American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 3 - "Chapter 3"

Spoiler Alert!

OMG you guys, this episode!

Ok, now I do really regret not watching this episode live last night because it was so good!

Seriously, if I thought last week's episode was better than the first one, this one was so much better!

I lot of things happened in this episode and we discovered that the story is actually about the roanoke colony but not really the story of the people that were part of the colony, but what those people done to the 'characters' in the series. And, the episode couldn't start better, with a death. Not Flora's, but Flora's dad, Lee's ex-husband.

After that, Shelby suspects of Lee, because she was caught by the security cameras but that's when the police get a lead and Shelby, Matt and Lee find out that the hillbilly family vanished, leaving two of their sons. The scene where they find the sons is really disturbing but, me being the weird person that I am, I found it quite cool, the two sons drinking the pigs 'milk'.

I think AHS have been lacking on 'disturbing' images and some more creepy stuff so it was nice to see that scene.

After that 'dead end', a psychic named Cricket appears in the house and does some witch stuff to talk to the spirits and that's when we find out that Flora is still alive and that's when we learn more about the Roanoke Colony.

I've already searched for the story of it, so must of the stuff that they talked about in the episode I already knew but there was some parts that I didn't know. I don't know if it was just something they made up for the series or if it really happened but turns out the colonists rebelled against Tomasyn, the first lady of the Roanoke Colony, in her husband's absense and left her for dead. Desperated, she gives her soul to a mysterious woman (Lady Gaga's character) and kills the guys that left her to die, taking over the colony, again, forcing them to relocate to what now is Shelby and Matt's home.

And, that's when other of the coolest/weirdest scenes happen. When they are trying to negociate having Flora back, Matt disappears and Shelby goes after him, finding him having sex with the same mysterious woman that Tomasyn sold her soul to.

The episode ends with Matt telling Shelby that he doesn't remember anything that happened and with the police arresting Lee, tipped off by Shelby.

So, as you can see, a pretty intense episode.

I quite liked it, to be honest. It had some pretty gross bits as well as being really intriguing, everything to be a great episode.

Let me know what you thought about the episode and I'll see you next week with a new AHS rant.

Love,

Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 2 - "Chapter 2"

Spoiler Alert!

I know, too long without an update but have an excuse.

I've been out of the country and, when I got back, besided getting back to uni, I've been kind of sick (I still am, in fact). I didn't even saw the new episode yesterday live so, you can see how I'm feeling. But, now that you have an update about my personal life and a reason on why I didn't update, lets start with the proper rant.

I must say, I don't remember much from last episode, since it was a week ago, so I am going to have to see some of my notes but, one thing I do remember, this episode was way better than the previous one. 

I remember that this episode left me really curious about what's going to happen next, when the first one only left me really confused about the whole thing.

Something really cool about this episode was that it started right where the last one ended, which don't happen very often in American Horror Story. But, of course something really dumb have to happen as well. After what Shelby saw, she decided to stay in that house no matter what. Which latter she regrets, with all the things that happen next.

They call the cops and this time they stick around in case anything else happens and it happens but the cops didn't help a bit. Probably because everything that happened this time, happened inside the house, which left me really curious and excited, to be honest.

This season is starting to look a lot like Murder House and Murder House was one of my favourite seasons so, I'm excited to see where this season is going.

As things keep happening, Shelby and Matt discover a storm cellar under the back yard where they see a video of the man that was in last episode's video.

In this video, this man tells more about the story of the house and it turns out that the house used to be a nursing home where two sisters committed multiple murders. 

This is the moment where they realise they have to get out of that house but they just can't because all the money that they had is in that house.

As all of this is happening, Lee violates her custody agreement and brings her daughter to the house, who later encounters and entity named Priscilla who tells her that everyone in the house is going to be murdered. Lee's daughter, Flora, later disappers and the adults find her hoodie atop a massive pine tree.

And that's how the episode ends.

In my opinion, this episode made way more sense and if left me really curious to know more, and mostly, thinking that is a real story, it leaves me really curious!

So, tell me in the comments your thoughts about this episode and expect a new update in a few hours with the rant of the episode 3.

Love,

Daniela.

American Horror Story: Roanoke | Season 6 Episode 1 - "Chapter 1"

Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone! 

Finally, the blog is 'up' again, after a long long hiatus. And, just like last year, the first post is an 'American Horror Story' rant but, unlike the last time, this isn't a 'good start'.

That's right guys,my first opinion about American Horror Story's new season isn't the best.

First of all, I must say I didn't really like this new format, simulating a 'documentary'. Second, I found it a bit confusing and, since we didn't know the theme of this years season, I really didn't know what to expect from this, which could be a good thing, but ended up being the opposite.

But, about the actual story... 

I feel like this was just an introduction to the theme (which is still kind of confusing to me) and to the characters. Aparently, this is based on a true story, which makes it a bit more interesting, about Matt and Shelby, who are a couple that decide to move to North Carolina to escape some tragic events. Until now, nothing really creepy but, as you can expect, that's about to come.

The couple moves to an 'abandoned' house (which is already a sign of creepy stuff to come) and that's when the creepy things start to happen, mostly to Shelby. One of the 'coolest'/creepiest things where the teeth falling from the sky, which I quite enjoyed to be honest. Also, all the pig stuff was cool, but left me really confused about everything that was going on.

Really, from this episode, I couldn't find out what was going on in that town and in that house, leaving me really curious to know more and to see more episodes.

Anyway so, after those creepy events, Matt has to leave in a business trip so, in order to not leave Shealby alone, he asks his sister Lee to stay with her and that's when the experience the creepiest thing of them all.

Some creepy people invade the house wielding knives and torches, leaving behind creepy totems and a video of a man being killed by some type of creature who has a pig head. (I know, super creepy).

Shelby wants to leave the house but Matt doesn't so Shelby decides to just escape alone in Matt's car, and that's when she hits a woman on the road. The woman isn't dead nor injured and just runs into the woods and, obviously, Shelby goes after her. She ends up getting lost in the woods and that's when she falls victim of a sinister 'ritual'. And, that's how the episode ends.

After the episode, I ended up searching for the story of the roanoke colony and I found out some pretty interesting stuff that helped me understang better the story of, which seems being the theme of this years American Horror Story so, if you're confused, just do a bit of research and you'll understand it a little bit better.

Anyway, afterall, I was a bit disappointed with this season. All the trailers and all the mistery seemed like this season was going to be huge but, from what I see in this episode, is just going to be... ok... But, let's see, maybe I'm wrong.

So, let me know your thoughts about this season in the comments or in any of my social media and I'll see you next week with a new American Horror Story rant.

Love,

Daniela.
