"American Horror Story" was created by the co-creators of "Glee," but the shows have little in common besides that. The show revolves around the Harmons, a family of three, who move from Boston to Los Angeles in order to reconcile past anguish. What the Harmons don't know is that the house they've moved into is haunted. But it's not haunted by Casperesque friendly ghosts -- it's haunted by demonic creatures. The creatures have a history of not only spooking the house's residents but also devouring them. After living in this house, family patriarch and psychiatrist, Ben, may need a shrink of his own.

A near-perfect blend of slasher tropes and American Horror Story's trademark twists, 1984 is a bloody good time.

Like any season of AHS (save for maybe Asylum), 1984 can be hit or miss depending on which episode...but there are plenty of fun moments to be found throughout. Go to Full Review

The season provides much fun, especially for the fans that seek nostalgia in cinema and television. That is precisely the essence of AHS: 1984the fantastic narrative that is a return to the slasher culture and the subgenres birth. Go to Full Review

That's not to say AHS: 1984 isn't a good show, but there's definitely a level of camp this season is trying to achieve that doesn't lend itself to heart-stopping terror. Go to Full Review

Roger Wayne A @Rogeradams6oh6 Dec 29 This was a good season. Love the 80s theme. See more dede w Dec 15 this was spuriously fire, I enjoyed it good plot! See more Vagner S Nov 26 A good homage to classic slasher films, 1984 managed to do something different despite an uninspired ending, and it built an excellent narrative. See more Nicky A Nov 24 Surprisingly great season with a good story line and great pacing. Not necessarily what I expected from AHS. I was pleasantly surprised with this season See more Laurian D @Laurian Nov 20 This is an awesome season. It nails the 80's atmosphere and the pacing is perfect. Couldn't have hoped for more 😊 See more Estefano T Sep 23 Ni siquiera se por donde empezar, esta temporada está por lejos en mi top 3 de AHS sí quieres historia, ambiente, soundtrack, efectos especiales probablemente lo tendrás todo en ella, tiene uno de los cierres más satisfactorios y un desarrollo de personajes tan interesante y fantástico a la vez, no es por nada que esta temporada la puedo disfrutar una y otra vez sin descanso y cada tiempo que pasa al repetirla se siente tan fresca y envejece tan bien, termino esta reseña con la frase característica de la temporada: los ochentas nunca morirán See more Read all reviews
