For the past 4 months I have been seeing a series of strange previews for American Horror Story. The previews had a very David Lynch quality to them. Well I love David Lynch and horror so I knew I had to try out this show. Well last week on Wednesday it premiered. But since I hate watching commercials I recorded it to a DVD-r. And didn't watch it till late Sunday night.

We start off a few years ago ,with two red headed twin boys heading into an abandoned house. They are warned not to go into it by a young girl that has Downs syndrome. They enter the house and start breaking shit with baseball bats. But some unseen force attacks them and kills them.

We jump ahead some unknown amount of years. And Dylan Mcdermot and Connie Britton are in a car with their daughter. They are moving to a new town. They show up at the house they are wanting to buy and it is the one that the twins died in. The Realtor tells them that the last owners died in the house. But the wife loves the house so much they buy it. It is this huge Gothic looking house. The next day while the mom is removing some wallpaper she gets to meet the downs syndrome girl and her mom. The mom is played by Jessica Lange. And we see Ms Lange stealing something outta a box. We find out that Connie Britton had a miscarriage and right after it caught her husband cheating on her.So this move is kind of a way to start over.

We cut to the daughter in school and she is having problems with some of the other girls. They seem to want to pick on her and try to start a fight with her. Also it turns out that the dad is  a shrink .He is using one of the rooms in the house as his office. We see him having a session with a teenage boy. The boy expresses an interest in the daughter. And later on the two of them plan some revenge on the girl that is being mean to the daughter.

We also get to meet the woman that has been the housekeeper of the house for years. But for some reason when the husband is looking at her he sees this young smoking hot red head. Instead of the old wrinkly lady that she is. Well strange stuff keeps on happening. Like the husband and wife find a old gimp outfit in the attic. And one night after they have had an argument,someone shows up in the bedroom wearing the gimp outfit and he has sex with Connie. But we see that the husband is in the kitchen and is in some kind of trance. The episode ends with Connie telling Dylan that she is pregnant. Which he finds to be strange cause they haven't had sex in over a year.

From just this first episode I am majorly impressed by the show so far. The acting is good. The girl with downs syndrome really impressed me. Connie Britton is an actress that I have enjoyed almost anything she has done. Plus she is a great looking lady for being as old as she is. Dylan McDermont I haven't seen in much but he does a good job in this episode. This will be a show I make it a point to not miss each week. The camera work and general strangeness of the show is a nice effect. American Horror Story episode 1 gets a A-.
