The Horror of Dolores Roach is a grotesque Sweeney Todd-inspired tale of Eat or Be Eaten; a macabre urban legend of love, betrayal, weed, gentrification, cannibalism, and survival of the fittest. It follows the indomitable Dolores Roach, who returns to a New York City neighborhood that has changed drastically during the sixteen years she has been in prison. Her boyfriend missing, her family long gone, Dolores is recognized only by an old stoner friend, Luis, who gives Dolores room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement apartment under his dilapidated empanada shop.
When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, ‘Magic Hands Dolores’ is driven to extremes to survive — leaving in her wake a string of strangled massage clients. In the face of unexpected professional success, Dolores and Luis become dangerously symbiotic, and Luis must unleash his own particular predilections.
《桃乐丝·罗奇的恐惧》下载观后评论:
【I don't want to be a series killer!】

短小精悍的劇集沒有一點兒浪費,8集每集不到半小時的內容緊湊卻不逼仄。看一心想做好人的桃樂絲「殺瘋了」,說她慘吧,可到了後期精神明顯崩潰的桃樂絲下手又是一個快、恨、準,一言不合就動手。說她有悔恨吧,因為有著不能再回到監獄的心情,又可以對無辜的人下手。
幾個助演的配角也表現得很好。收留了桃樂絲的路易也不個正常人,12歲和父親的女友出軌,想結束這段自己的關係是把自己閹了。戀母情結的他喊桃樂絲「mommy」,說是替桃樂絲解決一切,但也是他讓桃樂絲的案件多了血腥感。讓兒子是父親的肉做成的餅⋯⋯嗯,⋯⋯殷寿覺得你很行。私家偵探的原型怕不是阿加莎·克里斯蒂,復古的造型很漂亮,死前還要唸一下《麥克白》,主打一個優雅有品味。
当年实时追听Podcast版本,被彼时用空间音效玩ASMR恐怖的技巧唬得一愣一愣的~没想到视觉化了之后还能和Podcast几乎一模一样,几处改编,比如舞台剧概念的引入,Dolores和Luis情景喜剧一般talking over each other,感觉是边拍边改出来的效果,毕竟视觉化了之后听觉的戏剧感显得十分夸张,怪异得很,于是剧集里反倒一不做二不休摆明做恐怖喜剧~为什么要戛然而止呢?听过第二季的人应该知道这个IP糊得有多快多彻底尬出天际可不是吹的,停在这可算是个完美的不完美结局了
