This movie is a horror movie with lots of gore, with a few twists, and all wrapped up in a mystery.
A husband and wife (James and Mary) are being held captive in a mortuary while the wicked as hell mortician, Pauline, tortures them, snipping away their bits and pieces. That's one story.
Then there's the deputy cop, Emma, who is looking for her husband's murderer. He disappeared while investigating a series of child disappearances.
Then there's the Amber Road, like its Silk Road counterpart, it's a dark web black market. The movie makes it clear that anything can be purchased there - including murder and torture, which seems to be the case in this movie.
Somehow or another it all ties together.
There's lots of good acting from the leads. William McNamara is great as James the tortured husband. I don't think he's been in anything this grim since Copycat with Sigourney Weaver. Tom Sizemore shows up in a few scenes as does Vernon Wells (any movie with Bennett from Commando is worth a watch from me).
But really, all the actors are good and the story moves quickly with a couple of real surprises. No shocking scares, but there is some shocking gore. Not quite torture porn but just on the edge of being so.
