Colombia's first 'Asusto' horror is folk terror with teeth — and a dog you'll never forget.
El Perro, a kidnapped soldier, takes advantage of a confrontation between his captors and the paramilitaries to escape. In his escape, he takes refuge in the house of a peasant family that keeps a dark secret that he must solve to be free.
