BLOOD DELIRIUM

Delirio di sangue

1988 IT HMDB
August 8, 1988

After his beloved wife dies, an unbalanced painter who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Vincent Van Gogh goes over the edge and digs up her corpse--with the help of his necrophiliac butler--to bring it back to his castle and use it for "inspiration". He soon meets a beautiful musician who looks exactly like his late wife and brings her back to his castle. However, she eventually discovers their secret: the butler murders young women, disposes of their bodies and uses their blood--"the color of life"--for the artist's paints.

A mad painter is obsessed with the idea of painting masterpieces. To find perfection, he decides, with the help of his faithful butler, to use the blood of young girls to paint his paintings, then giving the remains of the corpses to the dog. One of the ugliest films in cinema history. A direction (if it can be called direction...) simply terrible, a non-existent screenplay, chilling actors and, as if all this were not enough, a total absence of splatter scenes (the only decent thing that films of this genre usually offer). Bergonzelli's film even manages the feat of making one miss films like "Paganini Horror" or "La casa 5". Fortunately, it is hard to find on tape and is practically never broadcast on television. To be avoided.
