If you think you know American Horror Story: Roanoke, you don’t. The latest season of FX’s anthology series has now aired two episodes, focused on a supernatural reality series called My Roanoke Nightmare. Many fans have their theories about where this season is going. Well, AHS viewers, ready to have your mind blown in a few weeks.
“You’ll see starting in episode 6, the show has a huge turn and the thing that you think you’re watching is not what you’re watching,” co-creator Ryan Murphy reveals to EW.
“Even though the subject matter has gotten out, it’s irrelevant because nobody gets what we’re doing,” says co-creator Brad Falchuk. “No matter what you think it is, it’s not that. Then, episode 6 comes and you’re like, ‘Wait! What happened?’”
While Murphy thinks the twist separates the season into two halves, Falchuk considers it three unique stories. He says, “It’s like [episodes] 1-5, 6-9, and 10 is its own thing.”
This season's main problem is that it relies too heavily on tropes. It's all bland jump scares and blood, giving me low-budget Halloween haunted house teas.
+ it's hard to distinguish the plot from MH, and the "unfinished serial killer" plotline is lifted DIRECTLY from Hotel. It was weak then, it's even weaker now.
I've re-watched the premiere like three times already, very enjoyable! I loved the tension and there were so many great scenes. It reminded me a little of The Conjuring/The Strangers. Can't wait to see episode two!
episodes 1-5 is obviously the documentary, episodes 6-9 is the actors of the documentary, real people and real ghosts meeting and episode 10 is set in the future with billie dean filming a documentary (of the documentary and what happened on set).
2 episodes in and it's on par with my favorite season so far.
