American Horror Story: Hotel [Blu-ray]

I'm addicted to AMERICAN HORROR STORY and love every season. It's fun to see actors return in different roles each season and to see new actors appear. Let me make it clear. AMERICAN HORROR STORY is not for everyone and many people will be unnerved by all of the murder, mayhem and torture. If you like an other world sort of show, nothing can been AMERICAN HORRY STORY. In HOTEL, the evil-doings take place in the HOTEL CORTEZ. Its ART DECO lobby is very inviting though some of the rooms are not very welcoming. The series takes us right into the murders. It's amazing how many guests check into the HOTEL CORTEZ only to stay for eternity. I am too logical at times wondering why the police never make any connection to the dozens of people missing in Los Angeles to the Hotel Cortez. Then there is the 10 Commandments Serial Killer. This season takes us all over the map and sometimes that can be too overwhelming. There are just too many stories and subplots to follow. I do find fun in the back stories as to how people came up the CORTEZ to become eternal residents. One of the confusing parts of HOTEL is figuring out who is dead and who is in some form of altered state of existence. That brings us to Lady Gaga and her stable of men. Gaga is gorgeous and her look and hairstyle reminded me of Argentina's First Lady Eva Peron. Gaga is mistress of the Hotel Cortez and she is some sort of modified vampire. There is a virus that infects the blood that creates an everlastingly young but still human vampire. (Yes, they can be killed) Evil Gaga goes on killing sprees with her razor sharp fingernail creating more vampires. Here is where it gets unnerving and HOTEL really and starts to cross the line. Children are turned into vampires and go on killing sprees. Ending up at the Cortez isn't always bad. Eternal youth can be fun if you are a young guy "stuck" with two gorgeous and eager Swedish tourists. Not everyone who dies at the Cortez seems to be seen again though maybe the writers just couldn't squeeze everyone in. Kathy Bates as Iris and Denis O'Hare as Liz Taylor are the only human permanent residents of the hotel. Yes, it gets confusing as they know what is going on and somehow coexist with the lost souls and vampires inhabiting the hotel--never warning guests of their potential fate. Rude or immoral guests seem to be fair game yet what about the average tourists looking for a room for the night? O'Hare is an interesting addition this year as transvestite Liz Taylor. Her back story and how she came to the Cortez and finally find a place to express her inner female is interesting. This is an odd yet interesting season with a wealth of stories and characters. And if you are a main character killed off, you just come back as silent film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino--yes, they seem to be stretching all aspects of the story here. The first episodes are especially gruesome and graphic in violence and sexual nature. It can all get overwhelming but the story and the characters demand attention. If you are easily upset or stay away from this hotel. These stories will haunt your nightmares. Yes, HOTEL can lose its way at times but it is pure American Horror.

