Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder

Dir: Adrian Lyne
Cast: Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Pena, Danny Aiello

Recently, I had been browsing a movie forum when I heard about good horror
movies to watch. One of them was called Jacob's Ladder. Directed by Adrian
Lyne, this 1987 psychological horror stars Tim Robbins as a Vietnam War vet.
He starts experiencing horrific nightmares and hallucinations as a result of being
in war. Is he really seeing those things or are they just due to his PTSD?

The faceless beings coming after him and the head twitching heads I 
found very disturbing to watch. This film switches between the modern day
and flashbacks of his time in Vietnam, bleeding to death. This was a very
unsettling movie to watch. If you're looking for a scary but underrated 
horror film, look no further.
 
Grade: B (8/10)
