The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer's nightmare is that he isn't dreaming.
After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer struggles to maintain his sanity. Plagued by hallucinations and flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls apart as the world and people around him morph and twist into disturbing images. His girlfriend, Jezzie, and ex-wife, Sarah, try to help, but to little avail. Even Singer's chiropractor friend, Louis, fails to reach him as he descends into madness.

Great movie with dark atmosphere and sooo sad..I don't think it was so mindblowing but it wasn't a simple movie for sure..7.7/10
The film that inspired the Silent Hill-Game Producer Keiichiro Toyama is a weird movie. It's centered on Tim Robbins Character. I don't want to spoil anything about the Movie. It's not the best one either, but the ending is not bad. It was very suprising for me. 7/10
Really admire this movie. Pretty dark
Great mindfuck that totally achieves with its supossed try to make me feel absolutely **STUPID** 7/10
"Jacob's Ladder" is really disorienting. It continually flashes between Jacob's life with his wife and kids, his girlfriend, fighting in Vietnam and visions of Hell and/or purgatory. The demons in Jacob's visions are truly frightening and the sanitarium scene is gruesome and downright off-putting. There's also a very effective scene at a party where Jacob sees something demonic kill his girlfriend in grotesque fashion. Some of the details don't quite fit together well. The explanation for his hallucinations didn't really dovetail with the ending. The conclusion is satisfying, though. There's no doubt that this influenced the look of a lot of Horror movies that came after it. The visuals were really powerful. I've never been a Tim Robbins fan and he wasn't a great fit for the lead role. He seemed almost as miscast as Matthew Modine in "Full Metal Jacket". But Danny Aiello was great and it was fun to see Jason Alexander do drama.
