We were genuinely excited to revisit The X-Files: I Want to Believe with the new Von Frankenstein cut, hoping this version might improve one of the franchise’s most divisive movies.
Unfortunately… we think it made it worse. In this Gen X Reviews episode, we break down what changed, what didn’t work for us, and why we walked away even more disappointed than we were with the original cut. If you’re an X-Files fan, tell us what YOU thought—did the recut improve the movie, or make it worse?
The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn is an R-rated director’s cut of the 2008 film The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Released on Hulu and Disney+ on August 14, 2026, this 98-minute cut restores creator Chris Carter's original, darker horror vision and graphic body-horror sequences that were trimmed for a PG-13 rating.
