Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk (Nip/Tuck, Glee) have said and now for something completely different with their new show American Horror Story. A family uproots to Los Angeles in hopes of starting a new life after a tragedy. They get a fabulous deal on a wicked cool house because well it's wicked. So much bad ju-ju is afoot there as you quickly find out before the opening credits.
The show has some genuinely creepy things happening here. From baby parts in jars to gimp suits to creepy ginger twins, whatever you are disturbed by they probably covered it in the pilot. They seem to be playing homage to quite a few horror films without it feeling like a rip off. I was entertained through-out and was creeped out and WTFing at the climax toward the end.
Based on the pilot I am going to highly recommend this. It's quite possible this could be the Twin Peaks for a new generation. It seemed to follow a dream logic that you find in David Lynch films. I think people that need to make sense of everything immediately will find this show annoying. I for one just enjoyed the ride and I can't wait to see where this is going. You know where to find me now every Wednesday at 10pm.
P.S. I haven't seen this much man nudity since True Blood and it's all on Dylan McDermott. It's like half the episode! I'm exaggerating a little but still. Sexy second runner up... Frances Conroy. Now I know you wanna watch ;)
