A bold, spiritual masterpiece!
By JohnnyRoss (373 reviews) from Leeds , 19 Jan 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
The film can only be described in one word - masterpiece. It has been adapted from the true discovery of the Nag Hammadi scrolls in 1945, and has altered parts to suit the plot slightly, and locally, to emphasise and expose the conspiracy theories of the Vatican with regards to such phenomenon. At times, it tends to ridicule the Orthodox religion of Christianity, but this is done through the scrolls that have actually been discovered. The film delievers not only an entertaining and gripping story, but also allows faith in general to be viewed at a much more broader perspective. Performances by the entire cast are strong and lasting; the music could have been better to suit the story, though it works fine. Top marks to the entire unit for coming up with a daring and wholly exciting film!- Was this review helpful to you?

(30)Stigmata fascinating
By a customer , 02 Oct 2011Having been brought up a catholic (brainwashed) this film held a certain fascination at the way people are treated in that organisation, I enjoyed it immensely and watched it twice. The church does hold power over certain people that is not seen in every day life- Was this review helpful to you?

Very Boring
By VickiMihn (40 reviews) from Warrington , 23 Feb 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Very boring film, very very predictable and full of the usual religious horror cliches. Felt like I'd seen it all before. Not worth watching at all!- Was this review helpful to you?

Not bad
By Bozzies (12 reviews) from Leighton Buzzard, England , 13 Jan 2011This was not a bad film at all although somewhat predictable as to what would happen.
Worth a watch though.- Was this review helpful to you?

A load of codswollup!
By a customer from Worksop , 06 Sep 2009Please do not waste your money on this film. It is really bad - atrocious! It is not worthy of being compared to such classics as 'Carrie' or 'The Shining' as it is lame! Not scary, not believable, weak story, bad acting, in a word - PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

A unique story of religion and horror
By a customer from South West, England , 10 Nov 2008A very deep and powerful story with controversial content. Wonderful performances from Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne.
A story unlike any other, with music throughout that sets the mood of the tale.
Not a film for the easily distracted, but one I definitely recommend.- Was this review helpful to you?
