"Home Invasion" continued American Horror Story's storytelling m.o. of building stories out of pieces and planks of other horror stories. The fusion can be very clever. Go to Full Review Julieanne Smolinski New York Magazine/Vulture 08/30/2016
It's worth noting, in an episode that including an abortion, a graphic stabbing, an evil cupcake, and Jessica Lange seducing Vincent Gallo, that I felt most uncomfortable on behalf of the writers. Where can they possibly go from here? Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 08/30/2016

Just how many traumas can one house spur? It seems like it will eventually become so far over-the-top that it will become even more unwieldy than it already is. But who knows? Maybe that's the point. Go to Full Review Ron Hogan Den of Geek 08/30/2016
There's a lot of style with AHS, both visually and aurally, and I think that they've been able to match the style with substance: great cast, great acting, interesting scripts, and a lot of potential down the road. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 08/30/2016
