Delirium (1972)
5/10
Jayne Mansfield's husband in an Italian horror flick
10 August 2007
There are some murder and orgy scenes in "Delirio caldo" (simply called "Delirium" in English), but it seems like large portions of the movie pass with no action. It focuses on a series of murders and a certain man's possible involvement, but there's far less going on than I like to see in Euro-horror. Probably the most eye-opening aspect is the casting of Mickey Hargitay, better known as Jayne Mansfield's husband (and Mariska Hargitay's father); in a movie about Mansfield, Arnold Schwarzenegger played him.

I watched the international version and bypassed the American version, so I can't comment on the differences between the two. But seriously, this is far from the best Euro-horror flick that I've ever seen. It's barely more than a way to pass time.

I bet that they never imagined that the star would get played by a man who would later be in control of the world's sixth largest economy (if I remember right, California has that rank).
