VoidTwo 259 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 okay I finally got to see all of the three episodes. I'm seriously disappointed and concerned: as a die hard horror fan I've always found something to enjoy or to save even in AHS' worst seasons. This one is simply a mess: the first two episodes look like a lame reboot of the murder house trope and they don't actually explain **** about that damn rubber suit. I liked about three scenes and called out every "twist" five minutes before it happened. Then, the third episode had a better story but that was all: it's a ripoff of Demons, Anguish and Cigarette Burns by John Carpenter (all of those films are at least well executed in their "movie influencing audience" development), the actors were awful (yes, even Naomi Grossman and that fake scissors-in-eye prop that shows her closed eye beneath the prosthetic piece) and the direction of every episode looked very flat. At least AHS, even at its lowest point, had some cool camera work. Then I'm going to say a thing you will all hate, so I apologize in advantage but I've got to say this: we all got that Ryan Murphy is gay. Stop remarking it in every episode of every show adding stereotypical gay characters who end up being annoying or gratuitous just for the sake of the "look I'm inclusive, accepting and fighting for equality" thing. It's becoming tired and awkward. I'm not saying that he shouldn't include gay characters and all, but at least make them enjoyable or deep enough to root for them, not a bunch of badly written gay couples with a clichéd lesbian daughter and a "don't fear the ****!" femme guy acting like in a campy school play. And don't get me started on the lame "I googled it" "4chan says that", whatsapp emojis and Kim Petras in the soundtrack: we can see the main characters are shallow teenagers, don't shove it down our throats like that. I'm still looking forward for the next episodes, especially the Ba'al and the Christmas ones, but these three were terrible. Geez. Sorry, I got triggered too much because I love good horror and they all butchered good premises with this series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roanoke had even play a gay character just for the gay scenes, the same thing happened in cult for one scene with Colton Haynes, and apocalypse had him as a gay character again just for one scene of him with the rubber man like, if Ryan wants to see these actors get it on, at least make it less obvious insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gay subplots were unnecessary even in Freak Show tbh. I don't know if you have seen Hollywood but that is the apotheosis of this topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The first 2 were a real struggle to get through. Is it worth giving 3 a go or? I just need some horror? The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not… good but it’s also not bad. I’d say watch it because the premise of it is fun, other than that really expect a typical horror story type of episode so keep your expectations low Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even finish the second one. I got to the part where some construction worker killed some guy and stuck him in the wall and demanded mouth and hole privileges with the guys who are married, which was pretty hot. But the rest of what was going on were so stupid and the acting was so bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with the Netflix thing i just feel this episode isn't really inside the AHS universe, cause that would mean everyone would kill each other, unlike the first 2 episodes that are in the MH 13 | this is my dancefloor i fought for, your voice is louder, it echoes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllusionLover 6,194 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Okay about episode 3 i didn't liked it cause it scared the **** out of me during the drive in part, but i liked it for that, also I found a Freak Show reference on the director's trailer, there was a clown toy which is a reference to Twisty which is played by James Carroll Lynch who played the director in this episode. 13 | this is my dancefloor i fought for, your voice is louder, it echoes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agunimon 20,249 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Episode 3 was SO much better than the first two, and had SO much better acting in my opinion. It's still not something I take seriously, but it was a huge step up. Gonna check out episode 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
