5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best X File I've seen, June 1, 2000

By	Jo Berry (Countesthorpe, UK) - See all my reviews

A series of murders in the Baltimore area have the FBI baffled. Most of the victims were found with their doors and windows locked from the inside - and their livers removed with bare hands. When Mulder and Scully look back through old case files, they discover the pattern of the murders stretching back for almost a century, with thirty year gaps in between. Soon they have a suspect ... but it can't be. Eugene Victor Tooms isn't a hundred years old. Besides, he couldn't have got through that tiny air vent.

Or could he?

Just as Psycho made an ordinary shower a scene of horror, this made people think twice about walking past that air duct. This is a seriously scary X File without there being any gore - to speak of, anyway - relying on nail biting suspense and the sheer concept. Maybe you should think twice about the burglar alarm - and settle for grilles on your windows instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars These episodes were awsome!, February 3, 2000

By	[e-mail] (USA) - See all my reviews

Tooms was such a cool episode. Any X files fan would love this, it is really suspenseful. Scully (my fave) and Muler's relationship grows stronger in this episode. As for Squeeze, that episode was just plain old cool! If you like the X Files, these are the episodes thatt you should get!

5.0 out of 5 stars The highlight of the "non-mythologic" episodes from season 1, February 5, 1999

By A Customer

Doug Hutchins scares the pans of you in this season 1 two-parter playing the genetic mutant and infamous Eugene Victor Tooms. The 100 year old age abiding "man" bears the talent to elongate his body and squeeze through small entrances and kill victims to extract they liver to provide sustanace to hibernate for 30 years. A true look at Mulder and Scully. Particulary at Scully putting her against Henry Beckman's character. Who is a friend of agent Scully but loathes Mulder. A definate must for any body looking for a really good thriller. Plus special collector's cards and a introduction by Chris Carter.
