Not so Stigmata . While borrowing heavily from both the above-mentioned films, the story is neither scary nor suspenseful. To make matters worse, the supernatural agent at work is something of a muddle. The titular stigmata are the five wounds of Christ, alleged to appear miraculously on certain very faithful people. It just gets sillier from there.
Every character is a flaming stereotype.
To make it obvious to us that Frankie is a totally secular gal, it's not enough for her to say she's an atheist. And don't forget Jonathan Pryce's turn as the evil Cardinal Houseman. Naturally, he's not just a little evil, he's very evil. Boo, hiss at the man in the red suit. If you try to pay attention to logic in this film, you'll be giggling all the way to the end.
