American Horror Story - S7 • E1 Ratings & Reviews

Beth McDonough
American Horror Story: Cult is using a setting and storyline that might draw on first-timers who are as shocked by this first episode as they were on election night.
Refinery29
Sesali Bowen
The season seven premiere was more chilling than I was ready for - and I've been watching it since it's beginning in 2011.
The Young Folks
Jon Winkler
So first question is the obvious one: How is Cult doing so far at its satire of Trump's America? So far, not too bad.
TIME Magazine
Daniel D'Addario
Perhaps best of all, it really is a horror story. One that uses artful cinematography and remarkable performances.
Detroit Free Press
Julie Hinds
When a key characters grabs a bottle of rosé as a potential defense weapon in the first episode, it's clear there isn't enough wine in the universe to make this mess go away.
Independent (UK)
Clarisse Loughrey
Cult plunges headfirst into a topic numbingly huge in its implications, and the results are fairly disconcerting.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
While it remains to be seen whether or not the rest of the season lives up to the premiere, so good so far. Now bring on the Cult- and the bees.
Entertainment Weekly
Kat Rosenfield
While this year's series brings plenty of out-there scares (including a veritable smorgasbord of sexually deviant clowns with nightmarishly giant heads, if that's what you're into), it kicks off with a horror ripped straight from reality.
Washington Post
Emily Yahr
The twist feels like a classic Ryan Murphy moment: As the creator of AHS (as well as Nip/Tuck, Glee and many more), he loves turning tropes upside down
The Verge
Kaitlyn Tiffany
You'll be scared. I mean, this was always supposed to be a show about the worst things a person will do when they're American and afraid.
AV Club
Molly Horan
It's effective if a bit on the nose -- whatever side of the aisle you're on, it paints a chilling picture of emotions hitting a boiling point.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Cult is off to a promising start with an episode that, at best, attempts to examine, through a satirical and sinister lens, post-election paranoia.
TV Fanatic
Caralynn Lippo
The scary clown sequences (particularly at the grocery store) are fantastically shot. There's a mounting sense of dread that really mimics the slow rise of anxiety to full-on panic attack status. Even the way it is filmed is perfect.
Slate
Willa Paskin
... the scariest thing about American Horror Story, the world we are actually living in, remains even after you turn it off.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Moylan
Paulson is playing an unhinged woman perfectly, and Ally surely has more than her fair share of problems. Just like the rest of America, it seems like she's being gas-lit by current events.
Den of Geek
Tony Sokol
All tricks and no treats, it makes Halloween look candy-ass.
Vanity Fair
Laura Bradley
It's always ill advised to try and predict Ryan Murphy's next move, so perhaps for now we'll just focus on getting the clowns out of our brains before it's time to sleep.
TV Guide
Keisha Hatchett
[Evan Peters' Kai is] turning out to be the show's scariest villain in years. That's not to say the reemergence of Twisty during that grotesque comic book sequence in the premiere didn't have us reaching for the covers (and a puke bucket).
Uproxx
Stacey Ritzen
If Murphy doesn't fill in the blanks in the coming episodes this might end up being the most confusing season yet. Now that is a scary thought.
Slant Magazine
Aaron Riccio
The episode's random acts of violence don't confront fear so much as exploit it.
