Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) is in her twenties. She works as a hairdresser. She has a boyfriend. There are a hundred other girls like Frankie Paige within a mile radius of her apartment.
But unlike all of them, things happen to Frankie -- terrible things she can’t understand or explain. And though she has tried everything to make them stop, they’re just getting worse. She goes to doctors and psychologists, but even they can’t answer the most important question: why her?
At the darkest moment of one of her episodes, a chance encounter with a local priest is caught on tape and the frightening implications of the incident drive the Vatican to send their own investigator, Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne). Confronted with the powerful force that has taken control of Frankie, Kiernan immediately recognizes the true danger she is in and he must search his own soul for the strength to save her life, even if it goes against everything he believes.

Reviews for Stigmata
The latest Exorcist rip-off Stigmata opens with a scene of a Virgin Mary statue that bleeds from the eyes. During Over the course of its 102 minutes, the painful-to-watch movie lets you know just how that statue feels.
Worth a look, even if you walk away a bit offended by the viscera and blasphemy it depicts.
the picture had it's moments, I had my share of chills and as I said ... good point.
Pone el dedo en la llaga al cuestionar a los líderes religiosos católicos
A film this dramatically inept doesn't test your faith in the Papacy nearly as much as it troubles your faith in movies.
Even after watching Stigmata, I'll be damned, so to speak, if I can explain it!
A supernatural thriller about a Vatican conspiracy to suppress an Aramaic text that could shake the foundations of the church.
