実際に世界各地で起きている“聖痕現象（スティグマ）”を、初めて映画化した超常スリラー。平凡な一女性・フランキーは、ある日突然両腕から原因不明の出血をする。すべてはここから始まった……。
"Stigmata," a 1999 film produced by FGM Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, delves into the mysterious and supernatural with a gripping narrative that intertwines faith, science, and the unknown. Directed by Rupert Wainwright, the movie follows the story of Frankie Paige, a young hairdresser from Pittsburgh who begins to exhibit stigmata—miraculous wounds that mirror those of the crucified Jesus Christ. As these phenomena escalate, a skeptical Vatican priest, Father Andrew Kiernan, is sent to investigate, leading to a thrilling journey that challenges his beliefs and uncovers a hidden gospel that could shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. The film's atmospheric tension is palpable, with cinematography that captures the eerie beauty of the supernatural occurrences. Patricia Arquette delivers a compelling performance as Frankie, embodying the confusion and pain of her character with raw intensity. Gabriel Byrne, as Father Kiernan, provides a strong counterpoint, his character's journey from skepticism to belief adding depth to the narrative. The chemistry between the two leads enhances the film's emotional stakes, making the audience invested in their quest for truth. "Stigmata" also stands out for its bold exploration of religious themes, daring to question established doctrines and the power structures within the Church. The screenplay, penned by Tom Lazarus and Rick Ramage, weaves together elements of horror, thriller, and drama to create a multifaceted story that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. The film's use of real-life theological debates, such as the authenticity of the Gospel of Thomas, adds a layer of authenticity that elevates it beyond typical genre fare. Ultimately, "Stigmata" is a film that challenges viewers to confront their own beliefs about faith and the supernatural. While it received mixed reviews upon release, its unique blend of suspense and spiritual inquiry has earned it a cult following over the years. For those intrigued by the intersection of religion and the unknown, "Stigmata" offers a thrilling and provocative cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
