VHS Movie Reviews of Stigmata [VHS]
Movie Review: Addicting and profound
Summary: 5 Stars
As much as this movie is meant to be derogatory to the Catholic religion, it is also a compelling and thought-provoking work.
The soundtrack is just as electric as the subject itself.
It is an amazing story with a unique approach. Stunning with its message of faith that comes from the absence of faith in an unbeliever who is transformed so completely.
Movie Review: SPECTACULAR TRASH
Summary: 5 Stars
Pauline Kael once said: "Movies are so rarely great that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have very little reason to be interested in them".
How right u were and R girl... We have films like "Valley of the Dolls", "King Kong" 1976, "Song of Norway"... People love`m - despite "what-their-names-said" hehehe...
On a level this is great trash, it isn`t The Exorcist, but a LOT more fun... Patricia Arquette is just ace in this one. Gabriel Byrne? Just as fun - he looks like my friend - the actor Andrew Raymond Barnes - they ARE LOOK-ALIKES:-)))
On the whole it`s psychedelic, pretentious... but never... ever... boring....
It`s goodlooking and the production values are first-rate:-)
Movie Review: Pretty Good......
Summary: 3 Stars
Always seeking a good horror film, I bought this movie at a good price. Of course, it's 7 years old now! Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne deliver good performances in this thriller of a movie. Arquette plays Frankie, a woman of little faith who doesn't believe in God. Her life is forever changed when one day, she starts to show the signs of Stigmata.... the wounds of Christ after being crusified. A priest from the Vatacan ( Byrne ), learns of this and is summoned to investigate. As her wounds keep appearing, Father Kiernan becomes determined to save her at the risk of losing his faith and also his life. Good special effects in this movie. By NO MEANS can this movie be compared to The Exorcist but there are a couple of disturbing scenes in this movie adding to the suspense. Overall, a good movie that won't keep you bored. Worth renting!Movie Review: Good Drama
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fictional story about a woman who was given a rosary from a priest who is said to have miracles preformed in his name. After receiving the rosary from her mother, she starts to receive the stigmata- the wounds of Christ. Considering she is a non-believer, she doesn't have a clue to what is happening to her, until the Church sends a priest to investigate her and her story. The more stigmata's she receives, the closes she gets to Christ, the more the priest believes it is really happening and not just an act that she is trying to fool the church. The plot esclates from here, and involves the cardinal in the church who is trying to cover the whole thing up. There is a twist in the end that will leave you guessing right up to the end. The movie also offers two endings for you to see. The movie has good special effects, language, some graphics - for blood , and has some sexual content. Good movie, but NOT for kids or preteens!! Movie Review: A forgetable religious/possession flick.
Summary: 2 Stars
The characters were uninspired, the story was full of holes (why didn't Patricia's mother become possessed since she first obtained the rosary?), and the ending felt really rushed. Despite a few good, scary posession scenes, this is an overall boring film.
