The thriller from Argentina
MPI Media Group today announced it has acquired all North American rights to COLD SWEAT, a new horror film featuring a pair of villains who raise the bar in cinematic evil. A sensation at the South By Southwest film festival, the film, directed by Adrián GarcÃa Bogliano, will receive a theatrical release in fall 2011, to be followed by DVD and Video on Demand availability.
COLD SWEAT (Sudor Frio) is a co-production of Pampa Films, a leading studio in Argentina, and indie house Paura Flics. Pampaâs previous productions include the local box-office hits The Signal and The Legend. The COLD SWEAT distribution deal was negotiated by Greg Newman, executive vice president of MPI Media Group, and Antonio Riopredre of Pampa.
When Romanâs girlfriend disappears he expects to find her in the arms of another man. And find her he does but there is no lover on the scene, only a pair of crazy old men keeping her locked away in the basement of their crumbling mansion. Armed with wild-eyed political ideals and case after case of decades-old and highly unstable dynamite. The villainous duo are conducting illicit experiments on a string of young women lured to their home via the internet and if Roman cannot free his young love she is likely to end up in pieces, thanks in part to a generous slathering of nitro-glycerine.
A delirious old school horror picture with the most memorable villains in years at its core, Adrian Garcia Boglianoâs COLD SWEAT was a huge hit at SXSW thanks to its creators wild imagination and sense of showmanship. Loaded with memorable characters and stylish action, COLD SWEAT is a shocker that never fails to entertain.
The GarcÃa Bogliano brothers’ other films include Room for Tourists, Watch âem Die, The Accursed and Penumbra.
Also starring in COLD SWEAT are Camila Velasco, Omar Musa, Noelia Vergini and Daniel de la Vega.
