Kyle Cooper - American Horror Story



This is my favourite Kyle Cooper opening sequence as I find it disturbing and enticing. It begins silent with an extremely fast pan of a shadowy brick awl; straight into the hallway of an the asylum, there are light leaks and the sections of footage are quick and flash on the screen momentarily we see a clearly sick woman and an extreme close up of an eye, we begin to hear a mechanical sound which is repeated. we then hear louder noises which are scary and begin to crash and make the audience feel uncomfortable. There are light notes of a piano playing underneath and the last image we see is of a statue of Mary in which we see her face change.
I love the tension this scene builds and I feel the short sharp, quick changing shots compliment the light leaks and strange/haunting music.
