Voodoo Chilling
Voodoo is the main feature of this classic x-files episode.Suspicious incidents linked to ongoing tensions at a immigration processing center are occurring.The army run the center and a hardline,brutal stance is enforced by Colonel Wharton(Daniel Benzali).He believed the Haitian immigrants to be troublemakers. Relations between the guards and inmates are intense and Colonel Wharton is quick to deny any wrong doing on his behalf when Mulder and Scully investigate. An original take on voodoo,an excellent performance from Daniel Benzali and quality directing makes this a definite must see for any x-files fans. The ending is simply stunning.From to start to finish your hooked

Beware Of Voodoo
Fresh Bones has a major creep-out element to it. Voodoo is a very interesting subject in itself. What I like about this episode is that it shows a different aspect of voodoo. When I think of voodoo I think of sticking pins in dolls. Fresh Bones didn't have any of that, so it was a fresh spin on classic voodoo stories. Colonel Wharton is a very convincing bad guy. I also like the little boy who played Chester Bonaparte. Fresh Bones features atmospheric music that fits the mood of the episode. Towards the end of the episode, there's a very scary and intense scene involving Scully. And the end scene is quite chilling. Fresh Bones is a good scare that will make you not want to visit Haiti any time soon.

Voodoo people, magic people.
Marines based at an immigration detention Centre are committing suicide, Mulder and Scully are on the case.
I did enjoy this episode very much, I am so impressed by the variety of the episodes, we're treated to sci fi, horror, and here voodoo and mysticism, it's a very impressive balance.
I loved the visuals, and enjoyed the implications surrounding death and visions. I liked the unexpected twist.
Made at a time when America seemed to the world to be supportive of immigration, I understand why some of the ideas may upset a few, but would say it is a TV show.
I'm not sure why Scully after recent events has instantly gone back to believing everything out there is black and white, I thought she'd gone beyond that mindset.
Very good. 8/10.

A thirteen yo Jamil Walker Smith. Known for SGU. Playing a totally convincing Bonapart. Who knew what this young actor was capable of. Thank you Chris and the casting department.
Best episode since "Duane Barry" & "Ascension"

Voodoo refugees
I know that the summary is not very impressive, but this chapter is. At the beginning of this chapter, a soldier working on a refugee camp crashes after watching some disturbing images of himself.
This would seem like a suicide of a paranoid soldier, or drug addiction, or something similar. But a voodoo-related symbol marked in the tree the soldier crashed on leads to thing into something else.
The refugee camp is being commanded by some international rights law-breaking militar, and the Haitians there are taking it's revenge.
Finally, Mulder and Scully are having to bypass some serious hazardous situations, including the fact that they'll have to fight agains the same symbol found in the tree.
