After it first week on bill in Argentina, it has accumulated nearly fifty thousand viewers.

South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive and music festivals and conferences that take place every March in Austin, Texas, United States. SXSW first began in 1987 and is centered on the downtown Austin Convention Center.

A key component of the SXSW Film Lineup, the Festival offers midnight feature programs, including five titles. In 2009 it was added SXFantastic sidebar, a series of midnight films programmed by Fantastic Fest, the largest genre film festival in the U.S. and the second worldwide. Last year the section was home to the world premieres of Gareth Edward's Monsters and the much buzzed about A Serbian Film.

"Our midnight programs are the bloody, beating heart of SXSW", said SXSW Film Conference & Festival Producer Janet Pierson. "Since the beginning, midnight films have been an essential ingredient to what makes SXSW so exciting and fun, and this year's selections are no exception."

“At first, is like a love story, but rapidly transforms into a roller coaster of horror. “ Adolfo C. Martinez (La Nación)

“Very well done, FX very accomplished. Made by people who know the genre and takes it seriously”. Eduardo Fabregat (Editor Pagina 12)

“Excellent cinematography, great actors, awesome music, killer shots and spectacular slow motions.” Suplemento SI Clarin

“Besides being original, Sudor Frio reaches its mission. It terrifies using what happened in real life. VERY GOOD” Lucas Cremades (Revista 23)
