An American Horror Review:

After stumbling upon this new series by accident, I was Googling spoilers for The Walking Dead,  I thought I would give it a shot as the promo trailer seemed pretty cool.
It turns out I was right. This new horror show is a refreshing bolt from the blue. An amazing mix of old and new: with a 1920's Art Deco house (complete with creepy maid) thrown together with the strenuous side-effects of the LA suburbs, this television show scares
its unsuspecting audience in more ways than one.
The characters are all flawed, but comfortingly realistic, the storyline has plenty of bizzare twists and turns to keep you hooked, and the actors are perfect fits to their parts (note Dylan McDermott's cool 'dad hat'). My favourite part, however, has got to be the Anne Rice-ness throughout the whole thing. Being a huge fan of The Mayfair Family novels, I can't help but notice that same frighteningly-creepy-but-at-the-same-time-I-want-more feeling present throughout this television show. 

I won't give to much away as it isn't officially out in the UK yet, but If you like Anne Rice, Supernatural, Salems' Lot, The Amityville horror, or just haunted houses and creepiness in general you will LOVE American Horror Story.



                                          This one will be big...
                                          WATCH THIS SPACE.
