American Horror Story: The Complete Season 1
T**N
A refreshing taste of horror...in high-definition!
Two television shows currently on the air have brought back the horror genre to great heights in the medium. Along with 'The Walking Dead', 'American Horror Story' also deserves some serious credit. Twisted, bizarre, deviant, visceral and layered...these are all words one could used to describe the Season 1 experience on Blu-ray. Created by Ryan Murphy (Glee), AHS is a creepy and brillantly written self-contained anthology show that delivers a full experience beginning to end.The first season surrounds a family that move into a vintage home in Los Angeles in an effort to save the bonds that have been nearly severed by traumatic and psychological issues. But the house contains a dark and malevolent history that soon becomes prominent in their lives, as it harbours the souls of any persons that died or were violently killed within its walls. These ghosts appear as living people in the residence, with the family none-the-wiser to their true existence. Can the family prevent becoming permanent household spirits as well?AHS is a wickedly bloody and dramatic horror show that's backed up by a pretty credible cast, including a highlighting award-winning supporting role by Jessica Lange. But the hook is the show's incredible depth of mysterious mythology, especially as it pertains to the ghosts. For example, not only are they able to physically interact with the living, but on Halloween they are able to leave the confines of the house and venture into the world for one night only.The Season 1 Blu-ray high-definition package is fairly impressive in its sleek 3-disc set. Picture quality is pristine in detail and vibrant on color, backed up by a strong DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track for your home speaker system. The set also contains some good extras including episode commentaries, a tour experience of the house and featurettes about the making of the show, the ghosts/characters and the crazy-cool opening title sequence.Do yourself a favour, if you love horror and a fresh breath of creativeness into the genre, then check out American Horror Story. What do a rubber man, a demonic baby, and a half-burned homeless person have in common? They are all part of this extremely disturbed and unique show that is unlike anything else ever put to television or Blu-ray digital disc.

Première saison sympathique
M'ayant vivement conseillé de découvrir AHS, je ne fût pas déçu même si le thème de la maison hantée a été longtemps exploité.Je pensais ne plus être surpris mais ça a été le cas. Et puis, redécouvrir Jessica Lange dans un rôle qui lui va bien fût un pur bonheur.La découverte des autres actrices/acteurs a été une très bonne surprise et j'admets qu'ils ont rendu l'histoire crédible et passionnante.On sait que le créateur du show, Ryan Murphy , est un peu "dérangé dans sa tête" pour pondre ce genre d'histoire mais c'est la raison pour laquelle on l'apprécie.Je recommande pour les esprits sombres et torturés ;-)

Original et bien réalisé.
Je laisse les futurs acquéreurs découvrir le contenu de cette série. Le top, c'est que chaque saison a une fin! Cette saison une, a du choquer quelques Américains, inspirée d'une histoire vraie, dont les mots me manques pour exprimer le malaise de cette société. Derrière un scénario surprenant et décalé, des questions transpirent sur les raison de ce drame qu'il ne faut pas oublier!
