Malabimba (1979)
The only way to save Bimba's soul is to lose yours.
31 July 2010
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.
