‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn’ Has a Perfectly Creepy Trailer
Back in 2008, The X-Files had been off the air for six years. So it was a delightful treat for fans when I Want to Believe, the long-anticipated second X-Files feature film, finally arrived in theaters. While the movie more than made back its budget, it wasn’t a smash hit, and critics didn’t offer much praise for its standalone serial-killer story.
