"Red Dawn" is the fifth episode of the ninth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story.
Margaret suggests that they take a boat to reach campers at the other side of the lake and Montana proposes that Chet accompany her.
In the middle of the lake, Margaret strikes Chet with an oar, ties an anchor to his ankle, slices his ear off, and pushes him into the water.
After Montana kills a policeman, she, Ray, and the hitchhiker reminisce about their ghosts being trapped on the camp property.
"Red Dawn" was watched by 1.09 million people during its original broadcast, and gained a 0.5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
The critical consensus reads: "The mystery of Camp Redwood comes to a head in the wicked and gory "Red Dawn.
"[3] Ron Hogan of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4/5, saying, "American Horror Story devolves into mostly people running around with weapons, screaming at one another and trying to kill one another, yet at no time does it feel difficult to follow.
He added, "Given the presence of multiple ghosts on the property, and the “next week on” sneak preview, Camp Redwood isn't quite done yet, even if Brooke seems done.
Even though she criticized Ray and his motive, she had a positive opinion about his and Brooke's "intimate moment", and the twist at the end of it.
Overall, Rosenfield really enjoyed the episode as she concluded her review by "With a satisfying cap like that, American Horror Story could've ended its ninth season right here.
