Brad Dourif is very impressive as a serial killer who claims psychic powers.
The monster is a human in this one, same as the last one. Only, the last one isn’t worth watching, let alone reviewing, and this one certainly is.
Mulder’s affection for Scully becomes obvious here, at least in a legitimately paternal way. I’m echoing myself, I know, but I couldn’t resist…and it is true.
Points of note: Major event in Scully’s family (and other events) tilts her more towards “belief” in one area at least, Mulder faces death, and Mulder/Scully reverse roles somewhat.
