The X-Files: Ice (1993)

10/10
And then there were none meets The Thing.

Mulder and Scully are sent to the Arctic along with a few specialists to explain why a team of Geophysicists killed one another.

This is up there with Tooms as contender for series one's best episode. This is pure horror, as my title indicates it is very much an homage to The Thing, plus it has that vibe Agatha Christie created, where one by one the numbers dwindle, and nobody knows who's next, or who's guilty.

This still has the scare factor, watch as paranoia mounts up, and everyone begins to suspect one another.

The unease between Mulder and Scully is brilliant, they are still developing as partners, but here the relative lack of knowledge about one another plays a part.

A great cast featuring Felicity Huffman, they are all on top form.

Superb, 10/10
