AHS Roanoke – the complete 6th season
Presented as a paranormal documentary series titled My Roanoke Nightmare, the
story follows a married couple whose experiences are reenacted by actors. Shelby
(Lily Rabe) and Matt Miller (André Holland) move from Los Angeles, California,
to a house in North Carolina following a brutal assault which left Matt
temporarily hospitalized and caused Shelby to have a miscarriage. As soon as the
couple settles into their new home, set in the Roanoke Island, strange and
paranormal occurrences begin to haunt them and Matt's sister, Lee Harris (Adina
Porter). In the five-episode documentary, Shelby is portrayed by the extravagant
English actress Audrey Tindall (Sarah Paulson), Matt by the conceited Dominic
Banks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and Lee by the alcoholic Monet Tumusiime (Angela
Bassett).
Critic Reviews:
- “Between the tensions among the trio and the potential resurrection of
the documentary presentation, consider us teased and tempted back into the
haunted house.” – MTV
- “Indeed, the setting is Roanoke. But where this new season might go
from there wasn't clear by the end of the season premiere, a pretty riveting
piece of classic horror.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch
- “There's a return here to the slow-burn, old school horror which
characterised the earlier seasons, making this episode fairly notable in how
little it actually reveals.” – Independent (UK)
