Malabimba (Uncensored) [Blu-ray/DVD Combo]

Product Information

For example, during the séance the ghostly presence makes a male guest erect and then unzips his pants before ripping the top off a female guest. It wouldn’t be out of place in a sex-comedy romp, like Scary Movie. This release includes a new 2K restoration, a reversible cover, a trailer, a sleeve with additional artwork (limited only), and the following extras: Becoming Olivia: An Interview with Actress Suzanna Love [15:07] – Love talks about drinking vodka to prepare for nude scenes, getting away with drunk driving thanks to a recent hate crime murder, being happily married to Lommel until she discovered he was unfaithful, and more. 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.

The initial version submitted to the Italian Board of Censors had a running time of 84 minutes and 45 seconds, while a longer version of the film was actually distributed with explicit sex inserts. [5] Franco Villa denied having shot hardcore footage for the film, stating the footage shown theatrically was not his footage. [5] Curti noted that there are no stand-in for the scenes where Laennec perform fellatio to the Uncle Adolfo character. [5] Malabimba – The Malicious Whore was distributed theatrically in Italy on 22 September 1979 by Stefano Film. [1]Writing horror books and movies can mess with your mind almost as much as watching them, apparently, and writer Steven Lessey knows all about it. Stressed by his latest deadline — one that eludes him as he tries to shift away from genre efforts — he begins hallucinating until the line between what’s real and what’s not blurs past the point of no return. Everyone in Malabimba – The Malicious Whore is despicable… except Sister Sofia.While I understand why Bimba changed, there’s no excuse for her aunt (Webley) walking around half naked and throwing herself at every man in the house… well, except her actual husband, Adolfo, who’s paralyzed from the waist down. Bimba’s recently widowed father (Enzo Fisichella) is no saint, either, kissing his own daughter in the garden like he’s been dying to do it for years and letting his sister-in-law seduce him despite his recent loss. Even Bimba’s grandmother wants her son to marry her other son’s wife, even though he’s still alive, just so they can get their hands on his money.

Roberto Curti stated that the producer of Malabimba would "basically remake" the film as another horror and hardcore pornography hybrid titled La bimba di Satana which was released 1983. [5] Reception [ edit ] Malabimba – The Malicious Whore in Italian, so you have to watch subtitles to follow what’s going on. This isn’t my issue, however. What bugged me was that the audio did not match up to the video. Mouths were moving to words I heard a second before, which is distracting to say the least.Vinegar Syndrome releases can live or die on their special features and presentation of a restored film. To be honest, there are some movies Vinegar Syndrome releases that are, let’s say, hard to sit through. In the case of Malabimba, the movie and special features equally add to the quality of this release. 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. I've been, I've seen a million Hallmark Christmas movies that don't understand what this movie comprehends at a bone-deep genetic level. Every action is more compelling and more moving when it's anchored in fully realized and developed characters. John Hughes wrote a beautiful movie. One that has moments that make me laugh incredibly hard while also reducing me to tears every time I watch it. Each component is astonishing on its own, but combined, they create something transcendent.”

MALABIMBA is a must own Blu-ray for any fan of possession and/or Italian cult films. Come for the supernatural, the abundant nudity, and the ill-fitted porn scenes spliced into the softcore scenarios but stay for an intriguing story of a family on the brink of collapse and a girl caught between being a good daughter and exploring her fledgling sexuality. THE DISC The Antichrist" (cinematographically speaking is the more traditional of the lot and therefore the easiest to please the majority, but being an Italian film (even if tame for Italian standards) it crosses boundaries that Hollywood would never dare to trespass (the goat scene). It's a film that in spite of being exploitative follows the "Exorcist" recipe more closely and with more seriousness. Malabimba Uncovered” – interviews with actress Mariangela Giordano and cinematographer Franco Villa Brand new audio commentary with film historians and authors Samm Deighan, Heather Drain, and Kat Ellinger Erotic Italian Gothic horror La bimba di Satana, from director Mario Bianchi, takes place in exactly the kind of imposing, brooding castle one would expect from the genre: sat atop a stormy hill, shrouded in shadows, with endless stone corridors and a dusty old crypt, it is inhabited by a collection of 'unique' individuals all hiding dark secrets. Clichéd though these elements might be, the film's narrative could never be described as predictable...Malabimba Uncovered: Featurette with Actress Mariagela Giordano and Cinematographer Franco Villa [16:55] Unfortunately, despite its unusual plot, copious nudity from its attractive female stars, and plenty of general perversion, including lesbianism, voyeurism, murder, possession and necrophilia, La bimba di Satana is a real bore for most of the time: Bianchi's lousy direction is torturously slow and the structure of the film makes matters more than a little confusing—at least until the film's final minutes, when some of the plot threads are thankfully finally pulled together (although I never did quite understand how the reanimated mouldy mummy fitted into proceedings!). 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. What a waste of a randy nun!

Bimba, a sixteen year old daughter of a wealthy family, is starting to show disturbing signs of demonic possession.The possessed Bimba (Laennec) goes from a naive, protected young girl to a sex-starved sadist who kills her Uncle Adolfo (Giuseppe Marracco) with a blowjob. Nothing is safe from her wandering fingers. Even though Laennec was only 19 at time time, she performed all of her own “stunts,” even those starring her favorite teddy bear, a Christmas elf with quite a large, bulbous nose or her uncle’s penis. Directed 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.
