Short non-spoiler summary: In the wake of a miscarriage and other problems, a couple moves to Los Angeles with their troubled teenage daughter. The incredible deal they get on a beautiful Victorian home turns out to be as a result of past tragedies on the grounds, and the house comes complete with creepy, intrusive neighbors and a mysterious housekeeper. Badness ensues.I would categorize the pilot of American Horror Story as 'unrelentingly unpleasant, cynical, and fetishistic horror'. There are clearly fans of this approach... other films that come to mind are 'Event Horizon' and 'Saw', as well as most other torture porn, where most or all of the characters are unlikeable and the psychological brutality and dread are non-stop. It's arguable that there is a sympathetic character here, Vivien Harmon (the mother), played by Connie Britton, though I found her less and less so as the story progressed, much too weak... Her inability to communicate, her detachment from her daughter, many poor choices, etc. Dylan McDermott as her husband is even weaker, and other characters seemed equally single-minded.The clichés also abound (haunted house, twins, dead animals, shadows of hooks, the easily seduced husband, ghost babies, etc., etc.), though the use of fetish gear as a horror motif was interesting at times. In fact many of the elements are fetishized and sexualized, a surprising choice for a TV series. And equally bold, though hardly commendable, is the exploitation of modern inner fears... teenagers all secretly involved in violence, self- mutilation, and Columbine-like thinking; Downs Syndrome children; etc. To my thinking, great horror or suspense is grounded by sympathetic or at least realistic characters, which gives contrast to the dread and a reason to fight. 'The Shining' is a prime example, as is 'Twin Peaks'. There are characters you truly care for, and who have something tangible to lose, and the despair is countered with humor. In comparison, this series is almost humorless and cynical to the core.That isn't to say that 'American Horror Story' doesn't have merits. If you're a fan of similar projects, you'll find much to like... stylish surreal moments galore, some plot points are unpredictable, and both Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy ('Six Feet Under') are truly unnerving. Their unexplained connection might even compel me to watch further. And this is not one of those moody horror films with little going on ('Paranormal Activity', the original 'The Amityville Horror', much Val Lewton)... It's incredibly dense with action, plot points, and characters, almost to a fault.'American Horror Story' was ultimately, for me, a trial to sit through. Not escapism, but possibly cathartic for those not offended, disturbed, or otherwise bothered.

Nasty.

Unlike many reviewers on here, I have waited until the end of the first season to actually review this series as a whole. I want to start off with the Pilot. When I first saw it, I had a lot of problems with it. It was messy, and some of the characters were dumb, and some of the acting was corny. However, after the Pilot ended, I realized just how intrigued I was by it. It sure was a messy Pilot, but that's the beauty of it. It was always moving, it wasn't your typical slow-paced suspense show. In fact, that pretty much sums up the whole season. This is a crackling, fast-paced and entertaining horror series. I would never call this high- art, but that's what makes it great. The show doesn't take itself seriously at all, and it always remains fun, even when it's silly, and yet you get really invested in the story lines and characters. Sure, the performances are flawed at times, and the writing and directing awkward, but the fast pace in every episode doesn't ever let the viewer gasp for air. This is the true definition of a thrill ride. It also feels very experimental. It executes a lot of things in very unordinary ways, in ways that no other TV show does. It doesn't always succeed, but even when it doesn't, you can appreciate it. Your friends might call The Walking Dead the better horror show, but I disagree. As far as Pilots go, no matter how entertaining or thrilling American Horror Story's Pilot was, the Pilot for The Walking Dead was better, masterful in every way. Since then, it's merely a good, sometimes great, TV show. It takes itself more seriously and is slower-paced, but it's problem is that a lot of times the writing just feels stale, recycled. You are intrigued by it, but it sometimes feels weaker than it should be. And the fact that it takes itself too seriously sort of dampens the fun one should be having with it, simply because its writing isn't strong enough to stretch out its story lines (like the two best TV shows on air, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, do). American Horror Story is better for these reasons- each episode by itself is exciting, it's always moving, and instead of trying to slow things down and makes its flaws more apparent, it even overdoes things on purpose. Messy, sure, silly, sometimes, but overall more intriguing, funner, and more exciting. I cannot wait for the second season of this, since I thought the resolution to the story of the first season was excellent, as well as the final shot. P.S. Oh, I also want to add another note to take. The performances do hit their great marks, but the only truly incredible performance is Jessica Lange. Her character and performance makes all other supporting turns in television look stale by comparison, and all of her scenes are truly gold! She needs to win that Emmy next year! I want to see her back!

