American Horror Story
American Horror Story has been a huge hit
worldwide. Well known for it’s twisted storylines and memorable characters.
Season four Freak Show is soon to be released and with the leaked images we are
sure to be in for some twisted and unforgettable characters.
The
writers of American Horror Story have delivered to us three incredible series
(Murder House, Asylum & Coven).
Whilst watching the series I got seriously addicted and went through
Asylum & Coven within four days. Although I felt that all three series were
incredible, something about Asylum especially stood out to me.
The
twist in Lana’s story was something I found insanely addictive and enjoyable.
The representation of someone who leads an everyday life with no hint of mental
health issues and then being detained in Briarcliff Mental Institution just
after a short of amount of time we begin to see the deterioration of her mental
health. In addition to this the unexpected twist after her successful escape,
only to end up back in the institution was an exceptional turn of events.
Although the series is known for it’s dark
style and gory moments, the series does include some laughs and makes it
somewhat more enjoyable to watch and giving the audience some relief to an extent.
A prime example of this would be from Asylum, the well known scene of the name
game, where sister Jude who at the beginning of the series, a serious and well
respected character who as the series goes on we find that she becomes a
patient herself, this scene brings a sense of joy and amusement.
In addition to this, I feel that the
character of Queenie in Coven brought the series a lighter and more amusing
feel compared to Murder House and Asylum, some of the lines that are delivered
are brilliantly written and not only that, makes the character more relatable
and feel like somebody you may know.
There is something quite spectacular about
American Horror Story, and the way that people have reacted to it, and the
build up to series four is something that has everybody talking!! October 15th
2014 will be one of the best nights in television and I’m sure that social
media will explode with talk about it.
