Malabimba (1979)
8/10
A choice seamy chunk of Italian horror trash

Warning: Spoilers
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.

Director 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. 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. 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 (!). Solid sordid fun.
