Delirium defines the film early, as fashion model Valentina (Nieves Navarro) and her photojournalist boy-toy (Simon Andreu) agree to document the effects of an experimental drug. Upon taking the drug, Valentina begins to wildly hallucinate, moving from the throes of ecstasy to a warped, unrepressed memory involving a man with a spiked glove brutally pummeling a girl to death. In one of the most stunning giallo murders ever filmed, Ercoli captures the savagery from a first-person perspective, with the murder instrument filling the frame, splattering blood all over the lens in an almost invasive act.
