  • I came here because of 3-Chinuclidinylbenzilat.

  • whoever made this kinda transcends time .. the movie that is, not the video.

  • This is one of the creepiest films of all time..they don't make scary flicks like these any more

  • People used to make movies - good movies

  • I can't believe I just wasted 2 hours watching this shit movie

  • @hardcore4d4 I understand if you hated it. It is kindoff slow and dreamlike in its state. However, thats the thing I love about this movie. Funny how different people can be! Anyhow, you wouldnt like Blade Runner iether if that is the case....

  • @RobinsTaste no Blade Runners OK could have been better

  • @hardcore4d4

    What's funny is you wasted your time watching this 'shit" movie AND making this comment. What exactly is a good movie then?

  • @candycommander sorry did I hurt your feelings

  • @KEffect09 i know they did it because it was the rev's favorite movie \m/

  • is this movie any good?

  • Jesus-Tapdancing-Goddamn-Titty­-Fucking-Christ on a graham cracker..enough already with the Avenged Sevenfold/Assassin's Creed bullshit. This movie is "sevenfold" better than both of those things combined.

  • @bigstabby

    Thanks for the Reality check so needed here.

  • @bigstabby wow you got mad cussin skillz.

  • @joshbottube Fuck yeah!! I was just sick out my ass seeing all that Avenged Sevenfold/Assassin's Creed blah blah blah. Nobody gives a fuck about them shits.....fuck.lol

  • @KEffect09 That video fucking sucks.

  • Anyone else come here becuase of Silent Hill

  • @NowhereBeats I came here cuz of A7X :3

  • stop mentioning fucking avenged sevenfold i wanna watchi this shit to get away from metal bullshit, no more

  • @MrEpicWn

    Oh that explains it, your from the USA!

    Herpaderp Central!

  • @MrEpcWn Are you from another country? Is that why you think you're making sense? Christ you're so stupid. Like what you're saying isn't making me mad, it's HOW you're saying it. How can you be this dumb and still manage to operate a computer? Does somebody have to follow you around and remind you to breath? HOW DO YOU FUNCTION WITH SUCH A HIGH LEVEL OF BRAIN DAMAGE!?

  • @MrEpcWn You're literaly too stupid to insult. A word has not yet been invented to describe how brain dead you are.

  • @MrEpcWn *You're. That's not a tip, my name is right under my post, and you should probably blow your brains out for coming up with that user name. Keep going though bud, you're only 0 for 4

  • inspriation for silent hill ftw

  • @musiccxlovee , NO

  • lol tim was a cutie back in the day ahah 

  • @mobilesuitzer0 we all of opinions but please respect the fallen

  • Avenged Sevenfold sucks. This movie is good because it's good, not because some dead dumbass liked it.

  • @mobilesuitZer0 k first off so what you could just let it go the best drummer in the world liked this movie so how about you just lay off.

  • @mobilesuitZer0

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I respect that. But you could at least have respect for the dead

  • Wow! the nightmare video is alot like Jacob's Ladder. R.I.P. Jimmy

  • only watched this cause it was the rev's favorite movie :)

  • Ummm Sounds like a awesome movie?

  • @silantbill sorry but no they dont suck

  • How many of did like I did. Seen avenged sevenfolds nightmare video and came and found this.

  • OMFG now everything makes sense abt Nightmare! RIP Jimmy

  • Seems gud movie..

  • 13 people fell off Jacob's ladder.

  • @TheNewFlare no 13 people did'nt like the movie, you fail good sir.

  • @tektoniktek And your mom suck dicks! But that's just you, I'm afraid. Don't take it personally.

  • @TheNewFlare yea she does... my dads, but whos dick does ur mom suck ;)

  • @tektoniktek Popsicles. Cherry flavored.

    Have a good time licking up the residue left by your mom.

  • @TheNewFlare i stand by my "u fail good sir"

  • @tektoniktek Haha, sure, after you admitted your mom is a whore to me.

  • @TheNewFlare my moms a whore for having sex with my dad? ur retarded thts probably cuz of the crack your mom smoked when she was pregnant with you, you damn crack baby

  • @tektoniktek Whoa, cool down there, Chuckles! What would your whore of a mom tell your seven dads if she learned about your filthy language, mhm?

  • @TheNewFlare same thing your mom would tell your pussy ass dad when he comes home and theres dikes taking a dump on her chest

  • @tektoniktek

    What took you so long? Helping your mama out with 'housework'... if you get what I mean? ;)

  • @TheNewFlare no im out having a life not lurking on youtube 24/7

  • @tektoniktek It's called an Inbox that sends you comment alerts, lamebrain. I check it only once a day or two, which is really only equivalent to 1/7 or 2/7 really, not 24/7. Or am I getting my math wrong? I don't know. I was never good with math.

  • @TheNewFlare okiiiii there

  • @tektoniktek Oh c'mon! That's it? You know, I do wish that YouTubers these days would have the sense to do a proper job in keeping the YouTube Pointless Flame War spirit alive. What's the point of having YouTube anymore if annoying buggers like you are just going to tootle away from every humiliating insult that makes you mildly miserable?

