American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 10 "Chapter 10" Review

Lee Harris, the lone survivor of Return to Roanoke: Three Days in Hell, agrees to an interview live on television, the Lana Winters Special.

This was a very interesting way to end this season that had plenty of surprises and fun to it. I knew going into this episode that some way some how Lee was not going to make it to the end, and I was right about that. I did really like that they brought Lana Winters back and they did a good job at bringing back some of the things from Asylum and kind of explaining in little bits what Lana has been up to since Asylum. Then the actual interview between Lee and Lana was really cool with how they interacted with each other and it was made even better by how they were interrupted. This episode was a little weird with how much it jumped around from story to story but it also made some sense because they needed to do that in order to wrap everything up nicely. The beginning moments with the court cases was a little weird and felt like it went on for a bit too long. I did feel bad for Flora because everyone seemed to push off her thoughts as just being a scared kid who went through some tough times. The ghost hunters going into the Roanoke house to investigate the hauntings was really fun and I laughed at the line that was like "people have been asking to investigate this house for years and been denied, so we didn't ask." And when Lee popped up I thought she had gone all butcher crazy again and kill them all, but that didn't happen. I do wish they would have shown a bit more of some of the ghosts in those final moments, but still what they did show was really fun. Then the standoff with the police at the house was interesting especially when you just focus on Flora's part in all of it. It is still a little weird to me with how dedicated Flora seems to be with Priscilla. And the final choice that Lee made for Flora was very interesting and kind of unexpected, but at least in that way, no one else will own the house. Then the actual ending was a little confusing because I saw the villagers and the butcher coming up to the house so did they kill all the police and cameramen standing outside the house watching it burn or were the ghost just watching the house too. Overall this was a really great season I would probably place it in the number three spot of the seasons so far, and I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next season.     

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 9 "Chapter 9" Review

A new actor shows up to the house per Sidney's request; three young adults enter the woods to shoot footage of the blood moon and the history of the house for the web. Meanwhile, Lee, Monet, and Audrey remain on the run.

This was a really great and interesting episode that really kind of summed a lot more of what is gong on and now all that is really left is to end everything. I really liked the inclusion of the Roanoke nightmare fans who get caught up in the blood moon themselves. Just seeing some fresh faces in this episode that didn't start out completely terrified was a little refreshing. The guy they brought in to help out Audrey and Lee was really great to give them a little bit of hope and then just have it taken from them in a second. He was a little annoying with how he seemed to know everything because he was ex-military, and he kept refusing to listen to Lee and Audrey when they clearly know more because they have been living through all the madness. Then them actually being back at the Polk's farm was interesting because the two Polk's that were left managed to do a lot of damage on their own. And where they found all the video tapes and stuff was a little weird because everything seemed to be in opposite rooms from where it should be. Then the randomness of having the witch show up and save Lee at the last minute I didn't really care for but it does make me really curious to see what they will do with her because to some degree she is under the witches control. Then ending moments of this episode were really gory and I was not really expecting everything to go as bad as it did. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what they'll do with the final episode. 

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 8 "Chapter 8" Review

Audrey, Monet, and Lee remain, hostages of the Polks, while Shelby and Dominic try to think of a way to escape the wrath of The Butcher back at the house.

This was a really interesting episode that was really about starting to wrap up this whole season and get down to the last person who survives all of the craziness. All the scenes with Shelby and Dominic were really great with all the craziness they endured at the house and those moments really brought all the past dead together. I have no idea how the two of them managed to survive as long as they did it was actually kind of amazing to watch the two of them deal it attack after attack and not die. Lee was really great in this episode with how she managed to survive everything that was thrown at her. The way she seemed so up for anything just to end up turning on the Polks was really great. Then I loved the scene with the Polks and how the managed to tie the teeth back into everything.I really can't wait to see what will happen to Monet now that she is alone with the last two Polks chasing after her. Then the fact of Lee convincing Audrey to go back to the Polks farm was really great by bringing up they need to delete the film of them killing the Polks when really she just wants to delete the film of her confession of killing Flora's father. Then Lee's change in opinion about Shelby was a little weird because she hated Shelby it seemed up until she heard that Shelby killed Matt and then she just couldn't believe it, and she instead blamed it on Dominic. I really hope in the next few episodes they'll show a bit more of the witch because she still is a mystery to me. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.  

