The X-Files has plenty of scary episodes, but this one is more frightening than you'd think, considering there are no monsters or aliens involved.
The Big Picture It's been a number of years now since we've had any new episodes of The X-Files, but that doesn't mean the series isn't still thriving. With 11 seasons, two feature films, and plenty of tie-in media to go around, FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are still arguably the most beloved paranormal duo out there , frequently tackling the weird and unexplained.
It turns out, Milford Haven is the home of an ancient religion that goes back generations, a Satanic one that, at its core, involves human sacrifice. But the demon worshipers who secretly run the small New England town aren't those you'd suspect. When the episode starts, one could easily mistake the four occultists for your run-of-the-mill conservative religious types, except that's only a front, one that's quickly dissolved by the teaser's end.
The Devil Plays Mulder & Scully Like A Fiddle As people begin to die around them, Mulder and Scully are completely helpless. While our favorite agents usually save the day , they don't keep anyone from harm this time around. Rather, their actions are somewhat inconsequential, and though they help us, the audience, to make sense of what's going on, they don't serve any real purpose.
The Lack of True Answers Makes "Die Hand Die Verletzt" Haunting By the time "Die Hand Die Verletzt" concludes, we're left without any real answers. We don't know how this religion started or how it might continue, we don't know why the occultists allowed their faith to fall to the wayside, and we don't know why the demon picked now to show up. Furthermore, six people are dead and there is no clear perpetrator on which to place the blame.
"Home" Is Good, But It Doesn't Compare To This Classic Generally speaking, most X-Philes consider Season 4's "Home" — also penned by Morgan and Wong and directed by Manners — to be the scariest episode of The X-Files. Featuring the inbred Peacock family, the episode plays like an homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and is sure to frighten you.