    Okay, maybe more than mildly - but hey, that's what being a man is all about.

  • @TheNewFlare omg yes im so miserable some guy on utube i dont evenno explained to me what a inbox is.... ur so cool one day i wish il be as cool as you are

  • @tektoniktek Now that's more like it. You're getting there, but you just need to work on the spelling and punctuation a little bit, or you'll just sound like you're butthurt.

  • @TheNewFlare bro ssttttttttttfffffffffffuuuuuu

  • @tektoniktek Nevvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeerrrrr! LOL!

  • @TheNewFlare lol

  • fuck avenged sevenfold watch the movie

  • @clicheskate09 Well said mate.

  • @clicheskate09 FUCK YOU.

  • this movie was fucking intense, and a great twist

  • I hard about this movie from the guys of avenged sevenfold soo I wanna see it

  • I came here cuz this was The Rev's favorite movie and its what Avenged Sevenfold used to make their Nightmare music video (thats what they said in an interview) :D

  • oh my god, i really need to see this movie

  • guys the thing you have to understand is that this movie isnt a horror movie. its a psychological thriller. i agree some scenes in this movie are quite disturbing but this movie is more sad than disturbing. This is real life, people have gone through this during the Vietnam War. Troopers were put on this drug and the quite sad thing is that everything you thought you had was just an illusion

  • Half the clips in this trailer were cut from the movie.

  • this movie is insane

  • Avenged 7fold is shite this movie is not shite

  • @MelbaToast454 And you spelled "SHIT" wrong.

  • damn scary movie

  • great creepy movie.. someone needs to load this whole movie

  • is this movie worth watching?

  • @JacobyloverPR lol i just commented about that too! and M.Shadows said they did their nightmare music vid from this movie. They did all the asylum scenes like that dude walkin on the cage like johnny christ did

  • Jacobs Ladder was the best fucking psychological thriller ever made. Period.

  • this is based loosely on the LSD experientment that the US government did to some of its own soldiers. They gave them drugs like PCP and LSD without their conscent. MKULTRA...... This movie was out way before Silent Hill.

  • @KazuoKiriyama666 Good list - thanks!

  • @jordantewari Silent Hill is a horror film with a similar feel to it but the mythology Jacob's Ladder develops is much more coherent.

  • Jacobs Ladder is completely different than Silent Hill and if you watched the two back-to-back, I'm sure u'd come to the conclusion that SH is complete crap. U'd be right, too.

  • @knivesxout Definitely a religious movie. Some think the ending and the alternate ending could be Western and Eastern religious interpretations of how to cope with the expulsion from the Garden of Eden (symbolized by Gabe - the angelic guard of the paradise that was lost...)/ fall from grace respectively. Not too surprisingly, the screenwriter, Bruce Joel Coen, is Jewish but also practices Buddhism.

  • Best psych-horror movie of all time. Only Silent Hill and Philip Ridley's Heartless have recaptured some of the feel of this movie. Other recommendations would be much appreciated!

  • the revs fave movie...R.I.P

  • It's your fuckin nightmare :)

  • A 7 FOLD...cool band...discovered them from this site. drummer WAS tits. sad...

  • i only watched this cuss it was teh revs favorite movie... ://

  • The Reeev

  • "Jacob's Ladder" remains an underrated masterpiece of the suspense/horror genre. A brilliant, unnerving, surreal and touching story...along with superb direction, cinematography and acting. subsequent great films such as "the 6th Sense" obviously took influence from Jacob's Ladder.

  • @silantbill

    FUCK YOOOOOUUUU! ! !

  • @theangerfist Oh you're so right. You're well thought out comment totaly made me change my mind. I now see the error of my ways. Thank you angerfist. Thank you for being so articulant in your rebuttal.

  • This film is actually based on elements of truth. They gave soliders PCP as an experiment and the results was a complete blood bath. They turned on each other. Its a violent trip and the results just aren't worth it.

  • What a shame, Jacob is losing his mind.

  • I came across this movie just now, because of being a fan of Silent Hill. The producers of the game said that they acknowledge this movie for its fear production in a more psychological way and also that they were inspired to make the games because of this movie. Of course that after reading such article I coudn´t keep on without watching this movie first :D

  • We love watching it.

  • @reymijay

    "Figure it out?" What do you mean? I'm kind of worried I missed something now, haha.

  • Comment removed

  • well...it looks old soo i wont expect too much,but i dont think i will like this

  • Okay,my first impression:

    I've just watched this movie and it was...breathtaking.It's like nothing I've ever seen before.Such a mind-blowing storyline and brilliant acting!This is the kind of film leaves you up all night thinking...Psychotic,terrifyin­g and heartbreakingly beautiful at the same time.Films like this actually had a fucking SOUL.Nowadays it's just about the looks.:/

  • @GuyUnderBlackRainbow I know I remember this I was young, but I can relate to this film on many levels seeing things not there but were.

