STIGMATA is a US supernatural horror film in which a priest is tasked with investigating the case of a young atheist woman who has been afflicted with stigmata.

violence
An unseen supernatural force attacks a woman, causing bloody lacerations and puncture wounds to spontaneously appear on her body. These scenes are accompanied by harrowing stylised visions depicting large nails being hammered into wrists and feet, as well as a crown of thorns piercing into skin. Other moments of strong violence include a prolonged strangulation scene.
threat and horror
Occasional scenes of strong horror occur throughout, including ‘jump scares’. A character is possessed by a supernatural entity whereby they speak in a voice not their own and write in an ancient language. They also experience disturbing auditory and visual hallucinations, including hearing voices. Characters investigate the phenomenon of stigmata and discover a religious statue crying tears of blood.
suicide and self-harm
Visual and verbal references to self-harm occur, including a medic suggesting that a patient’s wounds are self-inflicted, as well as a character reading a book on the subject. During one scene, a character under the influence of supernatural possession repeatedly slashes her arms. In a brief scene, a character contemplates suicide but ultimately decides against it.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
During the opening credits, there is a scene of moderate sex which features thrusting detail and implied oral sex, however, this is very brief and impressionistic. Infrequent strong language occurs ('f**k'), as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'God', 'damn', 'hell' and 'Jesus'.
