8 Times American Horror Story Went Too Far

Viewed by many fans as the worst season of American Horror Story, Roanoke really went to town with the amount of blood and gore it contained. However, one of the moments where viewers felt this was certainly a bit too far, was the sequence of three friends attempting to document the mystery surrounding Roanoke.

Minor characters in terms of the series as a whole, Milo and Sophie's deaths will definitely be remembered as arguably one of the most grizzly scenes AHS fans have ever seen. American Horror Story is no stranger to frequent references to pop culture horror, and here we witness an immaculately crafted homage to The Blair Witch Project; a film that arguably redefined the sub-genre of found footage within horror.

Sporting Go-Pro's in an attempt to capture the mysterious goings-on in the area, this decision is ultimately what allows us as the audience to witness their deaths in a first-person point of view. The cameras pick up a chilling image of the colonisers as they use two large poles to impale Milo and Sophie and then set their bodies on fire Cannibal Holocaust-style.

Despite leaning into the gory nature of the season with this sequence, there seems to be a general consensus that this particular death scene was just that step too far!
