Pros: special effects, music, some of the acting
Cons: thin story with plot holes
Summary: If I had read the book, I might have understood Stigmata, but I haven't read the book. In fact, nobody seems to have written the book. This film was made from an original story. I’m about to tear it to shreds, and yet I ... read more

Pros: Strong visuals. Gabriel Byrne is good as usual.
Cons: Didn't care for the death metal soundtrack. Extremely gory. Weak ending.
Summary: "Stigmata" is a thought provoking, if sometimes religiously confused, MTVesque journey through the possession/stigmata of Frankie Page (Patricia Arquette), a twentysomething atheist raver who suddenly exhibits stigmata (the wounds that Christ received on ... read more

Pros: Great movie, great characters.
Cons: Nothing for children.

Pros: Gabriel Byrne always gives a good performance
Cons: Too many loose ends. Church bashing.
Summary: My friends described Stigmata as a weakly horrific horror flick. I'm not much into horror, however weak. Thus, I skipped this movie when it was in the theater. Tonight, however, I somehow was talked into watching it. Tonight I was told it was a ... read more

Pros: Very Very Spooky , Full of Suspense and Fairly Unusual Too
Cons: Some might find it rather disturbing and controversial.
Summary: OK, OK.I must confess that I am no movie critic; in fact I never go to the cinema and hardly watch any movies at all save for what I watch on TV. But Stigmata was one film that I was in no position to resist. For one thing the trailer

Pros: It's beautiful, some acting, some good points, music
Cons: Sensitive religious topic and everything that comes with it [think Dogma]
Summary: Let me tell you about Frankie Page [Patricia Arquette]. She was born 23 years ago, grew up in Naples, Florida, moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She’s an accredited cosmetologist, “cuts hair”, does a lot of other funky stuff [piercing, tattoos]; is into ... read more

Pros: Beautiful, touching movie; Also, Gabriel Byrne.
Cons: There weren't any
Summary: Why did everyone hate this movie? In my humble, non-Catholic opinion, it was almost perfect. I won't give away too much, since I'd hate to ruin this gorgeous film for anyone.
Basically, Patricia Arquette plays young, hip Pittsburgh hair stylist ... read more

Pros: High standard of acting, great visuals.
Cons: A little slow.
Summary: There was an outcry about this movie. Why? This is a beautifully made film about love, faith and literally feeling another's pain. But it's not perfect, believe me. Pryce's character was poorly written as a generic "Bad Priest" bent on preserving his ... read more

Pros: Good Movie; Good Actors
Cons: Nothing Much
Summary: Stigmata is a horror/suspence movie. It starts in somewhere (that may be Mexico or a similar place) at a church. At a church, the reverend (or other religious leader) has died, and as soon as he has died, a statue of Mary has started to cry blood, and no ... read more

Pros: Good story idea, great acting, excellent effects.
Cons: none.
Summary: I don’t mind saying that I love horror movies. My favorites are the ones that a good plot and reasonable effects. I know that must sound like a contradiction in terms. A lot of horror films are of the no plot slash and hack variety, like the Nightmare on ... read more

Pros: Unique story, wonderful acting, great cinematography
Cons: None, if you don't mind it messing with the church
Summary: Stigmata is one of those unusual films in which you have to have an open mind when you see it. It messes with the Catholic religion and the hierarchy there that has been preserved so long. It will make some people mad. Especially since the girl ... read more

Pros: VERY entertaining, somewhat scary, a pay-attention kind of movie
Cons: I check my mail carefully from now on...
Summary: There was a certain controversy surrounding this movie when it first came out, and it seemed like the kind of movie that was right up my alley. I LOVED Demi Moore in "The Seventh Sign", so I thought (correctly) I would enjoy Stigmata.

Pros: If you like your films gory, you may not 100% hate this film.
Cons: It's turgid tripe and abysmally executed in every conceivable way.
Summary: If there's one thing guaranteed to irk an audience more than ‘ironic’ slasher movies, crap Japanese animation or Chevy Chase, it’s a horror movie that isn’t scary. So with that in mind, prepare yourself, because “Stigmata” will p*ss you off to the skin ... read more
