The horror starts immediately this week with the gruesome murders of the production team at the hands of Agnes, aka the butcher. We witness her rapid descent into madness told in a chillingly convincing way by the ever-wonderful Kathy Bates. Sever psychosis blights the actress and she sways between her true self and her portrayal of Thomasin White. Believing herself to be the butcher she wreaks revenge on those who ostracised her from the show and humiliated her on TV.
With Rory dead and no body to be found, his fiancée Audrey believes he has gone to Hollywood to take on a major movie role. Devastated, she doesn’t have much time to grieve for her lost love when Agnes attacks Shelby with a meat cleaver. Lily Rabe delivers an exceptional performance as the injured Shelby and later in the episode her acting is impeccable when she makes a shocking discovery.
In desperate need of help they appeal via the cameras to Sidney to send an ambulance. When no help comes, the remaining women decide to go and find some themselves. Escaping through the secret tunnel under the house, they encounter something more terrifying than the knife-wielding Agnes and both Audrey and Monet are forced to believe the ghost story told by Matt, Shelby and Lee.
Finally free of the tunnel they find themselves lost in the woods with the blood moon high in the sky and night quickly approaching. With the butchers’ tribe hunting for them they flee until they fall prey to the hill-billy neighbours from hell. Will they survive the depraved family? Robin Weigert – who I loved as Calamity Jane in Deadwood - makes a brilliant but disturbing appearance as the matriarch of the weird family.
Back at the house the butcher and her clan have arrived. Will anyone escape alive?
