A shocking, sensational expose of heroin-addiction in the inner city. A story of lost people and their struggle for survival in the twilight world of drug-abuse. nteresting rarity featuring Helmut Berger and Corrine Clery as a couple of heroin addicts stumbling through life looking for their next fix. It's non stop drug taking for the pair throughout, breaking off for some sleazy sex interludes with ugly folks in between. Clery even shoots up directly into her vagina at one point in a shot that leaves nothing to the imagination. Interestingly the score is pretty much all done by The Pretenders which is at turns pretty decent and boring as hell. I can't make my mind up which is the more dominant feeling. 'm not sure when my obsession with Mogul's VHS releases started. I'm not even sure what the first one I ever purchased was, but I can remember the excitement of coming across a new, previously unknown title at some creaky backwoods video store or pawn shop. Information was practically nonexistent, and the lists below were compiled the old-fashioned, pre-internet way: wasting lots of gas finding every video store in the surrounding states and begging, bribing and sometimes stealing for them. Classics are few and far between in the Mogul Communications line-up (not Mogul Video, as they're ofttimes incorrectly referred), but the rarity of their tapes and the obscurity of their titles, not to mention their typically outlandish, garishly-painted artwork, never fail to capture one's imagination. Hilariously, some of their covers include the following disclaimer in small print across the back: The scenes depicted on this sleeve may be an artist's impression & may not necessarily represent actual scenes from the film. You gotta love 'em. Mogul's lineage can be traced overseas to the U.K., where in '83 they were set up as yet another VHS arm by GO! Video's Des Dolan. Interestingly enough, Mogul Communications' name and logo wasn't only devised for home video use, as the company simultaneously issued a slate of video games under the banner. Not surprisingly, their games were essentially knock-offs of arcade hits, and included titles like Chomper Man, Kongo Kong and Pollywog. Fans of the label will notice artwork elements recycled from not only the U.K. Mogul tapes, but sometimes the GO! catalog and the video games, too! As far as I know, in the States the outfit released around 70 titles on at least four different branches between '85-'88. Des Dolan's connection can explain the proliferation of films pulled from pal Dick Randall's holdings, along with other Brit associates like Michael J. Murphy. Ironically, Mogul is probably most famous for a movie they didn't release: Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust. Their acquisition was announced, but the company went belly-up before their VHS was ever issued. Below are the tapes I've been able to track down. I'll be frequently updating this list with links to each individual release, including cover scans, exact runtime information, alternate titles, etc. I also hope to do some related interviews, to shed a little light on the outfit.
