A familiar "X-Files" mystery gets a dark makeover as the original creator returns
Mulder and Scully return in a newly restored version of "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," streaming Aug. 14 on Disney+ and Hulu.
LOS ANGELES -- "The X-Files" is back with a darker take on a familiar story, as creator and director Chris Carter unveils his original vision.
"The X-Files: I Want to Believe" first debuted in 2008 as the second feature film based on the hit series.
The standalone supernatural thriller follows FBI partners Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully as they investigate the mysterious disappearances of several women.
As the case unfolds, Mulder and Scully are forced to confront their past while uncovering a terrifying mystery hidden beneath a frozen landscape.
Now, Carter's fully realized R-rated cut delivers the darker, more unsettling thriller he originally envisioned, inspired by a real-life Dr. Frankenstein.
The restored version offers fans the chance to experience the film in a way it has never been seen before.
"The X-Files: I Want To Believe - Vrach Frankenshteyn" premieres August 14 on Disney+ and Hulu.
The original 2008 film "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" will also be available the same day.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+, Hulu and this ABC station.
