'Le Foto Di Gioia' aka 'Delirium' (1987) - Lamberto Bava.

A sexy, tantalizingly top-heavy, top ten bevy of slinkily attired glamour models are inventively slaughtered by an artistically destructive, murder montage making maniac in maestro, Lamberto Bava's glisteringly glossy, glamour girl-goring, exultantly 80s, George Eastman-starring Giallo masterpiece, 'Delirium'. Kookier, kill seeking Giallo gawkers are sure to be blissfully transfixed by the teasingly overexposed torsos of these perfectly pulchritudinous pin-ups, gruesomely reduced to sordidly splayed, crudely displayed, crimson-hued centrefolds in order to appease the increasingly demented peccadilloes of our singularly strange, villa stalking psychopath! 

While arriving fashionably late in Gialli's gradually waning popularity, the visually gifted director is on bravura form with, 'Delirium', his boldly surrealistic flourishes, appetizingly fleshy nudity, multitudinous red herrings, and retina-poppingly colourful, grand guignol death scenes are sure to satiate the more voyeuristic appetites of openly sleaze-seeking cineastes! Alongside the overwhelmingly voluptuous appeal of hourglass heroine, Serena Grandi, this slickly fashioned, mean-spirited, pleasingly perverse Italian blood spiller once again proves, Lamberto Bava to be one of the more expert craftsman of compellingly creepy Giallo delirium!!! Powered by, Simon Boswell's sinewy score, 'Le Foto Di Gioia' is an appealingly glossy, lens steamingly lurid, well developed Giallo gem!
