American Horror Story: Delicate sees season 12 of the anthology show touch on a topic that has been central to countless horror flops in recent years.
While American Horror Story season 12 is hotly anticipated, the anthology horror show’s latest outing runs a major risk by focusing on a problematic story trend. American Horror Story has never shied away from difficult stories. The wild horror anthology series frequently risks ridicule by mixing campy melodrama with violent supernatural horror.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT These limits will be pushed by American Horror Story season 12’s story, which focuses on a genre theme that has recently floundered with critics. American Horror Story: Delicate is the first season of the series to be adapted from a novel.
AHS Season 12 Revives The Unsuccessful Pregnancy Horror Trend Judging by the synopsis of its source material, American Horror Story: Delicate will be an unapologetic pregnancy horror story. Between the largely unfavorable receptions of 2023’s Baby Ruby, 2021’s False Positive, 2016’s Visions, 2023’s Unwelcome, and 2022’s Bed Rest, it is fair to say that pregnancy horror is having a hard time with critics right now.
While American Horror Story season 11, NYC, took a similar risk by focusing on the AIDS crisis, this was not a topic that had recently been the subject of numerous unsuccessful horror movies in recent years. In contrast, pregnancy horror has been going through a revival in the last decade, but the sub-genre has struggled to win over reviewers throughout this time. As such, American Horror Story: Delicate is getting the worst of both worlds.
Why American Horror Story: Delicate Could Bring Back Pregnancy Horror While American Horror Story season 12’s casting alone rang alarm bells, the goofiness of the show could be an asset in this instance. The lone well-regarded pregnancy horror movie of recent years, 2019’s Snatchers, was an outrageous, over-the-top horror comedy.
