After an incredible festival run throughout 2011, co-writer and director Adrián García Bogliano is celebrating the release of his latest thriller Sudor Fríos - or Cold Sweat for all you gringos out there - on DVD shelves everywhere on January 17th courtesy of Dark Sky Films and Mpi Media Group.
Starring Facundo Espinosa (The Motorcycle Diaries), Marina Glezer (Valentin) and newcomer Camila Velasco, the Spanish-language thriller centers around two villainous old men (Omar Musa and Omar Gioiosa), remnants of a time of war and different ideals, who lure young women into their home only to subject the insolent hostages to a barrage of tests and torture via the use of decades old (and highly unstable) explosives they keep hidden away in their decrepit house.
