Scaling back the insanity for a simple, clean story will do wonders for Delicate. It's posh, creepy, and a needed shot in the arm for AHS. Rotten score. Without enough of a sense of campy playfulness, the pace not only drags, but the lack of depth in the script shines especially bright.

Soon after, Anna joins Adeline in chanting, an action that causes Siobhan to disintegrate. As soon as she seemingly dies, the rest of the women disappear. “Delicate” ends with Anna alone in her house, which is still painted red.
