Review of Jacob's Ladder (1990) by Dave J — 08 Feb 2015
A descent into the pit of fear has Jacob losing his mind.
The film is full of surreal images and scary stuff.
Our reality begins to get questioned as well going from one thing to the next.
Once it's revealed what's causing this madness it's simple enough although it doesn't raise the bar for the film entirely.
Still, Tim Robbins wonderfully plays a Vietnam vet on the verge of insanity and trying to find out what it is.
Once more war does terrible things to people and some things we don't even remember what scares us the most.
All kinds of demons emerge from what we've suffered and what we've lost.
