Recently, the highly-anticipated classic horror series American Horror Story launched its 12th season called "Delicate". In September last year, the first half of the show aired, however, due to a massive Hollywood strike, the series was suspended for half a year. Now, the series is finally back in the audience's sight, and the second half is scheduled to be officially broadcast on April 4.
This season, American Horror Story brings together a slew of stars, with Emma Roberts returning and Kim Kardashian and Carla Delevai making their debuts.
Despite its star-studded brilliance, the show's reputation is not satisfactory. The reason is that the screenwriter borrowed too much from the classic 1968 movie "Rosemary's Baby", resulting in a plot that is too old-fashioned and predictable. The show is based on Roman Polanski's masterpiece "Rosemary's Baby", but the series directly follows many of the original settings. The screenwriter has said that "American Horror 12" can be seen as a modern remake of the film.
The first episode of "American Horror 12" premiered, and the reviews were relatively positive. But the subsequent delay and the plot are not very fresh, which makes netizens' evaluations worse.
At present, the rating of the twelfth season of "American Horror Story" has become the lowest in the whole series, and its rating hovers around six points on both overseas and Chinese film review websites.
"American Horror Story" is a horror series produced by FX TV and created by the talented producer Ryan Murphy. Since its premiere in 2011, the show has gone through 12 seasons, won 16 Emmy Awards, and created unforgettable characters such as Sister Banana and Aunt Lan, which can be called a national longevity drama.
However, the quality of the show has declined in recent years, and it is often criticized by fans of the show, saying that it has "fallen off the altar".
It is said that every part of the show "American Horror Story" starts high and goes low, and now FX TV will always change the hexagram when it airs to the third and fourth episodes, putting pressure on the team, compressing the broadcast time, and the later quarters are even compressed to ten episodes per quarter, and each episode is also compressed to 38 minutes.
This also put a lot of pressure on the editor and director, resulting in loopholes in the plot and a worse and worse reputation.
All in all, "American Horror Story" is facing great difficulties, and if it continues to go high and low in the usual way of "eyeballs", the series may be on its way to extinction.
