Reborn

About This Movie

Reborn (1981) is this wild mix of drama and fantasy that dives into the darker aspects of faith and exploitation. You’ve got this guy who realizes his girlfriend is a stigmata, and man, the tension really ramps up as he tries to protect her from this sleazy TV preacher. The atmosphere is pretty haunting, blending mundane life with this supernatural element. The pacing feels deliberately unsettling, and the practical effects, especially during the stigmata moments, are kind of striking for the time. Performances are solid, really capturing that desperation and fear. It’s distinctive because it doesn’t shy away from the moral quandaries of belief and greed, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
