Chris Carter’s Highly Anticipated R-Rated Director’s Cut Premieres
August 14 on Disney+
PHILIPPINES (AUGUST 13, 2026) — The official trailer and key art for Chris Carter’s highly anticipated director’s cut “The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn” was recently revealed. The film premieres August 14 on Disney+. 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 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.
