This film had a great idea. A plot with so many twists that it could actually have worked out right. But, the many ways dilemmas are resolved throughout the script are way beyond suspending judgment. And I find that boring, sad and hilarious. The film is very well done and has very good acting. The sets are amazing and photography, well, amazing. There's a clear (more than clear, it's sometimes a copy) reference to many of Dario Argento's films. The super slow-motion, ultra-dramatic scenes are just one example. The way music is used is not only reminiscent of Argento, but with almost exactly the same choices of genres and styles. This could've been great in that time; today it really distracts the audience from the continuous and completely unjustified drama you watch.The way the script (or later decisions) resorted to the "forgotten wild women" lair, is gratuitous and very, very funny, but it gets in the narrative so deeply that it is a pity to watch. Good entertainment, lots of blood, extremely well crafted gore, beautiful super-slo-mo and a creative torture made me give the film 6 stars. But films are about stories, and here, we have one that came out a bit uncooked and way over the top.

First of all, I have nothing against slow-paced movies. In fact, some of my all time favorites are considered downright boring by many. However, when a film contains scenes where the alleged "heroine" has escaped and is standing by a doorway and watching the "villian" (the guy I ended up rooting for after countless acts of stupidity from the two central characters) harmlessly typing on a computer yet does nothing... There is a problem. Three minutes later, and after two long shots of a weapon lying on a nearby table from her point of view, and still nothing has happened... Well, then things simply become infuriating. In fact, the film even cuts away to another scene halfway through, only to return to the woman gaping at the bad guy as opposed to, you know... moving. At all. By this point most people have just stopped caring and all tension is lost.That scene pretty much summed up the movie for me. Repeated acts of stupidity + nothing happening = A lot of frustration and boredom for the viewer. Half the scenes are in super slow motion, the characters who were meek suddenly become tough, wisecracking (well, the script/actor's attempts at it) heroes due to an inconsistent script and the acting is sub par to cap it off. My Final Rating - 3/10. "Cold Sweat" would definitely work better as a 30 minute short than the full length feature movie it was dragged out to be. All in all, there are about three good scenes in the whole movie, hence the rating. Although to find those scenes you need to ride through the tedious waves of the film at a snail's pace which, in my opinion, is not worth the effort.

When I need diversion, nothing helps quite like a film festival. I can forgive Sudor Frío for a lot of imperfections: direction, script, actors, everything. The hammy, sophomoric acting; the dime store special effects ... But there's really no excuse for a mickey mouse script. You get the feeling that the film was put together by a quarrelsome committee of third graders, and aimed at an audience of chimpanzees. The dialogue was just dreadful. Also the actors were directed all wrong--if they in fact were directed.This is not the worst film ever made but...

This was my favorite film during Morbido Film Fest. I've never been familiar with the director of Sudor Frio, but after this movie I've been looking everywhere for his other movies. This film has a Tony Scott taste but mixed with Edgar Wright. Just pure style. An awesome style. The movie starts with a couple of old dudes torturing a young hot girl. Then the movie develops in a story of a girl and a guy having to enter inside of the house of this two sickos. I won't spoil anything so don't worry. I'm here just to tell you, this is the most entertaining Argentinian Film ever. Argentina has their masterpieces like ¨El secreto de sus ojos¨and now it has a new masterpiece called Sudor Frio. Mark my words people, this movie is going big and blowing up everything on it's way. WATCH IT!
