"American Horror Story" can be called an "otherworldly" horror film. In fact, its horror level can only be said to be trivial. The ghosts from all walks of life are either talented, dignified and elegant, or beautiful and compelling. When ghosts just appeared in the first two episodes, there were still some scary scenes, and soon it was discovered that the director was just a fake shot. The main purpose of this TV series is not to scare the audience at all. Its theme fits its name. A complete collection of American quirks.
Compared with old-fashioned horror movies that are keen on wearing masks and holding steel knives and other disgusting scenes, "American Horror Story" can be said to rely entirely on atmosphere creation to give audiences a sense of terror. A typical example, an old house that is almost 100 years old, with a scary mural behind the peeling wallpaper, the house is always dimly lit, the furniture is all dull tones, and the elusive rubber man, all of which create an eerie atmosphere. The wandering ghosts aren't really scary at all.
The most fascinating part of the TV series is its twisted and suspenseful plot setting. It can be seen that the screenwriter has put a lot of effort into concentrating all the strange stories that have been circulating in the United States for a long time in this house and this story. Of course, the common problem of horror films is that they lack logic. They focus on how to scare the audience half to death, but often forget to make up the story. This film tried its best to string together the front and back clues, but there are still various loopholes that I forgot to fill, or in the end I didn't think of how to fix it, so I just let it go. Despite the flaws, "American Horror Story" is still a very good horror film. The most important breakthrough made is to let the protagonists die! ! .