I wanted this series to work out, I really did. There was a horror series called "Fear itself" that was awesome but eventually got canceled. This show already has me bored and is painful to watch.The first few episodes got my attention, and then it just fell apart. I really don't know why people give it decent reviews, its gotten awful.Here goes: --The daughter and the mother are exactly the same character, whiney, spoiled, and sarcastic. The father has to talk to both of them like children to stop them from getting mad. Almost every scene has them giving the father a ton of whining and headache.Maybe this is the required "girl power" in every American show, but as a man it REALLY drains me to watch it. And to be honest, I hate all the characters in the show (just realized that), so I really don't care what happens to them.--Way too many people are dying in the house in really stupid, predictable ways- all without any consequences, I really want something terrible to happen to ghost Tate in particular, but hes already dead. Wimpy scumbag....but it feels like the show wants us to somehow feel sorry for him.--People killed in the house, become ghosts that can never leave. They often never get angry about how or why they died. If they are boring characters, don't expect them to show up much.-- The obsessive pregnant girlfriend dies in broad daylight and doesn't even get mad at the guy who killed her, but doesn't hesitate to kill the neighbor's boyfriend for whatever reason.--Ghosts show up in the house and interact with the family (family doesn't know they are dead), and yet the family never asks how they got there or calls the police on them. Obsessive girlfriend shows up a lot at random times, barely a reaction is made.So, lots of people are introduced and then consequently die without trying to get away or even with anger after they pass away and become ghosts.--There's 0 sexiness to the show, which isn't required of a horror movie but would add some variety to it. There's a lot of breathy sex between ghosts and alive people, but its not done in a passionate way and the camera is always facing away from them.--Past the first 4 or 5 episodes, they aren't even scary anymore. And a lot of the artistic part of the show dies off. It becomes more and more ppl dying and denying without reason or in any way you haven't seen 1000x times before.Seems like: "Hi im here to clean the pool". *Walks to pool* *Gets murdered by Tate the ghost* pretty boring and stupid.The only cliff hangers that are meant to keep you around is whether the family will live, and whether one of the mothers children turns out to be the spawn of the devil.Further summary, The mother is whiney, ugly, and way past her prime, the father talks like a wimp to every angry female he runs into (which is all of them), Tate has ruined so many lives without consequences (but hes already dead), the daughter is pretty but whiney like her mother and somehow likes the house and wants to have sex/kiss ghost Tate the random killer, the neighbor's old trashy southern accent gets tiresome, the death toll of uninteresting characters is high and the scaryness is 0, and there is literally no character Im routing for or even care if they survive.

