Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Delirium (Italian: Le foto di Gioia, lit. 'Photos of Gioia') is a 1987 Italian giallo film directed by Lamberto Bava and starring Serena Grandi, David Brandon, George Eastman and Daria Nicolodi. The film is about Gioia, the owner of the adult Pussycat magazine. She is harassed by a killer who sends her photos of her co-workers with her own erotic photography in the background. The film was developed as a vehicle for Serena Grandi after the success of the film Miranda (1985). The film was shot in 10 weeks and released in April 1987 in Italy to negative critical and box office reaction. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