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 7 "Chapter 7" Review

In the second installment of Return to Roanoke as the blood moon rises the members inside the house start to feel the growing presence of danger.

This was a really great episode the took out a lot of things in just one episode which was really shocking to me. I was really wrong about Shelby lasting because he barely made it 5 minutes in this episode , but that was still really cool to see that the members of the house are now truly on their own and have no one looking out for them or coming to help. I did really like all the moments with the group of girls being out in the woods and just having them stumble upon terrible thing after terrible thing. Everything with them was done really well in my opinion and it did have some really annoying shaky camera moments here and there but for me there acting jobs kind of made up for that. It was also really cool that in this episode they finally started to introduce us to the real ghosts that Shelby, Matt, and Lee had to deal with and I loved seeing just how terrifying these ghosts were and it was just really nice to see. I did also like the butcher actress in this episode because she was just crazy and really did the most amount of damage in this episode and in some really brutal ways. Then I was really surprised by Shelby in this episode and I can't wait for the next episode to see what might happen to her. I really want to see more of the witch and see what the witch is really like. Overall I have to say I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 6 "Chapter 6" Review

After the wrap of the show My Roanoke Nightmare, the producer creates a follow-up show called Return to Roanoke, bringing the actors of the previous show and the real Shelby, Matt, and Lee, back to the house.

This was a really great and interesting episode that managed to actually stay pretty interesting despite the fact that it now is basically starting a completely different story. I knew that they would have to go back to the house but the idea of having the real people and the people who played them all have to stay in the house during the blood moon, and that seems like a very interesting plot that I can't wait to see play out. Then the concept that was sort of tossed in there that by the end of the blood moon only one of them is still alive and if it is anybody I think it will be either Audrey or Sidney. Then I really liked the scene where all the actors were in the kitchen talking about how everything must be fake because otherwise the real Shelby, Matt, and Lee wouldn't have chosen to come back, but then Matt walked in and reminded them that they weren't around when the blood moon was going on. That scene was just so great with how calmly Matt shut them all down. Then I liked that a lot of the actors sort of went crazy after playing these people, and because of the maybe, some of them like the Butcher might come back to surprise those in the house. Then the plot that Sidney has to make part of this show that there now filming be about trying to make it so that Lee is finally convicted of the murder of her husband by making it so that she gets stressed out enough that she kills again, I think will be very cool to see how that all plays out. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 5 "Chapter 5" Review

The mob comes for Shelby, Matt, and Flora, but they get help from a new face to escape the Butcher's wrath.

This was a really great episode that managed to cover some things without making this episode to detail. I really liked learning about the original creator of the house and seeing a bit of his whole backstory and what all happened to him. Then it was interesting and kind of surprising to see the guy who owned the house before them and see him just to end up watching him die all over again. It was kind of cool to meet the other kind of crazy family who in the first episode tried to buy the house away from them. It was interesting to see how they actually act and found out that they are working for the Butcher to some extent because they bring in people to send as an offering and if no one shows up then they offer one of their own family members up to be sacrificed. It was kind of surprising to see the Butcher's son go against her and stop Flora from being killed and managed to buy all them enough time to escape. Because of that I kind of can't wait to see what might happen to him in the episodes to come. Then one of the statements that I made in previous reviews was kind of confirmed that the police might know what is going on with the house and choose not to do anything about it because in one scene Lee gets dropped off by the police just to end up having the guy drive away as fast as he can. And I'm curious to see what they are going to do now that everyone is away from the house because there still is five episodes left so something has to happen to bring them back to the house or something. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait to see what the rest of this season will bring. 

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 4 "Chapter 4" Review

Shelby and Matt are saved from someone who could help find Flora. More is learned about the colonist and the Witch

This was a very interesting episode that took a bit of a twist to the story that I was not expecting it to take. I really liked learning more about the Roanoke villagers and what all went on with them to get them all stuck on this plot of land and I also liked finally getting a good look at Prescilla and a bit of what her whole background is. Then learning about some of the other residents was really kind of interesting, but I do feel the fact that everyone who has lived in this house in the past have all died roughly around the same time is a fact that should have been brought up I feel much sooner than this episode. Then the fact that these ghosts can only kill at this specific point in the year is also a fact I feel should have been brought up more recently than this episode. I really liked seeing more of Elias Cunningham and having him be this moment of light that could have gotten them out of there just to end up having him cut out. The witch was an interesting character that I hope to see more of in the episodes to come. I actually really liked the witches whole backstory and maybe because of the fact she is a witch, it may be a possible tie-in to season 3. Then I'm happy that Flora is back in the picture and hopefully we could see a bit more of her in the episodes to come now. Overall this was a really interesting and entertaining episode. 

