Sudor Frio (cold sweat) 2010

A pair of 20 somethings are looking for a lost friend, they know she went to meet someone who she met online. they turn up at the house, knock on the door and suddenly (like only 2 or 3 minutes in) the film kicks off. Before youve got time to make a cup of tea they are tied up in a basement getting unstable liquid nitroglycerine poured over them.
They have fallen prey to two 75 year old ex argentinian police torturers who pretend to be a good looking hunky bloke on chatsites so they can lure people into their basement. Why? no one asks, its not really important, what is important is the fact that the whole house is full to the brim with unstable explosives, torture devices, mutant flesh eating survivors of the old blokes experiments and the house is falling apart.
I hadnt even heard of this film a couple of days ago but am i glad i found out about it, its wicked, the tension just builds and builds, every stressfull thing you could imagine happening involving liquid tnt is used to the max. and the writer had the presence of mind to cover the good looking girl head to toe in liquid tnt so she has to cut all her clothes off and spend the rest of the film half naked. genius.

BLOOD/VIOLENCE - 4/5 - heads get blown off, people get eaten alive
SEX/NUDITY - 3/5 - all the mutants are naked and the lead girl seems alergic to clothing
SCARES - 4/5 - more pure full on ratchet up the tension than scares

FILM - 4/5 - the best argentinian film ive ever seen
