The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn Debuts Aug. 14

Today, the official trailer and key art for Chris Carter’s highly anticipated director’s cut, The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn, were revealed.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn premieres Aug. 14 on Disney+ and Hulu. The original 2008 film, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, will also be available the same day.

When a group of women is mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace.

In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity.

The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere … and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.

This R-rated version on Disney+ and Hulu represents the film Chris always envisioned — a darker, frightening thriller exploring a real-life Dr. Frankenstein. The restoration gives fans a chance to experience a side of the film that has never been seen before.
