In the film's predictable finale (if you've seen The Exorcist, that is), Sofia sacrifices herself by becoming the vessel for Lucrezia's corruptive spirit and promptly dives head-first off the castle's ramparts before she is able to succumb to sin. Lots of shots of luscious Laennec in the altogether indulging in all manner of perversion Giordano whipping off her wimple and habit to get saucy and busty blonde Patrizia Webley (as Bimba's nympho aunt Nais) making a couple of the men in the castle very happy chappies indeed: despite the rather mediocre plot, Bianchi's film has more than enough quality sleaze to ensure a good time, with the added explicit footage only making matters even more seedy. Apprentice nun Sister Sofia (Mariangela Giordano) realises the truth, but can she save Bimba without falling victim to Lucrezia's seductive power herself? During a séance, intended to allow Andrea to contact his dead wife Daniela, Bimba becomes possessed by the spirit of evil ancestor Lucrezia and is transformed into a sexual deviant.
Star of the film is the rather lovely Katell Laennec who plays sixteen year old Bimba Karoli, whose over-protective father Andrea keeps her away from the rest of the world in the family castle, which is also home to several other relatives. Reviewed by BA_Harrison 7 / 10 It's Italian Exorcist rip-off time again.ĭirected by Andrea Bianchi, the man who also gave us the hilariously trashy Italian zombie classic Burial Ground and the magnificently sleazy giallo Strip Nude for Your Killer, Malabimba is a fairly humdrum tale of possession, clearly inspired by The Exorcist but given a massive shot in the arm by the presence of some serious Euro-babeage and the inclusion of several very steamy scenes, some of which even enter XXX territory thanks to the use of hardcore insert shots. Moreover, it's a total twisted treat to see a bunch of smug rich hypocrites being tormented and terrorized by an unruly supernatural force, with the definite amazing highlight occurring when Bimba causes her paralyzed uncle to succumb to a fatal heart attack as she performs fellatio on him (!). Voluptuous blonde stunner Patrizia Webley vamps it up with sizzling saucy aplomb as shameless conniving slut Nais while the equally sumptuous Mariangela Giordano acquits herself well as selfless nun Sister Sofia. Sweet and innocent teenager Bimba (a very bold and uninhibited portrayal by fetching slender brunette Katell Laenec) transforms into an evil, predatory, and sexually insatiable whore who proceeds to unsettle her wealthy family with all kinds of rude and improper behavior after a foul, vengeful, and lecherous spirit takes possession of her nubile body.ĭirector Andrea Bianchi, working from a gloriously lurid script by Piero Ragnoli, does an ace job of crafting a deliciously sleazy atmosphere of unbridled carnal desire and simmering perversion as well as delivers oodles of tasty gratuitous female nudity and scorching explicit copulation.

When Bimba discovers this, she tries to seduce her father herself but he rejects her in disgust and calls a psychiatrist who concludes that she is just acting out her grief over her mother's death. However, unsatisfied with his s&m play, she seduces her brother-in-law Andrea instead.
Meanwhile, his buxom young wife and Bimba's aunt Nais looks for sexual satisfaction in Giorgio, who hangs around the castle. She tries to satisfy her confusing demonic urges with masturbation but quickly moves on to seducing those around her, starting with her deathly ill uncle Adolfo, who's unable to stop her from performing fellatio on him which leads to his death during the incestuous act. Bimba suddenly becomes overtly sexual and starts acting out in a completely unhinged, aggressive and sexually provocative manner in front of her family and their guests, all while brutally insulting them. Unfortunately, they contact instead the malicious and possibly demonic spirit of their evil, hedonistic and decadent late cousin Lucrezia that, after assaulting and messing a bit with those present at the summoning, ends up possessing Andrea's and dead woman's virginal teenage daughter Bimba. After the death of Andrea's wife, Daniela who was the matriarch of once rich and influential aristocratic Caroli family, her nearly bankrupt family decides to hold a seance in their decrepit castle and contact her spirit.
