More twists and turns than an Agatha Christie novel

I love classic horror, and shows/movies that pay homage to classic horror and slasher flicks, all the way back to the original Nosferatu. I love the modern horror movies that people like James Wan, Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, and others make. Throw in some suspense and twists and turns and you have the perfect horror movie, or, in this case, series.

This season of AHS fits the bill, almost completely. There are so many twists and turns that you're never comfortable that you might actually know what is going to happen. The surprises keep coming, and the gore isn't over the top, but it's more the idea of what is being done to some of the victims. Although, with that being said, there is some fairly graphic gore. It's not the cheesy gore of Raimi movies, it's intense.

There is no shortage of "star power" with Kathy Bates, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley, and Adina Porter. Throw in AHS mainstays Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare, Even Peters, Cheyenne Jackson, among others, and you have a solid foundation.

Perhaps the greatest aspect of season 6 is that it doesn't make you feel like you're watching the same AHS actors in "just another story." You completely forget about their other forays in AHS because this season demands your complete attention. If you miss a minute of it, you'll need to rewind to keep up.

As far as horror series, this one is a 10. Pit it against horror movies, and it's a 9. I only gave it a 9 because there are some fairly apparent goofs that should have been caught. But, it's easy to overlook those goofs if you're keeping in tune with the story.

It's definitely worth watching.
