Review of Oubliette

The X-Files: Oubliette (1995)
Season 3, Episode 8
10/10
Impactful, Deep, Heavy Topic
19 October 2023
A concept is only one part of the story. In addition to the premise, there is the well-known tense action, but most powerful piece to me was the crucially important topic. We see on the news about kidnappings, rape, and murder, but this episode brings all three right in front of our faces in a very real way.

The supernatural element is weaved throughout to fit right into the X-Files, but even without the ethereal fiction, the tale stands strong on its own. A lot to consider, contemplate, and absorb about the evil nature present in predators. At the end, a plot twist tells us a lot about self-sacrifice and finding peace.
