The Horror of Dolores Roach Preview: Dolores Is Ready for Anything
A recently released clip for the Prime Video series The Horror of Dolores Roach gives us a glimpse into the darkness that awaits viewers.
Tensions rise, and decisions need to be made quickly in an official new clip for the Prime Video series, The Horror of Dolores Roach. The eight-episode Amazon Original series will premiere on July 7, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world. The series is based on the hit Spotify podcast series of the same name and is a contemporary "Sweeney Todd"-inspired urban legend of love, betrayal, weed, cannibalism, and survival of the fittest.
Dolores Roach (Justina Machado) is released from prison after 16 years and returns to a gentrified Washington Heights. She reunites with an old stoner friend, Luis (Alejandro Hernandez), who lets her live and work as a masseuse in the basement under his empanada shop. When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, "Magic Hands" Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive. The narration element in this released clip has hints of the original Spotify audio drama in all the best ways. Originally created by Aaron Mark as a one-woman play, Empanada Loca, Mark created, wrote, and directed the original podcast and penned the pilot script.
