| Stigmata Review |
| by Curtis Edmonds |
| The year was 1990, the movie was Miller's Crossing, and the man was
Gabriel Byrne. Byrne had the plum role of Tom Reagan, Irish gangster, a
smart guy in a tough town. Byrne spent the whole movie laconically
spitting out hard-bitten Coen Brothers...more |

| Stigmata Review |
| by Indra Moeljadi |
| This movie is based on a real thing, and with something that happens in
reality among very religious people. If you know all that, then this movie
is pretty scary, because it shows the Stigmata, and it also tells about the
missing document of the church. more |

| Stigmata was marketed as horror, when it's not. It's a religious thriller.
There is a difference. Whereas (good) horror startles and disturbs you, the
religious thriller unseats you, unsettles you. Doesn't make you leave the
light on. Think Omen,...more |

| While technically well-made, Stigmata never possesses a very logical

| It is a pleasure to see the horror genre back again with a keen interest in the
supernatural, eschewing any of the tired slasher routines since "Scream's"

thriller that also happens to be vehemently anti-Catholic. MGM will
