Key opinion
Delirium is widely regarded as a failed attempt at the found-footage horror genre, suffering from a disjointed narrative and thin characterization. While some viewers appreciate its departure from traditional genre tropes and creative camera techniques, the overall consensus is that the film lacks cohesion and fails to deliver a satisfying experience.

| Originality | The characters lack depth and distinction, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them. | |
| Direction | The film utilizes unique, non-formulaic camera techniques and perspective shifts that offer a fresh visual approach. | |
| Originality | Opinions on the film's subversion of tropes are divided; some praise the departure from horror clichés, while others argue that the lack of standard genre elements results in a disjointed and ineffective experience. |
