YesAsia Editorial Description
Previously released only on VCD, Lost Souls has become sort of a Holy Grail for lovers of exploitation cinema, as the VCD was banned following its initial release. Now, the full and extreme glory of Lost Souls can finally be unleashed upon its followers with this long-awaited DVD release. Directed by Mou Tun Fei, the infamous director also responsible for the cult classic Men Behind the Sun, this 1980 Hong Kong production from the Shaw Studio tells the story of a bunch of illegal immigrants from Mainland China looking for freedom and wealth in Hong Kong. What they find instead is rape, beating and all kinds of physical and mental abuse inflicted upon them by the vicious "snake heads" (human smugglers). Much of the controversy surrounds the director's intentions - did he set out to make this a straight social-political commentary, or no-holds-barred sex-and-violence entertainment? You be the judge.