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 3 "Chapter 3" Review

Nightmares become an inescapable reality as unique stories of people's lives in America reveal the astonishing power of the supernatural.

This was a very interesting and weird episode that I really didn't care for. I really liked finally getting to the backstory of the house and Croatoan becoming a part of the story. The character of the Bucher was really cool but I feel like after a while of her being around I'm going to get pretty annoyed by her. Flora being gone was a story plot that I really liked and it was done really well though this episode up until the ending of this episode where the homeowners just go and make a deal with some ghosts and they all agree. That just seemed weird to me to have all this drama around trying to find Flora just for it to all be fixed with a deal.  Mason in this episode was interesting with the fact of how determined he was to blame everything on Lee, even if his ideas were really crazy. How Mason ended up in this episode was kind of sad though especially because now Flora is kind of stuck there if she is eventually saved. I kind fo like Cricket because he is so weird but he does his job as a psychic so well it makes it really fun. Then the whole ending chuck was just weird and I really didn't care for, but we'll see how all these events will play out in the next episode. Overall this was a decent episode but I didn't care much for it. 

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 2 "Chapter 2 " Review

More weird and strange things happen at the Miller’s new house, every night the events get darker and more creepy. Lee’s daughter comes to stay for a few nights and makes a new imaginary friend who gives the household members a creepy message. Some secrets of the household previous members are reviled.

This was a really entertaining and creepy episode that put a lot of my old horror notions in my brain to the test. There were a lot of moments in this episode that because of how things were framed I really thought that something was going to jump out and grab one of the three main characters but it didn’t happen which put me more of edge whenever it would come up again. Even when they were watching the one video of the guy who owned the house in the 90’s the way the guy was set up I really had the feeling something was going to pop up behind him at any moment. All the things revolving around Pigman in this episode were so great and so creepy. Then the scene where Lee actually starts seeing things was so creepy. I kind of am starting to feel bad for the police officers with all the stuff they have to go through with this family but also I think the police might know more then they are willing to share especially after what the one video showed. It was a little weird that they showed this weird Pigman sacrifice at the beginning of this episode but then never really fully went back to it. Flora was awesome in this episode with how everything around her was done. I don’t quite get how Flora’s father thinks he can convince the judge to take Flora away from Lee just because she lives in a haunted house that says it wants to kill all of them. I really like getting to know some of the ghosts cause now we know Prescilla and I kind of hope to get to know a little more about her. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can’t wait for the next one.

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 1 "Chapter 1" Review

My Roanoke Nightmare follows a couple narrating told in a flashback sense. As the couple recount their move from an incident in Los Angeles , which is reenacted by actors as the story unfolds. Traveling back east and Their purchase of a property in North Carolina seems to have awakened a malevolent spirit residing in the house which was built in 1704. Unusual things occur which finds the need to wire the house with cameras. Now the real bizarre actions start to freak them out even more.

This was a really great episode from what has been shown so far the full sort of story plot is not really reviled I don't think, this was defiantly much more of a setup episode for what might come in future episodes. I did really like the whole style of this being sharing "real" stories of past hunting under like a whole separate show called My Roanoke Nightmare. It really reminded me of when I used to watch a show called A Haunting this episode was stylized much like that show is. The whole beginning chunk of this episode where they were in Los Angeles I felt was really unnecessary but maybe it will be useful in future episodes. The comment made by I think Ryan Murphy where this has some ties to season one are defiantly true because we have Pigman and some other small things that I spotted things that could maybe be ties in the future. The character of Lee I really don't care for that much so far, but with that being said I really didn't care much for any of the three main characters of Lee, Shelby, and Matt I find all them a little annoying. I did really love the one line that Matt says which is "when people come up to your house with pitchforks they aren't there to welcome you to the neighborhood." Then on to the other thing that I think Ryan Murphy said which was that only one of the little teasers is true if that is correct then I would say that the Wind Chime one is the one that is most accurate. But with that being said I think all the teasers might be true to some degree here or there because I could see several things from this first episode that were in a few of the teasers. Overall I really did like this episode and I can't wait to see where it will go.
