User Reviews

Good,but not great!

Well,seeing as I am from Romania,I could hardly wait for this episode!I saw The X-Files when I was a child,back in the '90,and started watching them again this summer,and I remembered there was an episode about my country!I think this episode was fairly good,and it might seem excellent to you if you're not a Romanian!I think they should have paid more attention to what the actors were speaking,and how they were speaking!It was Romanian,but it was very poorly pronounced,and it kind of took the credibility of this episode,for me at least!If they were indeed Romanians,especially the old lady,they wouldn't have had that accent!Anyway,once you get past that,the special effects are good,and the storyline is also captivating!If you're not from Romania,you won't even notice the accent!
