American Horror Stories - A new *episodic* horror anthology series - Thursdays on Hulu
- Thread starter RatskyWatsky
- Start date
My friend accidentally started watching the season with the talking head segments. That one looked more interesting than the first two seasons. You're saying that that one isn't too different in terms of a meandering story in the middle of the season?
The first episode of this was kinda promising, but all the ones since have had terrible acting and writing. This latest episode 4 is easily the worst of all. Even though there's only 7 episodes I'm not sure I can make it to the end.
Spinoff has been a total misfire IMO. It's not even taking advantage of the freedom that streaming provides in any way. The episodes are much more tame and aimed at younger teen audience, and the runtimes of the last two have been even shorter than typical broadcast lengths (this episode was just 37 mins).

I liked the first episode, the second was enjoyable, this third one was awful awful awful. Im usually patient with stuff and i hated this episode badly.

What? Episode 4 was easily the best one so far and the only episode that I'd actually recommend AHS fans check out. It was shlocky and fun - didn't take itself too seriously (1984 energy), had a bit of social commentary, as well as some nice horror kills at the end.
It was also the only one with competent acting and production values...

I would try to watch it but it seems like not even FX in Canada is showing it. And it isn't on Star for Disney+ either. 🤗
As someone who watched After Party not too long ago... this felt really derivative lol. Same themes with Trejo. Weird.
It took way too long for the "horror" to start, and it ended up really quickly. Like we get it, they're shitty people, we don't need a dozen exemples of it.

Episode 5 was good - a rare instance of AHS trying to be scary instead of just campy/horny - but it would have been better if
the episode ended with Billie locked up in the mental hospital and the gaslighters getting away with it.
I actually loved the "gotcha" moment. Also,
She's getting some demon's D in the end. Good for her.

Episode 6 was another one that went for a straight horror vibe (sort of a "The Woods Have Eyes" kinda thing) rather than the usual camp and was better for it. Some of the stuff with the hunter was dumb but the rest of it worked and felt like something AHS hadn't done before (though there were shades of Roanoke).
I liked the ending to 6 but 5's felt silly and unearned.
It's a mixed bag imo.
The first two episodes, from Murphy/Falchuk, felt like a creatively bankrupt retread of material that we've seen in at least 3 other seasons. Skip.
Episode 3 had an interesting concept but a basic execution that didn't feel like AHS - it felt more like a mediocre episode of Creepshow or like some low budget 90s horror show. Skip.
Episode 4 was AHS in silly schlock mode (think 1984). Fun and gorey but light on scares. Watch.
Episode 5 actually tried to be scary - felt like a cross between Cult and Coven. Watch.
Episode 6 was also trying to be scary and it also succeeded. Kind of like the forest scenes of Roanoke mixed with The Hills Have Eyes. Watch.
Episode 7 is the mid season finale and airs next week. It's the third episode from Murphy/Falchuk and from the description it sounds like it continues the story of the first two episodes? :x

TCA 2021: Not to be confused with Season 2 of "American Horror Story"
The show was initially announced as a 16 episode season, but then they split that season in half - the first 7 episodes this summer and the back 9 at some later date - so is this just confirming that those 9 episodes will air next year instead of later this year or is this S2 renewal for more episodes beyond the initial 16?
i am confuse
i am confused too. I also can't figure out how many episodes double feature is in full either.
OP
OP
They just confirmed - 10 episodes. 6 for the siren story and 4 for the aliens.
I like that the latest season of regular AHS is split. I always fall off the show halfway through. I get excited to watch it then it just sort of fades out and I never end up finishing a season. This might keep me more entertained.
I need to watch the latest episodes of stories but I'm having fun with them so far.

Okay I'm like usually SUPER down for the cheesy ass writing in AHS but boy the Game Over episode was just too much for me.
They do a pull back to do a 4th wall reveal TWICE in the same episode. Its hokey enough they try to pull off some Wes Craven New Nightmare like shit where the episode is all about someone trying to recreate the universe of AHS in a video game but then they do the same thing TWICE and its just absolutely stupid as hell. I do like the idea of finally ending the series reliance on constantly going back to Murder House by burning it to the ground but boy this finale really just fumbled the ball.

American Horror Story - Double Feature - Wednesdays on FX
Season 10 of American Horror Story, subtitled 'Double Feature', will premiere on Wednesday, August 25 at 10/9c on FX. The season will consist of two separate storylines - the first, titled 'Red Tide', centers on the sea and will consist of 6 episodes. The second, titled 'Death Valley', centers...

I loved it personally (I'm easy to please with AHS though) although trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't is about impossible. So the house burned down but the kid didnt do it and maybe the spirits are actually out in the world now? Which means...the part about her dying in the house is part of the game? Who the hell knows.
I thought I could pretty much enjoy everything AHS related as well as pretty much any horror anthology but I'm pretty sure I either disliked or hated every single American Horror Stories episode. Pretty much loved every proper season but this spinoff was awful. Fortunately it was short and now we are at the real thing.
I liked parts of every episode honestly. They weren't all good and some focused on the wrong parts for too long, but I at least found something to like about each one. And I thought last week's was great.
I find it amusing how everyone hates every episode of American Horror Story, yet they keep watching/coming back for more. Show should have been cancelled a long time ago, but ResetEra is not the real world. It's a guilty pleasure of mine
Roanoke is the only season I've actually enjoyed, so I appreciated the bit of support in the latest episode.

I consider myself a very patient person. I can enjoy stuff that people hate. But this shit was so so bad. My God.
1st 2 episodes were good. 3rd the movie one was good. Billie Lourde's episode was good. The others where shit and just really really bad.

Just watched Feral.
Wasn't a bad episode but I feel like the pacing had the same problem as Drive-In. Way too long until the "horror" happens, then it ends too quickly.
Interested to see what Game Over is about, considering I've only read bad stuff about it lol.

The series just appeared (1st 2 episodes) on my Disney+ this week so maybe you will have it too. I'm in Singapore.
I'm really not sure what to say about the 1st 2 episodes. It's like someone taunted Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk about their abilities to write and recycle the Murder House even more and they proceed to show that they can by writing 3 episodes for a season of 7. It's just boring by now to see same types of people going through the same thing in the same house.

I've gotten really good at cutting shows in the past few months, but idk
the pull is still there with AHS for some reason

The only good episode was episode with the influencers living together and deciding the way to get uncancelled (after showing someone commit suicide on their youtube channel) was to be "homie-sexual" and they all start acting gay with each other. That shit was funny. Everything else was either generic horror movie stuff or rehashes of previous American Horror story stuff but done worse.
So yeah I'll probably end up watching this.

AHS is what I called "trash", its different than garbage! Garbage is the last two seasons, but Apocalypse was lovable "trash".
