IN "STIGMATA," hairdresser Frankie Paige is not only suffering otherworldly visions. She's having a heck of a time with exit wounds.

Frankie (Patricia Arquette), a sweet-natured soul who does not believe in God, has begun experiencing sacred manifestations of the stigmata -- the five wounds suffered by Jesus Christ during the crucifixion.

These injuries occur without apparent physical cause. One moment she's in the bath, the next, she's got bloody holes in her wrists.
