Scream Queens "Pilot" & "Hell Week"




It's funny and scary but did I mention funny? Scream Queens the latest new series from the creator of Glee and American Horror Story series hits with such a story that it feels like it's mashed up of AHS, Mean Girls and Scream.

When a sorority party goes wrong as a student was killed, twenty years later revenge comes a calling to the campus, but who is the red devil murderer? This series had me hook not from the first scene of the episode but when Emma Roberts was introduce. Playing this mean girl sorority queen that doesn't seem to have an emotion expect fear when the killer comes around.

In the second episode, we get to watch the girls who are trying to get into the sorority, having to go through some tough challenges known as hell week. And along with that they are also trying to keep each other alive.

There's plenty of murders in the first two episodes. But after watching the last scene of the second episode, are some of these students really dead?

Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing in this series as Dean Cathy Munsch. She doesn't like the sorority that Robert's character the president. Curtis is funny and gives some hints that maybe she could be the murderer. I couldn't get enough of watch Curtis hitting on Gracie's father.

There are a few cinematic camera work that gives this series a bit of a feel of AHS. There's so much comedy in this dramatic series that I can't figure that if it's funny or not and some of the jokes did kind of went through my head anyway.

But I can not lie that I did enjoy the series. The mystery has me so interested in who the killer is and who will die.

Overall, I give the "Pilot" a 7.5/10 and "Hell Week" a 8/10.

You can catch "Scream Queens" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on FOX.
