Stigmata.
=
A film that I only watched on the off chance and boy was it a cracker.
We follow two main characters who eventually meet and that's when the story really takes off.
Father Keirnan is a Vatican investigator who is dispatched around the world debunking supposed miracles.
And then there is Frankie, a part time waitress and general nobody.
When Frankie starts to exhibit The Stigmata she comes to the attention of Father Keirnan and soon he is drawn into a true and shocking miracle. The hallucination and terrors that begin to materialise are both graphic and scary.
The movie builds and builds to a surprising ending, in fact two endings if you want to see the alternate ending. The other ending is a bit sad.
The acting performance from Gabriel Byrne, Frankie Paige and Jonathan Price where excellent. In fact ...

This horror triple feature presents STIGMATA, HELLRAISER, and CHILDREN OF THE CORN in one specially priced box set. See individual titles for more details.<BR>STIGMATA: When a young American woman (Patricia Arquette) begins exhibiting the characteristics of stigmata (spontaneously bleeding from the wrists and forehead, speaking in Aramaic), a Vatican envoy (Gabriel Byrne) is deployed to investigate whether the afflictions are demonic or divine. The dark, quick-cut cinematography of Jeffrey L. Kimball (JACOB'S LADDER) and a gothic soundscape assembled by Billy Corgan place the devil (of this film) in the details.<BR>HELLRAISER: Clive Barker's feature directing debut graphically depicts the tale of a man and wife who move into an old house and discover a hideous creature--the man's half-brother, who is also the woman's former lover--hiding upstairs. Having lost his earthly body to a trio of S&M demons called the Cenobites, he is brought back into existence by a drop of blood on the floor. He soon forces his former mistress to bring him human sacrifices to complete his body... but the Cenobites won't be happy about this. The film is one of the best horror offerings of the 1980s, based on Barker's novel THE HELLBOUND HEART.<BR>CHILDREN OF THE CORN: Young lovers on a cross-country trip stop in a small Nebraska community and make a shocking discovery. One day, three years prior to the couples' arrival, the town's children killed all the grown-ups at the apparent behest of a demon simply dubbed He Who Walks Behind the Rows. Based on a short story from horror scribe Stephen King's Night Shift collection, this film spawned a slew of bloody sequels.
