Also, it really bugged me that Dr. Scully never wore a name tag when she was in the hospital.

All of this feels like a byproduct of a low-budget/low-effort film.

It wasn't just that they didn't have enough money for extras to play SWAT guys guarding the office, for example, it was that they didn't write/direct the scenes to cover that up that fact. Worse, the whole scene swings on shitty police procedure.
