This study explores the role of the cinematic cholo as an abject being within the film Havoc (2005). The author argues that the cholo serves as the deviant other, whose personality and character is stunted by neighborhood pathologies, and stands in contrast to the rich, White characters for whom deviancy is an adolescent rite of passage, not a final destination.