There have only been a small hand full of shows over the years to manage to render me into a die hard, can't get enough fangirl. The intensity and longevity of those have been remote in comparison to how utterly enthralled I've remained under Ryan Murphy's spell in direct and sole consequence of this masterpiece better known as American Horror Story. The quality of every aspect that goes into creating each episode of every season is unrivaled and unlike anything else I could possibly reference in respect to. I can't get enough and struggle to get by week to week just waiting for the next episode. Lady Gaga this season has been a pleasant suprise in terms of new addition acting talent. I wasn't that much of a fan to be honest although I've always recognized the level of talent she brings to her projects. I suspected she'd do well but she has exceeded any previous expectation and been truly phenomenal in every scene she's done thus far. Evan Peters as always is beyond fantastic and probably my favorite talent still to date on the show. His character this season only reaffirms how broadly ranged in talent he has. As much and I mean as much as I love this show I don't know how I could continue to fully appreciate it in the notion he wasn't on it anymore. Everybody this season is pretty great. Notably Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare, Finn Wittrock, Angela Bassett, Matt Bomer probably the most of all . I wish Matt Bomer had more scenes as I think he's pretty great and being under featured although I realize how big the cast is. I also most obviously of all am not one to forget the missing presence of Jessica Lange. In a way it seems like the bloating of well known talented cast additions (staple members and all) was some sort of effort to distract the audience away from that fact. Although don't get me wrong, I love everyone, guest stars and all, the over extension of casting in a side effect naturally, at least for me, causes me to be more prone to notice the fewer and fewer air time their is to divide between them and oftentimes excludes many altogether from episodes. I realize there's only 13 eposodes every season and the pace and character developmemt opportunity creates some added challenges and limitations to make everyone happy but still. I personally could have done without the Wes Bentley/Chloe Sevigny/Cheyenne Jackson parts although I can see some necessity for them to counter balance the more evil characters. They're all talented but I find myself least interested or captivated by their scenes. I also have to mention how great Lily Rabe was as Aileen Wuornos. I would have rather seen her in the main cast over the previous 3 mentioned. I also desperately feel withdrawals missing aside from Jessica, Taissa Farmiga and Frances Conroy. Although I can see how Taissa might be perceived as not fit for this year's setting and darker than most undertone I still find her amazing at everything she does and deeply hope Ryan brings her back next season. I've been watching "Wicked City" (in spite of hating the premise) for Taissa alone and secretly wanted it to be cancelled so she wouldn't be tied up for years with that show like Connie Britton did with "Nashville." I'm a little happy it was in a bittersweet way and see it as a hopeful sign that Taissa will return most likely by next season. Frances Conroy also being absent feels like another wrong violation. No Jessica AND no Frances? Ryan Murphy's tripping if he thought trying to overiinflate the cast with an excessive amount of pretty boy brunettes (Matt Bomer, Finn Wittrock, Cheyenne Jackson and Wes Bentley? Evan's in his own league and an A list veteran so he doesn't count... I'm glad he's brunette this year and I like that Evan seems to go back to blonde for Taissa seasons) would make up for those missing faces. It's just a little much. Plus there was Max Greenfield in the beginning of the season too... Too many dudes Ryan Murphy. It's hard to remember and keep them all straight for anyone I later explain it to as a late newcomer. Aside from those things the season is still one of the best and more so even a little because it manages to be while missing or lacking with my favorite ladies Jessica, Taissa, Frances and Lily. Murder House is the obvious front runner, holy grail favorite/best season followed for me by Coven tied so far with Hotel, then Asylum followed lastly by Freak Show (the only season I struggled a bit to get through). This season is not one you want to miss.

Film 18+ , jednak jeżeli ktoś lubi typowe thrillery oraz różno obyczajowe sceny najbardziej polecam . Sama płyta dosyć rzadka jak na American Horror Story .

Una de las mejores temporadas de American Horror Story.

American Horror Story ya no estará disponible en Netflix, por lo que me urgía verla. Amazon fue mi opción más inmediata, encargué la serie enBlu-ray ya que en las tiendas de Guadalajara, México no está disponible y llegó a mi a la siguiente semana. Esta quinta temporada me ha sorprendido bastante de forma muy positiva, es demasiado violenta, con suficiente horror para los que somos fans del género, la producción es impecable, las actuaciones muy buenas en especial la de la fabulosa Lady Gaga y la música es genial. Si eres fan de la serie te recomiendo esta temporada, si no has visto la serie puedes comenzar a verla con esta temporada.

Même si selon moi, ce n'est pas la meilleure. Cependant, à ma grande surprise, Lady Gaga est une bonne actrice et assure plutôt bien la relève de Jessica Lange. Cette version Bluray VO dispose des sous-titres VF ainsi que de la version audio française même s'il n'est pas noté au dos du coffret! De plus, il est moins cher que la version boîte VF ! C'est également le cas pour les autres saisons.

With echoes of The Shining’s Overview and shades of Psychoes Bates Motel I found this the best of the series, of the popular bloodthirsty series. For Hotel we check in to the Californian downtown Cortez, an art décor grand hotel which has seen better days! As this is American Horror Story its full of surprises, I found every episode led me up a roller coaster higher and higher, meeting superb characters of the Cortez predominantly from the spirit world. Lady Gaga amazing, as the flamboyant timeless countess, in a roll she was made to play and rocketed to her Golden globe award for this part! Also AHS favourites Evan Peters plays an astonishing part as the 1920’s eccentric owner, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett and Sarah Paulson also star. There’s so much activity at the grisly Cortez, the humour dark! With a transvestite, bartender, a housekeeper from the 1920s a cameo appearance from Naomi Campbell. Many times the80s 90s backing pop tracks seemed more like an MTV pop video! Residents check in but never check out alive! You need an open mind for AHS Hotel as its sexy, camp, stylish and downright gory. There’s vampires, immortal serial killers……. and a whole lot of fun. The best of the series!!!!
