Yawn!

What a blah movie. There's really nothing exciting or interesting happening here.

Where's the circus freaks, the father and son with tails, the fluke, the guy who crawled thru narrow vents to attack Scully? Where's the incestuous hillbillies who keep their half-a-mom on a trolley under the bed?

Seriously guys, *this* is what we've been waiting all these years for? You had many years to write a script and *this* is all you came up with? Was Darin Morgan not available to help you?

This is the most uninteresting story. If it had made it to an "X-Files" episode, we would have forgotten it already. No aliens, no freaks. The villains are barely seen and not really that scary.

The first chase doesn't start till an hour in. The big "freaky-deaky" moment isn't for 1:20 (and it ain't that freaky. They really pulled their punches.) The rest of the movie is padded with Mulder whining at Scully and Scully whining back.

Mulder: "I believe" Scully: "I don't believe".

Multiply that by about 20 times.

The subplots just peter out and go nowhere. No satisfying ending. It's all a wash of beige.

Save your money and maybe buy or rent a boxed set of "X-Files" on DVD. Far more entertaining.
