IMDb 6.2 Metacritic 28 RT 22%

Skip it. 'Stigmata' is a visually stylish but narratively messy supernatural thriller that mistakes shock value for substance—Gabriel Byrne and Patricia Arquette deserve better material, and you deserve a horror film with actual scares instead of just pretentious religious imagery and dated late-90s aesthetics.

Plot

A young woman with no strong religious beliefs, Frankie Paige begins having strange and violent experiences, showing signs of the wounds that Jesus received when crucified. When the Vatican gets word of Frankie's situation, a high-ranking cardinal requests that the Rev. Andrew Kiernan investigate her case. Soon Kiernan realizes that very sinister forces are at work, and tries to rescue Frankie from the entity that is plaguing her.
