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…

"Another extremely enjoyable & extremely sleazy flick from Bava. One of the oddest giallo I can remember? Beautifully shot, wonderful (& beautiful!) cast, tons of nudity, plenty of violence, great music, fun & weird story with lots of twists & turns. Very much recommended!"
"Great standard edition UHD release from VS. Invkudes reversible sleeve!"
"Loved this boobs! I mean film. Just inject of the giallo into my veinsssss. Cool artwork. Need a slipcover rerelease"
"Lamberto Bava is a master in this subgenre and Delirium is no different. This is a brilliant giallo film with gore in the right moments and tense until the very end. The transfer is truly beautiful and we have lots of extras to watch. A must see and buy!!!"
"Giallo goodness with all the flashy lighting, wild dubbing, and sleazy kills that define the genre! Transfer to absolutely top-notch, and the extras are fun as well. Definitely worth picking up if you're at all a fan of Italian genre goodness!"
"Wasn’t super into this one. Kind of a fairly standard Giallo, but had some unique flourishes like the mutating of victims into bugs or one-eyed monsters. Didn’t really understand at the time, but the special features explained that was supposed to be the perspective of the killer. How the killer perceived the victims. Cinematography was interesting but story wise, kind of middle of the road. Nice to look at and some good interviews in the special features. Especially George Eastman shredding Serena Grandi and Lamberto Bava. Calling Lamberto ‘half a man’. Harsh."
"The 4k looks great! A fun sleazy giallo by Lamberto Bava. The movie gets bonus points for George Eastman,'s minor role."
"Lamberto Bava films was given the treatment it deserved with stunning restoration worthy of your home film library to be upgraded to."
"Photo of Gioia is highlighted by some great visuals including the veloptuous lead actress Serena Grandi. It helps make the film stand out, even among the countless fashion-model giallo films. The killer. for this one is also a nice surprise. The film. is never really scary, but it is a lot of fun. The 4K HD restoration looks superb, aiding the film's often colorful presentation."
"Awesome awesome release of a Bava 80s classic. Great release that has never looked better. Nice extras too. Artwork is great as usual. VS knows how to market their italian releases. Worth the purchase. Hearing the italian is worth it alone."
