THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE (15) **

Director: Chris Carter Running time: 104 minutes

WHO hasn't walked into a movie late and tried desperately to catch up with the plot, and work out what's on the screen? For those not washed in the blood, that's what it's like to watch the new X- Files film. More than 10 years ago the X-Files television series was a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to a canny mix of uncanny elements that resonate like a tuning fork struck against the fearful and suspicious skull of the pre-millennium American. So what brings us back? Maybe there are loose ends dangling, or maybe everyone noticed the huge amount of money The Simpsons and Sex And The City movies generated.
