Purely Joyful Movie!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Malabimba is a good example about how to do a memorable film, with low budget, and stay present in the mind of the viewers. The idea is present the history of the girl (the only movie of the actress, I don't understand why), when has problems with a subtle entity... And she reacts in a very sexual manner. If you have a little money, and you want to react the Exorcist with low budget, but with dignity, the director choiced the best option. The eurotrash should return: when the people is tired of porn (is always the same, no doubt), if you present a good history with some spice, then the score is so better. I ask all the french, Italian and spanian directors: remember Bianchi, Franco, D'amato, Brass... This is the way.

A Matchflick reviewer recommended this film some time in the past, so I took the trouble of tracking it down. It was not easy, but I finally get to see it.It is a ripoff of the Exorcist, to be sure. It starts with a séance gone wrong, lots of things go flying through the castle, and we are to assume someone is possessed by the ex-wife Lucrezia. Most likely the teen Bimba (Katell Laennec), as she is acting particularly strange.Dad (Enzo Fisichella) really starts to worry when she French kisses him and grabs his crotch. Maybe it's not teen phase after all.The scene with Uncle Adolfo (Giuseppe Marrocco) was pure magic.But, it is Mariangela Giordano as Sister Sofia that gives the best show with Bimba.It would have been better had it not had snippets of porn placed here and there. I would have like to see the original.

Sheltered 16 year old, Malabimba is possessed by the spirit of a deviant ancestor, after a séance unleashes her, who uses the girl as a tool for unmitigated lust, shocking the girl's family and "nun protector" with suspicious sexually depraved behavior.Little more than well made soft-core erotica with a slight bend towards horror. Superb camera work(..two cinematographers contributed)and an ideal setting(..a wonderfully atmospheric isolated castle monastery on a hill)provide this film with some class despite the trashy premise and characters.The shocking subject matter is what sets it apart from what one might see in today's modern cinematic porn. A teenage virginal innocent besieged by the spirit of a horny ancestor who was once a nymphomaniac. Malabimba attempts to seduce her own father, gives grandpa oral sex(..which, I guess, gets him so worked up he has a coronary!), successfully ravages her nun, Sister Sophia(Mariangela Giordano;the spirit had attempted to possess her at the opening), and often peeps on the sexual activities of her voracious slutty aunt, Nais(Patrizia Webley). Nais is married to Bimba's uncle(Giuseppe Marrocco)but yearns for her father, Andrea(Enzo Fisichella). Nais, after repeated tries, is able to secure Andrea's desire, and Bimba looks on, actually luring Sophia into voyeurism with her. And, easily the film's most unpredictable sequence, has Bimba pulling up her dress, displaying her naked body for a dinner party of guests as her family stare in disbelief! Director Andrea Bianchi is known as a director willing to push boundaries, and does so here. Katell Laennec, who has a more mature body than an expected 16 year old, still looks young enough for her teenage character's wild antics to cold-cock an audience into silence and awe. Bianchi's camera enjoys closing in on the crotches of both Webley and Laennec, both seemingly open and free with exposing themselves. Webley is often seen in lingerie, gallivanting her body for those she wishes to proposition. The film's most erotic component is probably Bimba's methodical seduction of Sister Sophia who is able to ward off the permeating desire to engage in lesbian pleasure, finally giving in at the end, ultimately allowing access for the evil spirit to invade her(..I'm not sure why the spirit would wish to leave the younger Bimba for Sophia, unless it was the devious idea of overtaking the body of a God-fearing nun). The Karoli family is an open wound for the viewer and we witness their moral decay.NOT for the easily offended or those bothered by immoral acts of sexual gratification. Often labeled an EXORCIST rip-off, I think the film is it's own beast, really only using a little bit of the Catholism..this is a possession movie exploring erotic territory, rather than Satanic horrors regarding unsettling demonic images.

Seemingly as a result of séance that goes wrong(or was this an attempt at exorcism)Daniela is possessed by the evil spirit of Countness Lucrezia and becomes sex crazed and her mother Nais,also becomes sex crazed as Daniela watches.Daniela grabs men's crotches,flashes her pussy during a party,gives her grandfather a blow job and thereby kills him,seduces Sister Sofia who then commits suicide by leaping off the battlements."Malabimba" is a crazy Italian porno/horror that has to be seen to be believed.Apparently producer Gabriele Crisanti didn't thought the film was sleazy enough so he edited together an alternative version which included about five minutes of hard core sex footage.Some of the horror scenes-such as the séance at the beginning-are wonderfully over the top and stupid.So if you liked Andrea Bianchi's sleazy giallo "Strip Nude for Your Killer" or his extremely entertaining zombie film "Burial Ground" give this sleaze classic a look.9 out of 10.
