Featured review
The stuff of nightmares.
When patients at a renowned cosmetic surgery start dying, Mulder and Scully investigate alleged black magic.
God help anyone who watches this prior to having any kind of surgery or hospital visit, this is enough to put you off for life, it's genuinely one of the most disturbing episodes of all.
Gore, heaps of it, more gore than I think I've seen in any previous episode, levels approaching 18 rated horror movies. The gore isn't just there to shock, it's there for a reason.
It's an exciting, high tempo episode, it moves at pace, I assure you there won't be a single moment where you're bored.
Very well acted and produced, if looks incredibly sharp, at the time some of those special effects would have been top notch, I'm reviewing this almost thirty years on, and they still look pretty good.
That ending, wow that's chilling. I quite like when it's a little ambiguous, it certainly was that.
I actually can't find any faults here, this one had me breathless, 10/10.
