Delirium, also known as Photo of Gioia and Delirium: Photo of Gioia (Italian: Le foto di Gioia) is a 1980 Italian giallo film directed by Lamberto Bava and starring Serena Grandi.

Plot

A former prostitute is in charge of a successful men's magazine. An obsessed admirer systematically slaughters her models (which also increases the magazine's sales) and supplies the mistress with pictures of their disfigured corpses taken in front of her semi-nude posters visible in the background. The more he kills the closer the killer gets to slaughtering his obsession.

Production

Famed giallo director Dario Argento was attached to direct early in production but pulled out due to script changes. He was replaced by his protege Lamberto Bava.
