Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly Jan 21, 2015
When you title an episode of American Horror Story "Blood Bath," you know it's definitely figurative and you worry it might be literal. Then you see that "Blood Bath" is credited to AHS demon lord Ryan Murphy, and you know it's definitely literal. Go to Full Review Emily L. Stephens AV Club Jan 21, 2015
B-
Twisted family imagery and language pervades "Blood Bath," and blood ties are no safer than figurative families. Go to Full Review Lauren McEwen Washington Post Jan 21, 2015
The title of this week's episode is appropriate in more ways than one. The death count spikes as loose ends are tied, revenge is sought and Dandy takes another step toward his goal of being the most terrifyingly evil brat of all time. Go to Full Review Angela L. Harmon The NitPic Dec 16, 2019
Last episode, I thought I was totally done with this show. But as Tina Belcher would say, "just when I think I'm out, [it] pulls me right back in." Go to Full Review Lacy Baugher Baltimore Sun Jan 21, 2015
When an episode is titled "Blood Bath," you kind of expect a lot. You don't necessarily expect it to be literal, though. Oh, wait. This is American Horror Story. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant Jan 21, 2015
All in all, "Blood Bath" does what it can to bring the various storylines together under one roof (or tent, as it were), and for the most part it succeeds. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
