Lack of good storyline.

From my favorite movies..

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Yes, the actress is gorgeous. Great cheesecake if that's all you're looking for. But I expected a lot more from this director, the gratuitous gore and violence he's notorious for. Maybe it was titillating back the pre-internet 80s, but by today's standards it's nothing special whatsoever.*SPOILER* What makes this such a letdown is the buildup to a totally anticlimactic cliché ending you've seen a million times. The villain is just about to get his way, and then Bang, down he goes with one shot. The end.How lame is that?

And I do mean EVERYTHING else.A great looking film in all aspects. Brilliant camera work. Excellent use of color. The cinematography and art direction were Oscar worthy and everybody in it looked great. The majority of them proving it by getting naked.Beautiful models get bumped off by a killer whose face becomes a giant eye before the kill. The sudden rush of colors signifies that a murder is coming. Said models work for a magazine that our heroine (A former model herself) runs.Of course now she thinks she's the final target. Is she? If you can find this gem, see it.I found this in a used video box in Tokyo and was sucked in but the cover art. Seeing Bava's name helped too.It's a bit dated now, it reminds one of an 80's music video at times. But the mystery element is great and never lets up.

(aka Delirium)Contains a little gore, some nudity. When the magazine Pussycat starts receiving photos of dead models that include pictures of its founder, she fears she may be a target for the killer. - - - Certainly, this is an offsetting giallo. While it follows the stereotype of including pounds of style for every ounce of plot, Lamberto Bava's choices for music, lighting, and locations are far beyond what would be expected from the genre. The storyline is meager, but that is to be expected, and sets up some beautifully realized death scenes. There are some unique concepts with the killer's POV and it's paced fast enough that it doesn't get boring. The movie is just so darn 80s that it can be oppressive... it out 80s Miami Vice! Still, Delirium is a decent time waster.* * out of 4

The younger Bava's films never scaled the heights of his famous father's influential work; this giallo is a largely mediocre effort (the one good example from the sub-genre to emerge during this decade was Dario Argento's TENEBRE [1982]) with little to hold one's attention - apart from the actresses' physical attributes and especially star Serena Grandi!Here, the director even borrows a page from his father's book by utilizing the oft-used fashion-house setting (providing a cheap excuse for ample gratuitous nudity). He even strives for a distinctive color scheme during the murder scenes, but the killer's POV produces a weird gimmick involving the victims wearing laughable make-up and underscored by equally exaggerated sound effects! The cast (including Daria Nicolodi, George Eastman and Capucine), at least, provides enough suspects to keep the audience guessing and the electronic score by Simon Boswell isn't too bad either, under the circumstances.
