Ontario-Filmed THE HORROR OF DOLORES ROACH Streaming on Amazon Prime Video
Macabre series The Horror of Dolores Roach, starring Justina Machado as Dolores “Magic Hands” Roach, is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Based on the hit Gimlet podcast, the limited series filmed in Toronto and Hamilton last summer.
Dolores Roach (Justina Machado) is released from prison after 16 years and returns to a severely gentrified Washington Heights with $200 and the clothes on her back. With her boyfriend missing and her family long gone Dolores reunites with an old stoner buddy, Luis, who gives her room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his dilapidated storefront, Empanada Loca, the only remnant of her former life.
When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, Dolores is driven to shocking extremes to survive, and in the face of unexpected professional success, Dolores and Luis become dangerously symbiotic, and Luis must unleash his own peculiar predilections.
