	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"AHS derives inspiration from so many horror films there's some fun in simply identifying those moments. But there's also a surreal quality that feels wildly overdone"	NEU
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"'AHS' is pretty much all scare, all the time: a whole lotta screams, sex, jolts, mashed faces, psychotic behavior, and dead babies"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Overdoing things is one of Murphy's trademark flaws, but this show has a captivating style and giddy gross-outs"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Even if it isn't the scariest series ever, 'Horror Story' still has tasty performances by several characters, chief among them Lange and Conroy"	POS
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"The scariest thing about 'American Horror Story' (...) is that almost everything in the entire show has been cribbed (...) from every other American horror story (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"As with so many stories that are held at a constant rolling boil, the excess quickly becomes funny rather than frightening (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
