American Horror Story (AHS): Hotel is the latest in the wonderfully gratuitous horror anthology series drawing on The Shining, Psycho and Salem’s Lot to name a few; but does it measure up with its predecessors? Starburst finds out!
AHS: Hotel centres around LAPD Detective John Lowe (Wes Bentley) investigating a series of murders all connected by the Ten Commandments. The investigation itself, as well as his own crumbling personal life, draws him to the Hotel Cortez, which is riddled with its own secrets including: The Countess (Lady Gaga) a decades-old vampire who is manipulating the hotel’s new owner (Cheyenne Jackson), the dysfunctional relationship between receptionist Iris (Kathy Bates) and her ex-drug addict son (Matt Bomer), the legacy of the hotel’s original owner, James Patrick March (Evan Peters) as well as the vendetta of ex-Blaxploitation actress Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett). Their lives intermingle as Lowe draws closer to the Ten Commandments
