adonis98-743-186503 When a young woman becomes afflicted by stigmata, a priest is sent to investigate her case, which may have severe ramifications for his faith and for the Catholic Church itself. Stigmata is a 1999 Horror film starring Gabriel Byrne, Jonathan Pryce and Patricia Arquette, this movie was totally creepy as hell there's some scenes with Patricia (who gives an amazing perfomance in this film just like Byrne) that are totally disturbing especially when someone else is talking for her. The special effects are magnificent some scenes like the Alley and the Train are really good especially for their time. If you loved 'End of Days' (1999) also starring Byrne you're going to love 'Stigmata' as well. (A+)

shisekushi This movie is somewhat garbage and too simple, the subject matter of the movie, Christianity, has nothing to do with how ridiculous the movie is. There are scenes in the movie that is so "out-of-the-blue" with no apparent reason whatsoever for it to happen in the first place, making it cringe-worthy to watch. Is this horror? Meh.

SnoopyStyle Father Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne) is in southern Brazil to investigate a bleeding Madonna statue. He wants to do more investigating but his superior rejects him. In America, Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) is a single alternative hairdresser attacked by an invisible force giving her the signs of stigmata. She gets attacked again on the subway which comes to the attention of Kiernan.I love the brooding rain-soaked Gothic atmosphere at first but the movie goes nowhere. It's not scary for one minute. It's a lot of religious hogwash. It starts off with interesting tension but slowly fades away. Her attacks are slow-motion, pounding and repetitive. After the third time, I lose interest and it slowly grinds to a halt. It becomes another possession horror without anything new or interesting.

Python Hyena Stigmata (1999): Dir: Rupert Wainwright / Cast: Patricia Arquette, Gabriel Byrne, Jonathon Pryce, Nia Long, Rade Serbedzija: Stigmata means wounds of Christ inflicted upon certain Saints. I am not sure how possible this is although Christ's wounds represent the salvation of mankind. It is completely unnerving and jam packed with as much explicit gore that a film can present. Patricia Arquette plays a hairdresser inflicted with the wounds of Christ. She claims to be an atheist. Gabriel Byrne plays a Priest investigating the situation and he discovers strange writings, a statue that cries blood, and the ever popular demonic possession. The statue crying blood is easily explainable because anyone or anything involved in a film this lame ought to shed tears. We know exactly what is in store for Arquette and it isn't stomach cramps. Predictable and lame with stylish directing by Rupert Wainwright backed with a massive production. Arquette needs a Ghostbuster or a really good psychiatrist. It also wouldn't hurt if she had a better agent because this sort of crap isn't helping her career. Byrne needs to stand in line at the job center because the Priest thing isn't working out. Supporting roles by Jonathan Pryce and Nia Long are flat and hardly matter at any rate. Hardly logical since according to scripture Christ paid for the sins of mankind. It is a film drenched in blood and guts. Score: 2 / 10
