The supernatural thriller is a stand-alone story in the tradition of some of the show's most acclaimed and beloved episodes, and takes the always-complicated relationship between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in unexpected directions. Mulder continues his unshakable quest for the truth, and Scully, the passionate, ferociously intelligent physician, remains inextricably tied to Mulder's pursuits. (20th Century Fox)

This has had decidedly mixed reviews so I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was good. The sick boy sub-plot was unnecessary and dragged out the ending but overall it was fine. The end credit sequence totally mystified me.
