Entertaining Supernatural Thriller - Stigmata review by GI
A vey entertaining supernatural mystery thriller with shades of The Exorcist (1973) and other similar religious possession type films. The inclusion of a cover up/conspiracy plot makes the film all the more watchable and the two stars Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne are both excellent. Byrne is Father Andrew, a catholic priest, who specialises in investigating alleged religious miracles and he's adept at debunking them. His Vatican based boss (Jonathan Pryce) sends him on an assignment to Pittsburgh where a young woman, Frankie (Arquette), a party girl hairdresser with no religious beliefs or history, has begun showing strange wounds that appear to be the wounds of Christ known as stigmata and having hallucinations. Andrew, sceptical and thorough, soon finds that he is having difficulty explaining what's causing Frankie's trauma and soon he begins to witness strange events around her. This is a very watchable and enjoyable piece of horror hokum that has a good story, some neat effects and doesn't try to overly shock or add too much gore.
