A Must Have to ULTIMATE X Files Fan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I didn't know if I would like it when I first bought it, but as soon as I started reading I fell in love with it. I was great, it tells you all the details about the movie, how each scene was shot and the special effects. It also concentrates on every character, not just on Mulder and Scully. I think it is great. If you are a true X Files fan, you have to have it.
Excellent for what it was.

The book was good for what it was. It goes into great depth of how hard it is to make a movie. I thought the book got boring at times. I would recommend this book to the true x-files fan or just anyone who wants to see how a movie is made.
What a "making of" book should be!

An excellent story of the creation of the movie. Jody Duncan in the perfect author for this type of book. Ms Duncan is the editor of Cinefex, a brilliant journal on visual effects. As such she has extensive knowledge on the processes and trials of filmmaking. What this means is that this book is no "making of" publicity stunt, but rather a genuine and insightful story about the making of the X-Files feature film. It is made all the more enjoyable and accessible by Ms Duncan's excellent writing style. Highly recommended.
An Excellent behind the scenes book!
