Audience Member A remake of Malibimba, The Malicious Whore, this film involves a possessed young girl tormenting those around her in a crumbling old Gothic castle, and it's got some nicely sleazy moments to recommend it!

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Another in the series of WTF Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring horror-themed eurosleaze from Italy all set in a mansion where the spirit of the dead former owner possesses her daughter and plots revenge against the sinful other household members. It could have been a half decent film had it not focused too much on the sleazy stuff as the locations and sets where of a good standard and would have provided a good atmospheric and spooky backdrop had they been used better. There's no gore, no decent kills and no scares so it's the sexy goings-on that steal the film with its ample amounts of nudity and perverted situations, including a very naughty nun. The film wasn't completely awful but I can't say I'll be coming back for a second viewing anytime soon. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member What do you do if you accidentally strangle your wife during a heroin fuelled rage? Leave her lying around in the cellar of your castle whilst your butler does black magic rituals and you chase after a nun that lives with you to look after your crippled brother! Well you do if you're in Satan's Baby Doll. This is a very obscure bit of Italian sleaze that hasn't been seen in anything like it's entirety since it's release in 1982. To be honest that isn't any great loss as it's interminable pacing and complete lack of any real plot means it manages to drag even though it only clocks in at just under 75 minutes. That 75 minutes also includes some new footage salvaged from a rare copy of the XXX version which was believed to be lost forever. (In case anyone's wondering this film was originally intended as an arthouse porno of the type that were popular in the late 70s, odd thrillers or dramas that had half an hour or so of hardcore sex added in for no apparent reason.) Unfortunately the XXX footage doesn't help much as much of it is the aforementioned nun caressing herself (over and over again for the best part of five minutes) and getting it on with the dead mistress of the house. In case you were wondering the 'plot' involves a dysfunctional family of aristocrats who all live in a large castle. The wife dies but possesses her young daughter who goes around killing everyone and prompting flashbacks of how they'd all romped with the mistress of the house at some time or other. I watched the 'Shameless' DVD which has been lovingly restored, including sourcing the formerly lost footage which has been painstakingly replaced and you have to admire their passion for forgotten Italian cinema. It doesn't come with an English soundtrack so it's presented in the original Italian with English subtitles. The transfer is superb considering the base material but you can't help wondering if it was really worth all the effort. So I gave it two stars just because of the care put into it. If it was just for the film itself I might have stretched to one...

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmm, this is the first Shameless release I've seen that I've not really enjoyed. But at least it was only an hour and a quarter long. So plot is haunted castle; a nun, a girl and her dead mum get naked fairly regularly and a few men get killed. It seems the girl is possessed by her dead mother, but is she? There's a lot of heavy breathing in this, and not just in the self-diddling scenes, but also when not a lot is happening - which is something it has in common with the more boring end of the cheap and nasty market. Shameless have in the past managed to splice together quite smooth films from the bits of footage they uncover, but this feels a bit ramshackle. Props though to the theme played, usually, when the nun is in a state of undress which is very Flaming Lips for its Pt I and then in Pt II goes full on Meddle era Pink Floyd. It's like if Flaming Lips covered Echoes and it wasn't shit, like their Dark Side of the Moon cover. Less props for its endless reoccurance.
