With a title like that, how can you lose? I've saved the absolute sleaziest of the Exorcist spin-offs to conclude Possession Week. This title is pure Bianchi, from the music that was later recycled in Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror to the villa that was later reused in Burial Ground, to actress Maria Angela Giordan, who was later recycled in...oh, you get the picture! Buckle your seat belts and get ready for copious amounts of naked ugly people and female masturbation!
A perverse, foul-mouthed demon is summoned during a seance in a decadent villa. It leaves the group of table-tappers and attempts to enter the body of Sister Sofia (Maria A Giordan), who drives it away by holding her arms in a cross above her head. It then heads to young Bimba's room and seduces her with a gust of wind and a wind-up puppy dog. (?)
Bimba then goes on a XXX rampage! She starts innocently by mouthing-off her grandmother and grabbing the butler's crotch, then she masturbates while spying on her mother and someone who is not her father. Things really start to take off when she gives her teddy bear a candle for a phallus, exposes herself at a party, and tries to make out with her dad. In one (I repeat, ONE) of the more tasteless scenes, she kills her grandfather by giving him a blowjob and, consequently, a heart attack! In another equally squalid scene, she seduces Sister Sofia then JAMS her hand into the poor nuns hoo-hoo. I'm sure this was meant to signify the transferal of the demon into Sofia's body, as she jumps off the roof shortly thereafter! End of film.
Anyone sitting down to watch this needs to keep a few things in mind. First, a Bianchi film (and I use that term loosely) is going to be choc-full of misogyny. Women exist in his films for the sole purpose of whoring themselves around, getting slapped about by the male leads, and then dying violent deaths. This film is no exception! There's even vagina trauma in this, something of a trend in Andrea's work. Second, the acting is LAME. Worse than, say, Inferno-lame. Finally, he didn't seem to be a very creative fellow, as he borrows aspects from a lot of other movies. The close-ups of eyes, in the tradition of Lucio Fulci, come to mind, as does the fact that the few horror movies he made were all spin-offs of slightly more popular films. That doesn't mean they aren't greasy, good entertainment! Check it out, but make sure you're grandmother is in bed first! Or your grandfather... Buy it here.
