Critic Reviews

TNT RoughCut Matt Kelsey

Ranks with the best of the bunch, given its spooky storyline that fuses religion with down-to-earth characters.

Ken Fox

Filled with short, rapid-fire takes, edited to a pulsating beat and punctuated with blasts of noise...the style suits the often violent material, as well as Arquette's remarkable physical performance. Read full review

Curtis Morgan

A garish clashing of sacred images and bloody semihorror, this is a movie that defines the category: interesting failure.

Rod Dreher

What a bloody disappointment Stigmata is! Read full review

Mary Elizabeth Williams

A leaden exercise in what can go wrong when movies attempt to explore mysterious forces with dated special effects and easy symbolism...a soggy mess. Read full review

Barbara Shulgasser

Tom Lazarus and Rick Ramage should be ashamed to have written such nonsense. Read full review

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody, even if you are a fan of possession movies.… Expand

I honestly do not see how anybody can enjoy this. The story is ok, it could be really good, if it weren't for the disgusting and nauseating cinematography. Freakish looking people, ADD/ADHD style editing, it looks like a LSD trip clip made for MTV. I always wonder what the life of directorsI honestly do not see how anybody can enjoy this.

I always wonder what the life of directors looks like who make these films. They cannot possibly be normal and functioning people. Otherwise they would not be able to come up with this superweird crap.… Expand