If we have absorbed the lessons of what independent family dramas have taught us in the past few decades, what have we learned? That Father Has Never "Known Best", that the "Dreams of The Everyday Housewife" can be laced with resentment, disillusionment, fear and madness? That the placid, peaceful, tranquil picture of the all-American family we have believed in (and taught to uphold and emulate) by our own parents, has always been a facade for all kinds of dementia and dysfunction? If this is true, then what Ryan Murphy has done is taken the clichés of everything from chief competitor Alan Ball's award-winning American BEAUTY and Stephen King's THE SHINING, put them on steroids and blended them together in his word processor. The result? American HORROR STORY, where the only thing more terrifying than a haunted house laden with secrets that rip people to shreds, are the secrets and lies infesting the lives of one family that threaten to rip THEM to shreds.When a tragic miscarriage and an even more shattering act of infidelity threaten to tear apart their tenuous marriage, Ben Harmon (THE PRACTICE'S Dylan McDermott) and his wife Vivien (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS' Connie Britton) take their teenage daughter, Violet (Taissa Farmiga) and move away from their "house of horrors" to find a new start somewhere...ANYWHERE that they can put the noxious past behind them and at least try to have a go at tending to their gaping emotional wounds.The place they choose - or maybe that chooses THEM - a run-down manse on the outskirts of L.A., turns out to be a real bargain, and though irredeemably creepy, does have an antiquated charm...if you're into murals that would give even Hieronymous Bosch nightmares.In no short order, unsettling and strange characters - as much as the house itself is - begin to materialize and insinuate themselves into the Harmons' lives, whether they want them to or not: next-door neighbor Constance (Jessica Lange in a brilliant turn), whose demeanor suggests a deadly combo of Blanche DuBois, Norma Desmond and Gale Sondergaard's Black Widow; Frances Conroy (Ruth Fisher from SIX FEET UNDER) as the mysterious housekeeper, Moira, who appears to the rest of the family as one persona, while tempting Ben's weakness for "a taste of strange" with another more lascivious presence, (played by Alexandra Breckenridge); Larry Harvey (TRUE BLOOD alum Denis O'Hare), a horribly burned man who seems to be stalking Ben, and who has his own deadly history with the house and what lives there, and Constance's daughter, Adelaide, (Jamie Brewer), with Downs' Syndrome, yet who seems to have it more together - and knows more about the house - than anyone else around her.Even Ben's practice as a psychologist is fraught with peril, with the introduction of a teen patient named Tate Langdon (Evan Peters), who has an easier time picking apart and savaging the weaknesses in Ben's emotional armor than Ben does in probing his inscrutable and infuriating new charge's troubled mind. Not to mention that his growing fascination/infatuation with Violet doesn't help things one little bit.Many people have cried fowl about the show's penchant for relying heavily on old horror tropes and clichés, without even paying attention to how it has been taking said clichés and twisting them into newer and even more unsettling shapes than today's average hot mess passing itself off as a 'horror film.' Leave it to FX to allow Murphy and his team - much as they did with NIP/TUCK - the freedom to push the boundaries of where a horror-infused series can go, without the constraints that hog-tied many of the like-minded series that came before it, such as the ground-breaking TWIN PEAKS or American Gothic, (which wasn't anywhere near as well-written as this).Two episodes in and I am already intrigued, grossed-out and frankly spooked by what I have seen so far. I just hope that the quality continues to get even better as plot lines and characters get darker and more deadly secrets are unearthed...

These days when the genre of horror is brought up most people think of the latest slasher bloodfest like "A Nightmare on Elm Street" or the latest attempt at trying to scare us with some lame movie like "The Ring". It might be a problem with the time constraints of a 90 minute or 2 hour movie, it's hard to completely capture the audience and slowly twist the perceptions.Another thing forgotten in recent horror movies is the fact of NOT explaining everything within 5 minutes of it happening, it's more entertaining and spooky to speculate why someone sees something or what actually happened in a particular scene. People forget that in some of the best horror pictures like "Psycho" the real horror came from the suspense and the wondering of what was going to happen and that the violence was secondary.The dialogue between characters is actually impressive especially in a couple scenes that you will be able to easily pick out. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk who also created Nip/Tuck and Glee (odd combo) seem to be able to excel in almost any genre and especially now in horror. It's rare to writers like this who aren't afraid to jump around from genre to genre fearlessly.It's hard to describe many aspects of this show without giving away to much so I must refrain from describing the plot as it appears so far.The day after I viewed the pilot episode I was shocked to see all the negative feelings towards the content of the show. So let's be VERY clear this show is classified MA which stands for "Mature Audiences" which should be taken the same as and "R" rating for films, so if you don't want you or your kids to see it that's fine but don't get all pissy about a show you decided to watch that was marketed as a "psycho-sexual horror". Yes there is scenes of semi explicit sexual acts and scenes of disturbing violence but it's a horror story so images like that are to be expected.It's refreshing to find a show that is different and does not follow traditional formula's TV horror shows. I plan to watch every week and enjoy the series fully, since it is honestly very rare to see a show do better in it's genre then most recent films.American Horror Story arrived a couple weeks ago on the great FX network that also houses two of my favorite shows: "Sons of Anarchy" and "Justified".

Entertaining.

I'm back again, 'spamming' the chat. So I've been reading the reviews on the right side and I've noticed that they are all bad for some odd reason. This tv show is my 2nd favorite and I honestly never want it to end

woah! Started watching season 7 today, already at episode 8. The season is great, I'm really into it

I don't why, but I don't want to watch season 7, I will cause I always end up watching all of the seasons, even the bad ones

The old seasons were horrible, Season 7 is more horror and scary, following the first 2/3 seasons footsteps. This is legendary,
