As a first time watcher on the premiere night of American Horror Story: Coven, I thought I was a little
traumatized from the bloody graphic scenes. The trailer was a pretty scary from
the witches is black capes walking in the woods, to the thick fog, and eerie
sound effects used in the theme song. But the part, which made me look away,
was seeing a man’s eyelids being sown together. Check out the video to see what
I mean.
The episode also, revealed the secret history of witches dating
back three hundred years of the Salem witch trials. The witches now are facing
extinction because the previous generation of witches decided to not have
children to avoid the threats and punishment that many witches are forced to
endure. To protect the remaining witches, parents are sending their young
daughters away to a special school in New Orleans. Below I posted a video which tells more about what to expect in the first episode.
Zoe, a new arrival to the show is whisked away when her
family finds out she has the same “curse” as her grandmother. The girls at the
school decide to welcome Zoe by walking so fast that only Zoe could see them
out of the corner of her eye. At first I thought she was going to be a
sacrifice to these girls with masks on but then the group revealed it was just
a part of initiation.
The part at the end where Zoe uses her “curse” to get
revenge on one of the surviving frat boys that Madison was raped by. So in the
end in a strange way the frat boy ends up getting rapped by Zoe.
Fiona, the long absent Supreme, visits the school to protect
the Coven. Considering Fiona and her daughter Cordelia have different views on
whether to hide powers or not, I believe the two will fight over who is right
during the entire season.
The only thing I did not like was how graphic the sex scenes
were I felt like they could have been two seconds since it was a rape scene.
Then the camera could of faded out of focus to where we did not see every
detail. But overall I gave the episode a B- because the scenes were pretty
horrific but I would of liked to see less of the sexual scenes and more gore.
