Recap - American Horror Story: Hotel (Ep. 1)
American Horror Story: Hotel, Season 5, Episode 1
Title: "Checking In"
Aired: 10/7/2015
Synopsis: In this premiere, we meet quite a few of the characters who occupy the Hotel Cortez; Iris (Kathy Bates), Hypodermic Sally (Sara Paulson), Det. John Lowe (Wes Bentley), (Donovan) Matt Bomer, Dr. Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevingny), Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare), Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson), The Countess (Lady Gaga), and Gabriel (Max Greenfield).
The Hotel Cortez seems to be a place where people come to stay...forever! Kidding aside, that's one of the main pieces of info we learn in this episode. The other is that Det. Lowe has been working a grisly case involving a very creative serial killer. He's checking into the Cortez because his son has been kidnapped (presumably by the serial killer) and his wife, Alex, can't be in the same house as him on account of him looking so much like their missing son.
This first episode is definitely a setup for what could potentially be a pretty awesome season. Here's hoping they don't blow it.
31 | The Visit
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Writer: M. Night Shyamalan
Starring: Olivia DeJong, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan
Synopsis: Two kiddos travel to their grandparents' house - whom they've never met before - to visit for a week while their mom takes a cruise with her boyfriend. At first, things seem to go fairly well; just kids getting used to your typical "weird old people" things. However, it isn't long before things begin to go from weird to WTAF.
Next on the menu...Eli Roth's bloody homage to cannibal-related horror, The Green Inferno. So pack a meal, gather your weak-stomached friends, and join us as we digest and dissect this gory flick.
