This listing is for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD combo. The limited edition slipcover (designed by Earl Kessler Jr.) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.

Bimba (Katell Laennec) lives in a gothic castle with her parents. However, when her mother dies under mysterious circumstances while involved in a seance, Bimba begins acting in increasingly strange and perverted ways. With her father at a loss for what to do, he invites a beautiful nun into the castle to try and get her under control. However the sister soon suspects that Bimba has become possessed by an insatiable, sex starved demon which will stop at nothing, including murder, to fulfill its depraved and unholy desires.

From the warped and deranged mind of one of Italy’s foremost purveyors of top quality sleaze, Andrea Bianchi (Burial Ground, Strip Nude for Your Killer), comes one of the most shocking and blasphemous pieces of sexploitation cinema ever made: MALABIMBA. Co-starring Giancarlo Del Duca (Giallo A Venezia), Patricia Webley (Play Motel), and Mariangela Girodano (Patrick Still Lives), Vinegar Syndrome is proud to give this notorious, hardcore Exorcist riff its worldwide Blu-ray debut, newly restored in 2K from its original 16mm camera negative and presented here in its fully uncut and uncensored, 100 minute version.

a great movie

"Great movie"

Timothy K. (5/5)

Malabimba

"Malabimba is barely an Adult title. I could see it being the perfect Adult film for folks who watch Horror movies to start with. It's almost as if the hardcore scenes were filmed after the fact and inserted. In any case, this movie is a ton of fun and I'd truly recommend it to just about anyone."

Jonathan B. (4/5)

Pure sleaze

"Everything I possibly could want in an exploitation flick"

Joshua M. (5/5)

Malabimba

"Bianchi delivers the sleaze, Melusine delivers a great release"

Georg R. (5/5)

bonkers in the best way

"Another one that I'm kicking myself for missing out on the slipcover for. This movie has been a real guilty pleasure of mine for a while - and the VinSyn restoration really does it justice. The seance scene at the start sets up the craziness perfectly!"

Toby L. (4/5)
