If you are a horror fan much like myself then today’s news is going to bring a smile to your face as Capelight Pictures & Altitude Film Distribution have announced that the captivating 90s supernatural horror, Stigmata, will be released in the UK on a special 2-Disc Limited Collector’s Edition Blu-ray & DVD from 11th December.
Directed by Rupert Wainwright, the 1999 occult thriller features an outstanding cast of Oscar® winner Patricia Arquette, Golden Globe winner Gabriel Byrne and Oscar® Nominee Jonathan Pryce with a tremendously dark score from The Smashing Pumpkins frontman, Billy Corgan.
A lost soul has just received the wounds of Christ… and a shocking message that will alter history.
Frankie Paige (Arquette) has absolutely no faith in God. All of that changes when she suddenly begins to suffer the Stigmata – the living wounds of the crucified Christ. Frankie’s miraculous bleeding comes to the attention of the Vatican’s top investigator, Father Kiernan (Byrne). But when Cardinal Houseman (Pryce), discovers that Frankie is actually channelling an extraordinary and provocative message that could destroy the Church, he’s convinced that she – and the force possessing her – must be forever silenced.
Determined to stop this deadly conspiracy, Kiernan risks his faith – and his life – to save her and the message that will change the destiny of mankind forever.
Stigmata will be released exclusively as a 2-disc Limited Collector’s Edition MediaBook, with the main film on Blu-ray and DVD as well as extensive bonus material.
