Two giallo classics from the director of Demons and Demons 2
With Delirium (Le Foto di Gioia) and Body Puzzle , Lamberto Bava delivers two astonishing "gialliesque" variations, leaning towards classics of anguish ( The Voyeur by Michael Powell, Body Double by Brian De Palma) as much as towards the slasher . The director of House of Terror here demonstrates a mastery of the codes of the genre, through murder scenes with playful and often virtuoso perversity, sometimes slipping towards surrealism. To be discovered for the first time in a 2 Blu-ray™ Box Set!
BLU-RAY 1: DELIRIUM (LE FOTO DI GIOIA) (1987– Colors – 94 min)
A former model who inherited a fortune from her late husband, Gloria runs a famous glamour magazine that arouses much envy.

SUPPLEMENT

SUPPLEMENTS
