A hit at this year’s South by Southwest and Fantasia film festivals, COLD SWEAT follows a young man (Facundo Espinosa) as he attempts to track down his now ex-girlfriend (Camila Velasco), who has disappeared without a word. After a string of e-mails, and with his good friend Ali (Marina Glezer) striking up an on-line affair with the possible home-wrecker, the two are led to an ominous building, where they encounter a whole lot more than they bargained for, specifically two offbeat villains and some literally explosive torture tableaux.

Reviewing the film, Noah Lee of Film Threat said: “[COLD SWEAT] has some clever kills the likes of which I’ve not seen and does so in such a way that’s a hoot to watch… Director Adrián García Bogliano has created a thrill ride that walks the line between thriller and a horror film with some genuinely funny comedic moments.”

Also, Todd Brown of Twitch commented, “The action is well staged, the gore effects convincing, and stuff blows up real good. COLD SWEAT is one of those movies that succeeds simply because it delivers on its promises.”

Meanwhile, Jay Seaver of efilmcritic.com noted: “[COLD SWEAT is] well put-together insanity…feeding the audience a steady stream of creative thrills that are all the more fun for their nuttiness.”

We’ll give Sam Zimmerman of FANGORIA the last word, who called COLD SWEAT, “a solid, brisk, fun and tense midnight movie.” (Read Zimmerman’s full review here)
