Eduardo, a young upper-class Colombian, is on a road trip with a friend when he is kid-napped by a guerrilla group and held for ransom. After a long journey into the jungle, his kidnappers come under fire and he finds himself trapped in a long-standing feud be-tween the military, paramilitary and the guerrilla group who kidnapped him. Consumed at times by loneliness and traumatized by the armed dashes and dangerous ventures from camp to camp in the jungle, Eduardo’s outlook on life and his relationship with his country undergoes a radical transformation that is both painful and powerful to watch.

Set in the Colombian crime world, Carlos Moreno’s smartly scripted debut feature, Perro Come Perro, depicts a brutal universe where gangsters are as vicious as rabid street dogs and voodoo reigns as the supreme form of punishment, doling out karmic fate to its thuggish denizens.

El Orejón is a violent and agoraphobic crime boss who lives surrounded by telescopes in a luxury high-rise apartment in the center of the city. When his godson William Medina is killed, he beseeches Iris, a voodoo priestess, to avenge the murder by casting a deadly spell on the shooter. While Iris conducts her black magic, miles from her a small-town heavy named Victor Peñaranda is carrying out a job to collect money from a slip-pery pair of twins. He makes a disastrous decision to break the sacred law of the crime world–he keeps the cash for himself. His choice unwittingly sets off a detonation pattern that wreaks havoc through two cities and the realm of the netherworld.

Energetic direction, beautiful lensing , and fantastic performances–led by Marlon Moreno and Oscar Borda–bring this gripping thriller to life. Perro Come Perro is one of the best genre films to come out of Colombia in years and marks Carlos Moreno as an exciting talent to watch.

The film tells three different but intermingled stories that serve to illustrate the connec-tion of events in a world rather dark and tragic. The chain reactions generated by some always reaching innocent others.

The film is based in tragic events that took place in Colombia in 1986 and in the Colom-bian best seller “Satanás” by Mario Mendoza.

“Satan” is a solid production in the context of the new Colombian cinema. It represented Colombia in the Spanish Film Awards (Premios Goya) and was the Colombian selection for the 2008 Oscars.

It was a top ten hit in Colombia in 2007, beating several 2007 Hollywood blockbusters.
