Recap: American Horror Story Asylum S2 E3 – Nor’easter
In the present Teresa stabs Bloody Face which gives her just enough time to try to get away while dragging Leo’s body with her. As she tries to make her getaway she runs right into Bloody Face. She turns to run the opposite direction only to see ANOTHER Bloody Face in the distance. He pulls out a gun and shoots the couple then the two Bloody Face’s reveal to be young men in masks. One doesn’t look so excited about what they did and the other looks to be getting a kick out of it. The unsure guy tells the other guy that he feels uneasy about the whole thing and then notices Leo’s arm is ripped off. That’s when they turn around and see the REAL Bloody Face right behind them.
Back in 1964 Sister Eunice comes to Sister Jude and let’s her know that a big storm is coming. She hands Sister Jude some mail and notices a newspaper from 1949 with a headline regarding a hit and run that Sister Jude was involved in. Dr. Arden starts to take a look at the microchip he extracted from Kit’s neck and chops it into pieces. Much to his surprise he watches as it all comes back together.
While Sister Jude is doing some baking in the kitchen Dr. Thredson comes to talk with her . He mentions something about her possibly having a guilty conscience and she automatically asks him “Where did you get the newspaper from?!”. He quickly lets her know that he has no idea what she’s talking about.
Sister Eunice goes to visit a patient in her room and she quickly notices the evil in her. She has her kneel down to say prayers and as soon as she starts reciting them Eunice takes a pair of scissors and stabs the lady in the neck and chest repeatedly causing blood to fly everywhere. Eunice then heads to Dr. Arden’s office and he flirts lightly with her. She basically tells him she knows that he wants her and proceeds to make advances towards him. He becomes disgusted and enraged and tells her to leave.
Sister Jude begins to recieve mysterious phone calls from a little girl saying that she left her there and that she didn’t even bother to get out of the car. Jude breaks down and starts to cry telling the little girl she was so sorry.
Sister Jude starts to drink the communion wine and then gathers everyone together to watch a movie to get everyone’s mind off the imposing storm. Lana, Grace and Kit attempt to make another escape. Jude notices something is going on and calls all the guards out. Shelley (the resident nympho) tries to help by groping one of the guards as they try to make a break for it. While all of this is going on Dr. Arden has completely flipped and starts putting lipstick and drawing nipples on the statue of the Virgin Mary. He then proceeds to push the statue down and it shatters.
Shelley stops fooling around with the guard and attempts to run away but runs right into Dr. Arden. Lana, Kit and Grace are shown trying to escape in the rain outside but run into some sort of feral “people”. Dr. Arden takes Shelley to his office and ends up raping her the knocking her out. Lana, Kit and Grace secretly return back to the rest of the patients watching the movie like nothing ever happened.
When Shelley wakes up she is laid across an operating table. She tries to get free and Dr. Arden lets her know that everything is going to be fine and that his surgery skills are impeccable. He pulls back the sheet that’s over her to show that he amputated both of her legs.
WOW. Things seem to be getting more and more intense as each episode goes by. Sister Eunice looks like she’s going to be stirring the pot in the Asylum and Sister Jude looks to be on the verge of cracking. Dr. Arden is on totally different level at this point and whatever darkness is within him is starting to come out in full force. Nothing is more creepier than a crazy doctor with a scalpel.

Recap: American Horror Story Asylum S2 E1 – Welcome to Briarcliff
Let’s jump right in shall we?
This season starts out creepy right away with two lovers named Leo and Teresa (played by Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan-Tatum) walking up to an abandoned Briarcliff Asylum. Teresa loves the creep factor of the place and they decide to sneak inside to look around. After getting rather frisky they do more exploring and find a locked room with a slot in the door. Leo sticks his arm in there to inspect it more and gets his arm ripped clean off by someTHING on the other side of the door.
Prometheus: Review
Ridley Scott makes his way back to the genre that put his name on the map. Starring Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender as part of the crew of a spaceship called Prometheus. After finding similar markings (that turns out to be a star map) on Earth that spans various cultures over thousands of years they decide the embark on a mission to find the origins of the human race. It’s not until they get to their destination that they realize that there may be more to the story than they think.
I personally have been excited about this film for a while now. I’m a big sci-fi movie lover and a huge fan of the Alien franchise so when I heard that this movie was being made with Ridely Scott in the directors chair I couldn’t help but get kind of giddy. As more details started coming out about the film and an official synopsis was released I think made people a bit dissapointed and possibly confused about how/if this was going to be connected to any of the previous Alien films. With that being said when I made my way to the theater to watch it I went with a total open mind and completely told myself to disregard any of the other films. That is the best thing to do when watching this film. Ridley Scott succeeded in his comeback to the sci-fi/horror genre and Jon Spaihts/Damon Lindelof did a great job at writing a script the really made the viewer think and try to piece certain parts of the story together in their head (Lindelof is noteably the co-creator of the TV show Lost). The film was a bit controversial to the public in the sense that not alot of people “got it”. I think a better part of the audience felt like it left them with more questions rathter than answers but rest assured, the answers are there. People went in expecting an Alien film when in fact it is a stand alone film that does have certain nods to the franchise but has a life of its own. I must say that I did go see it twice because I wanted to have a better understanding of some aspects of the film but its not necessary to do so. I loved this movie and its a great conversation piece as far as discussing the film and its theories on the creation of life.
Side Note: There is a small scene at the end that is a MUST SEE
