the audience applauded

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

American horror story is a great if you're into this kind of horror, people that are into slasher movies/shows will probably not like this.Overall AHS has its low seasons and high seasons, every season is very different and that's why most people aren't into all the seasons. Overall probably the best thing about this show is the casting and acting. Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates for example are incredible actors/actresses that never disappoint in this show. I personally think its genius how Ryan Murphy managed to make every season very different from the ones before but still manages to connect all of them.My opinions on the seasons;1. Murder House: 7.5/10, Great season with some real scary things, not my favorite season, it had flaws but the casting was amazing. 2. Asylum: 9/10, Scariest season of all for sure, my kind of horror. You'd expect that a season that is mostly filmed in just one building would be kinda boring, but it sure wasn't. Incredibly great season 3. Coven: 8.5/10 probably the most hated season of the show, but why? I loved it. Sure, it wasn't that scary and it had flaws but the casting was perfect. Lange and Emma Roberts were both perfect for their roles. Evan Peters annoyed me though, his role with the whole love triangle with Madison and Zoe was stupid. Probably my favorite season although it wasnt scary at all. 4. Freak Show: 5.5/10 Doesn't compete with the other seasons to me, the casting was good but that was about it. Overall I kinda enjoyed it, I guess? The ending was disappointing although Lange left the series in a great way. The only character I really enjoyed was the villain. Not a great season, sorry. 5. Hotel: 6.5/10 Not a very beloved season by most, but to me it was watchable and I dont feel like I wasted my time watching it. The casting was okay, Lady Gaga did great job acting and definitely added a great touch to the season but apart from that it wasn't a really interesting season all around. A lot of blood and sex but not the best season of the show. Overall I would recommend watching it although most people aren't into it. 6: Roanoke 7/10 Finally another scary season. The season felt like a haunted-House horror movie but longer. Sarah Paulson did incredible as the "crazy, paranoid wife". A big plot twist in the middle of the season and it left me with some confusion but I sure did enjoy this season. 7. Cult 7/10 Before the season started I was really scared I wasn't gonne like this, politics, clowns and Evan as the villian, but after watching it I actually enjoyed it. The concept was alright to me and some episodes were just boring. Again, Sarah Paulson played the crazy wife but again, she portrayed it well. Her wife was very annoying and I hoped she'd die early on but she didn't. The "different" episode with Frances Conroy was incredibly boring and didnt feel needed but sure let's forget about it. Sarah did a perfect job and her character was great, excited to see more of her next season.I love this show and I'm definitely excited for season 8 (Radioactive) and season 9. I can understand why people dislike it but it just is your cup if tea or it isn't. Hope to see more of these horror shows in the future.

I've watched the first two seasons and this could have been great but they seem to want to shock people more than tell a story. The second could have been great but there was just to much the Aslyum story with the reported and bloody face could have been brilliant I could even take the possession. But then throw in aliens, nazis, zombies and non of them explained just left it feeling half done. The first was the same started off great with to many half told stories where as if they could have focussed on a few intertwining stories and done them properly. This hopefully gets better but fear again the shock value outweighs a consistent and fully told story. I am not bothered my gore or graphic ness but would like it to have context not just be thrown in because they want to shock. I did like the using the same people different characters.

This is a rare treat I came upon expecting a rehash of old horror ideas and fake scares and thrills. Well, I was completely surprised by the first scene of season 1 episode 1 and I have been hooked ever since.I enjoy the different tone of each season, the originality of the writing despite some well done themes e.g. ghost, witch etc. It feels fresh and unique in its category.Evan Peters is fantastic in his ever changing roles just as the rest of the cast are. I need to point out Evans as he was completely unknown to me before AHS unlike some of the more established actors.Superb show. Original. Scary. Horror. Enough said.

I have watched the series right from the beginning. I endured Taissa Farmiga's constant "a hipster deer caught in the head lights of a car"-expression, I endured the 3rd season "Coven" which was boring, but on the other hand I have enjoyed Jessica Lange's and especially Evan Peters' and Sarah Paulson's acting and seen some awesome horror and gore. But.. when Lady Gaga came in to the picture, I was terrified that the show would turn into a Gaga feature video, so I didn't continue with the series. I gathered strength and waited until I was ready. And about a month ago I entered the Hotel. That was a mistake, as I predicted. the Hotel is even worse than Coven was, ten times over. Gaga just sucks the energy out of every scene and I'm guessing that's because she is actually Lady Gaga in every scene instead of being the character she is supposed to be. I wouldn't be surprised if some episode started with a Gaga dancing and spreading her crotch to the camera. Until the Hotel, I would've given 8 or even 9/10, but now.. I'm being generous and give it a 6.
