Patricia Arquette receives one of the stigmata wounds on a subway
train in the supernatural thriller Stigmata.
Stigmata
Directed by Rupert
Wainwright
Starring Patricia Arquette
and Gabriel Byrne
Is nothing sacred anymore?
The Catholic Church is hit hard
and put under the interrogation
lamp in this latest shocker.
As the nation’s No. 1 movie,
some are asking what is the deal
with America’s need for supernat
ural gore and horror. Maybe it is
new—no, remember The Exorcist?
Maybe it’s Patricia, no she’s lost
her spunk. Maybe people just like
to see blood and guts. Unfortu
nately, the film’s gore serves as
the only source of entertainment
value.
Frankie Paig? (Arquette), a
self-proclaimed atheist, seems to
be suffering from what the church
calls stigmata, the five wounds of
Christ. When word of these
strange occurrences hit the Vati
can, Father Andrew Kiernan
(Byrne) is sent to Philadelphia to
investigate.

The movie seems to buttle itself
for a main plot line - Is the church
covering up hidden truth or is a
woman dying from stigmata?
Byrne turns in the traditional
portrayal of a kind priest with
good intentions.
Arquette’s role could have
been taken on by any sweet-faced
young actress in Hollywood.
As a man whose only directing
credits include music videos, Ru
pert Wainwright needs some ad
vice on the overuse of cinematic
elements. Too much rain and re
versed water droplets not only set
a mood for this film, they
drowned it in the flood. And cas
cades of burning candles left the
audience asking, "who had the
time to light these?”
Definite kudos to the special
effects coordinators and make-up
artists for rivers of blood, but
what is scary is the fact that audi
ences sat through this film and
brought it $18.3 in weekend
grosses. (Grade: D + )
