Review of Jacob's Ladder (1990) by Doctor S — 22 Dec 2009

Wow, haven't seen a movie this freaky in awhile. Insanity vs reality, angels vs demons, past vs present, never letting you get comfortable with your surroundings and always ready to pull out the rug from underneath.

I enjoyed that discombobulation and squirmed at the grisly images, this movie undeniably made me uneasy. However I cannot but feel disappointed with the conclusion since after careful reflection it's apparent that most of the movie could not have possibly happened yet, even in his head.

I don't mind being manipulated if the rules are consistent, but Jacob's Ladder is playing 3-card monte with us - the lady isn't there to be found.
