When a group of women is mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you'd never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere... and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.

5/10
All the strengths and flaws from the original I Want to Believe are still here. That means fans can expect a forgettable, unambitious new case and a largely bland supporting cast. Go to Full Review Michael Cook Geek Vibes Nation 7h
5.5/10
Chris Carter's new director's cut of 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe' proves less radical reimagining and more subtle rejiggering. Go to Full Review Daniel Kurland Dread Central 7h
2/5
In Vrach Frankenshteyn, Chris Carter completes his bold monstrosity. Unfortunately, it’s a largely pointless endeavor that will leave fans wanting to raise their pitchforks and torches in protest, rather than praising this reanimated atrocity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
