Amber Road (2022)
8/10
William McNamara and Janet Wang shine in this low budget horror!
25 January 2023
Amber Road has a fantastic cast, with some big name talent like Hollywood legend Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down), and Robert LaSardo (Death Race, CSI Miami) in addition to a talented group of actors you'll recognize if you follow the indie scene. I recently saw Janet Wang in Bermuda Island, but this is the first time I've seen her in a lead role. Get used to hearing her name! Wang and McNamara really shine in their roles as a married couple imprisoned by a killer. Rachel Riley is also great in her role, but I hesitate to single anyone out because the acting in general is great. Director B. Luciano Barsuglia clearly knows how to get the best out of his cast.

Amber Road is NOT for the squeamish. The torture scenes are well done and believable, and made me squirm more than once. Great job by the SFX crew.

Amber Road is well paced and with a short runtime of just under 90 minutes, it's a quick watch that never drags. Definitely worth watching if you're a fan of indie horror. 8/10 stars.
