TV Series. Horror. Thriller TV Series (2017). 11 Episodes. The season will begin on election night in Michigan, with the real 2016 presidential election serving as a jumping off point for this year's horror story. The first 10 minutes will involve the real Trump and Clinton election, though no actors will be taking on the roles. Instead, something terrible happens in the lives of the characters as they are watching the election go down.

	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Not subtle, but often disturbing and clever (...) Perhaps the franchise's most focused and funny entry to date (...) [I'm] amused by some of the sharp social satire and endlessly impressed by Paulson"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Here’s where Season 7 starts to go off the rails: clowns (...) It adds up to a confounding experience that, at best, is easily forgotten and at worst is offensive to all parties."	NEG
United States	Bill Keveney USA Today	"Give 'Cult' credit for trying to connect with the current cultural mood. though it offers over-the-top stereotyping of both sides as well as spot-on insight (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jake Nevins The Guardian	"Messy but gripping (...) Details are abundant, menacing, and often deliberately symbolic (...) (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"While the characteristically acerbic writing includes witty barbs and observations (...) the finer points are lost in lurid imagery and cheap scares, masquerading as smart TV."	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"As a first draft of political-cultural history, it’s a cartoonish mess. But in its feverish way, it captures the feeling of living inside a joke that’s gone out of control."	NEU
United Kingdom	Jonathan Bernstein Telegraph	"Sarah Paulson is a peerless performer but watching her cower, scream and unravel is less effective (...) The competing channels are filled with far scarier clowns (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"Perhaps best of all, it really is a horror story. One that uses artful cinematography and remarkable performances"	POS
