Kell Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Is anyone else watching American Horror Story? We've caught all four episodes shown so far (and they were all played again last night as an omnibus for Hallowe'en). It's showing on FX. And last night it was announced that it's been commissioned for a 2nd season of 13 episodes - yay! It's rather creepy and extremely good. If any True Blood fans are looking for a horror-based show to fill the gap till season 5 starts, this could be the one to keep you occupied! Quote
Kylie Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Sounds good Kell. The first episode starts here in one hour's time, and I plan on watching it. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 It starts on FX UK next Monday by the looks of it - shall have to set the Sky box Quote
Ooshie Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 My 16 year old son and I (both big True Blood fans!) are looking forward to this, thanks for reminding me to set the Sky+ Kell! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I watched the first ep last night. I don't think 'weird' quite covers it Quote
lalalalana Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Never heard of it but I'll look into it, sounds good. Thanks! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 I watched the first ep last night. I don't think 'weird' quite covers it Indeed! It was strange in the exteme. I did quite enjoy it - however I wouldn't say it was very similar to True Blood at all. Quote
Kell Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 AHS is far darker than True Blood (whereas TB is far more overtly sexual with quite graphic sexual scenes in it - loads of nudity etc). AHS is more spooky than TB... Quote
Weave Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I watched the second episode last night, so far, so good, I like how creepy it is and the character that Jessica Lange is playing is great, I like that she has a subtle (well not that subtle at times) edge. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I watched the second episode. Really not sure about it. I'll give it another couple of episodes to see if it improves. Quote
Kylie Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I watched the first episode but managed to miss the next couple, so I guess I won't continue to watch it. What I saw wasn't quite enough to pull me in, I guess. Quote
Kell Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 It definitely gets better. Turns into quite the creep fest. Just wait till you see the rubber man... Quote
Kidsmum Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 We watched the first few episodes but gave up on it , I found it more silly than scary tbh. Fantastic house though don't know if it's a real house or a set they filmed it in. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Yeah, I've given up too. Just couldn't get into it, and didn't like any of the characters. Quote
Nollaig Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I heard something very very.... um.... hm. Well my friend told me a bit that happens which involves a ...maid? or something? and apparently turned out very bloody. And generally is not the sort of thing I would expect from a tv show. Of any kind. I don't know whether I want to watch it or not.. Specially not before Christmas... might have been better at Halloween! Quote
Kell Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Noll, if you want to double check, I've added a little in the first spoiler here: There is a little violence, Noll, which does culminate in her murder, but in a very quick way. Her assault isn't completed (in fact, nowhere near) and it is a third party involved. If you want to know exactly how it happens it's in this second spoiler here (just in case you feel you need to know the ins and outs before deciding on watching it): The maid had previously had a consensual liaison with Constance's husband and he figured he could have round 2, but she says no. He tries to force her and there is a brief struggle, but Constance walks in and catches them. She then shoots the maid (through the eye) and also her husband, dead. And a separate note about the maid: The eye which is shot shows on the older version of her as her funny, kind of blank eye - the one that is paler than the other and looks kind of "dead" in comparison. Quote
Nollaig Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Hmmm. I might give it a go. I scare very easily, that's my only concern. :/ Quote
Weave Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 I'm watching it and interested in finding out what happens but a whole lot of killing went on in that house, I am amazed there is room for the couple's endless neuroses! Quote
Michelle Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I've just started this, and it's a bit OTT.. But I might watch a few more. Quote
Timmo Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I watched the first and second one but really didn't like it. Quote
Lilywhite Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I've really enjoyed this one so far. It can be a bit OTT and does get very weird at times but I love that " what the?????" feeling you get when something strange happens and isn't quite explained until later on. A bit like 'Lost' in that respect. I found watching them a few at a time helped. I would have probably lost interest after the first couple if I'd had to wait until the next week. Quote
Michelle Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I think I watched 4 or 5 yesterday in the end - it's just like an OTT horror book, but I want to see how it pans out. For those worried about being scared, it all depends on what actually scares you.. I don't think there's anything particularly creepy or psychological about it, it's pretty much in your face! Quote
