Ecstatic Stigmatic

About This Movie

Ecstatic Stigmatic is this strange No-Wave horror piece, you know? Directed by Gordon Stevenson, who was part of the noise scene with Teenage Jesus & the Jerks. It’s got this gritty, lo-fi aesthetic that really captures the rawness of that era. Mirielle Cervenka's performance as Rose is intense – she's dealing with extreme stigmata in a way that's unsettling and thought-provoking. The pacing feels deliberately off-kilter, enhancing the film’s overall disquiet. The practical effects used to depict her stigmata are pretty visceral, adding to the film's haunting atmosphere. It’s really interesting how it plays with themes of suffering and identity, all wrapped in this gritty, underground vibe. Definitely not your typical horror flick.
