striking resemblance to his late wife, and lures her back to the castle with the intention of making her into his new muse. Trapped inside, Sybille must find a way to escape the horrors taking place within the castle walls, as Simon has recently discovered that human blood may hold the key to unlocking his true creative potential.

"The slipcase, packaging, and transfer on Blood Delirium look great. The movie itself is a trip, but thankfully it doesn't let plot get in the way of a good time. Not the most coherent story, but it's certainly entertaining. The bonus interviews with the actors and assistant director were interesting, and helped shed some light on what the hell Bergonzelli was thinking"
"Bergonzelli's late 80s remake of Color Me Blood Red is a tasteless trash fest and in this case that means maximum entertainment. Kind hard to believe this was straight to video as it seems like something released earlier in the decade during the prime years. Bergonzelli also directed the bananas In The Folds Of The Flesh, so you know you're in for a good time. Really nice looking transfer plus some good extras (interviews, commentary) make this a no-brainer."
"Loved this one. Bizarre in the best way. Don't go in looking for a coherent plot."
"Ordered this for a gift on may 26 and i just received it today 7/6. It was a gift and obviously is late. When i ordered online i never received any info that it was halfway to Black Friday and it wouldnt ship for a month. When i emailed, the rep could have cares less. Not buying from again"
"The sleeve was beautiful and nice design. The music score was nice and the transfer excellent."
"Blind buy, did not expect this having not read any reviews. Bonkers movie, dont regret buying!"
"Super cool slipcover and weird film. I love it."
"Vinegar Syndrome’s blu ray release of Blood Delirium gives this delirious slice of Italian horror a vivid, almost hallucinatory presence. The film’s blend of gothic excess, manic energy, and unhinged performances has always lived in the realm of cult obscurity, but this restoration pushes it forward with a clarity that enhances its fever dream qualities. The transfer is the standout. Colors are bold and saturated, especially in the film’s surreal lighting schemes and ornate interiors. Grain is intact without becoming distracting, giving the movie a textured, tactile feel that suits its heightened style. Shadows hold detail, and the more chaotic sequences retain coherence instead of collapsing into murk. It is the best the film has ever looked, and the upgrade makes its wild aesthetic feel intentional rather than accidental. Vinegar Syndrome’s presentation also highlights the film’s eccentric tone. The disc’s supplements explore the production’s chaotic history and the creative choices that shaped its blend of gothic melodrama and splatter theatrics. Interviews and archival materials help frame the film as a late period oddity in Italian horror, one that embraces excess with gleeful abandon. This release treats Blood Delirium as a genuine cult artifact, restoring its lurid visuals and giving fans a definitive way to experience its madness. It is a boutique upgrade that respects the film’s strange identity and lets its fevered imagination shine."
"Great deal, definitely worth grabbing on sale. Artwork alone is great!"
"This film was a wild ride. It was like it was a lot of different genres thrown into a blender. It tried to be an arthouse kind of film, but it is sleazy as heck. It also tries to be a horror film but veers into camp. I bought this after watching the director's In The Folds Of The Flesh which was all kinds of WTF moments. I would watch this if you like to watch out there films that leave you in a fever dream."
