But he is unprepared for the spiritual can of worms he is opening. Not only is Frankie a genuine miracle, but her existence paradoxically undermines his faith and rattles cages back in Rome. —————————— by Rjbecca Thomas —————————— Showbiz 540 Music 560 TV/Radio 600 Film 99 550 Index 541 TV Choice 593 Review Film99 Showbiz FilmChartP542 CEEFAX 2 542 Fri 21 Jan 22:11/23 2/2 ——————————————————————————————————————— STIGMATA (18) US 102 mink Horror fans, humourless Catholics and those with no stomach for blood should avoid this film like the plague. Despite lashings of the red stuff filling every frame, this loud, bleak horror-wannabe won't raise a hair. The potentially interesting spiritual themes are suffocated under heavyweight religious imagery. Believers won't know whether to feel anger or pity, and sceptics will laugh into their popcorn.
