About Delirium
After being released from a mental health facility, a man inherits a sprawling mansion from his parents. He moves in hoping for a fresh start, only to be greeted by odd noises and unsettling sensations. As strange events mount, he grows convinced that the house itself is haunted by a presence with dark intentions. The line between his memories and the house's whispers becomes muddy, fueling growing paranoia. The story relies on mood and atmosphere rather than loud shocks, inviting the audience to question what is real. The suspense comes from claustrophobic rooms, creeping shadows, and a sense that danger hides in the quiet corners. In that tension, the protagonist's grip on perception wobbles, and fear takes the lead tonight.
Delirium was directed by Dennis Iliadis with a screenplay by Adam Alleca, released in 2018. It presents a lean, claustrophobic horror story built around a haunted house premise and a restrained ensemble performance from a small cast.
Box office details are sparse due to a limited release, and publicly cited numbers are minimal. The film circulated mainly to niche horror audiences and streaming platforms, rather than dominating wide theater runs. Its release varied by region and festivals.
The film has not left a lasting imprint on mainstream pop culture, but its look and sound design may appeal to viewers who prefer restrained horror over spectacle. Its atmosphere and haunted house visuals offer a compact example of tense storytelling focused on mood. Its look lingers after the screening.
Critics highlighted the performance and the film's unhurried pacing; some compared it to psychological thrillers, noting how memory and perception distort a familiar space. The setting becomes a mirror for trauma, revealing how certainty dissolves when fear and past wounds collide. Overall, critics and audiences call it a quiet experience.
