28 Days Later... (2002)
8/10
Pretty good zombie film taking place in England. Captures the action, suspense and essential characters well. The actor Cillian Murphy always reminds me of Eric Roberts. He's played so many American roles, I didn't even know he's an Irish national.
The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
7/10
A psychic priest helps Mulder, Scully and FBI with a deadly missing persons case. Pretty good film. I enjoyed it. The ending wasn't perfectly clear to me, needed more exposition, but maybe I was looking for more than was there.
Not sure what the prior harsh reviews were for. Maybe just unmet expectations. It's a crime drama with supernatural, suspense and horror aspects, as opposed to sci-fi, sci-fi effects and humor. It does severely undeploy the natural comedic talents of the stars, but of course too much of that can wreck the serious horror tones.