  • Jacob's Ladder is my favorite movie.

  • observe complete edition with this kind of film here at avatz..net change .. to .

  • i am about to get on ebay and buy this. first time ive ever heard of it. looks crazy

  • This is by far one of the most frightening films ever made! The first 20 minutes alone are completely nerve-wracking.  For me the finest horror films are psychological, making you believe there is something more gruesome and terrifying present than is already there and this really achieves that. It is too bad that it did not become the commercial hit it deserved to be. Hopefully, more people get a chance to watch it.

  • This movie is a real mind-bender.....

    Top notch thriller!

  • wata stupid movie :/ thought it would be better then this crap

  • @funshun1

    FAGOT! lol

  • @funshun1

    Yes, this movie is just too damn SCARY

    for you little boy.....best to go and watch

    your kitty-friendly Saw movies. LOL! lol

  • Also one of the most classic tunes of all time has vocals from this film in it. Check out a tune called lemonade raygun on stompin tunes records and see if you can spot the sample from jacobs ladder

  • i have heard that this movie was the inspiration for the silent hill games, so to me its a no-brainer, i have to see it :)

  • @haveahorst i love them, i am currently playing the old classic ones. even though i have a ps3 im playing the very first silent hill for ps1 on my ps3 :P and they have this movie uploaded on youtube apparently. its a video response to this one, im going to start watching it now

  • Sooo what happens in the end? haha

  • I LOVE THIS MOVIE...mind freak its great :)

  • there's a book too, right?

  • spoiler trailer :(

  • THE most under-rated movie ever made.... this is head and shoulders above the drivel that the US usually pumps out ...

    it can be done....Hollywood still takes a proverbial dump on the intelligence of its consumers (the expendables, surrogates etc etc) but every once in a while it delivers a gem like this.

    very unsettling

  • Fine, Team Jacob it is.

  • Silent Hill for the win! ^__^

  • epic when I first saw it back in 96 and epic still till this day.

  • Brilliant movie.

    It really threw me for a loop at first, and yet it all made sense at the end.

  • A7X's nightmare wuz based on this

  • @muzicfreak423 Indeed it was. :D That is a fricking amazing music video. <3

  • @RufusLynx101 it not sucking doesnt make it not a horror movie. :P

  • based loosely on a true story....there were vietnam vet that were tested with drugs by the US gov unvoluntarily.

  • Jacob's DMT Ladder.

  • kind of sucks since I already know the ending, saw a video with various movie spoilers. this essentially ends the same way as American Psycho, just different plot.

  • @Decigator No, it does not end at all like American Psycho. The final scene of American Psycho and the final scene of Jacob's Ladder amount to something entirely different. American Psycho is a great movie, but not nearly the same ending.

  • So is it me or does the synopsis for this movie on rottentomatoes give away the twist? I wanted to watch this flick but after reading that one sentence it seems like the plot is completely spoiled for me.

  • this movie looks cool

    I'll watch it

  • dont spoil shit you shitheads, type "Spoiler" above your comments if your comment spoils something, goddamn

  • SiLenT HiLL 2

  • The Rev's favorite!

  • @piehole0 i was searchin the namo of the movie I finaly reach it OMFDBG!! Jimmy´s rulz!!

  • fuck i miss the 1980s movie announcer guy,

    he had the coolest voice of all time

  • @PatrioticFront Don Lafontaine! yeah his voice was incredible!

  • @PatrioticFront You and 26 other people are wrong. This movie wasnt from the 80s

  • @ethan1336 You right 90 Peepz. Funny as hell

  • @PatrioticFront its the 90's by the way but yes

  • @PatrioticFront don lafontaine

  • The ladder is a lie

  • @brandoon111 how would you know?

  • Comment removed

  • A7x Kicks ass, nuff said

  • Great film, quite underrated. For fans who have made the jump to Blu-ray, this film (along with David Fincher's "Seven") will be released on Blu-ray on September 14, 2010.

  • @K5Jon Thats the day uproar hits denver!

  • @piehole0: Yeah the 14th sees two really good films out on Blu-ray, and this remainder of the year will see some great titles too.

  • D: AWW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END?!?!?

  • @RiverClanRocks He turns out to be lukes father

  • @RiverClanRocks

    Watch the movie or send me a personal message. I don't want to spoil it for the rest of the people on here. They'll get angry. Lol.

  • @CarbzDaNickel9 and silent hill is awesome ;D

  • I wouldn't say this is a horror film. It's more then that. It's about finding peace with yourself, and keeping a positive mind. When I first watched this movie, I was absorbed into it. I loved every moment of it. I felt every moment of it. The emotions are so real, they're so true...

  • Some scenes arent in the version Ive watched, like the chemist saying he can block the ladder

  • @Truechuser deleted scenes, sadly. Apparently the audience they premiered it to said that the movie as a whole was too "extreme" or something to that effect, so he ended up removing alot.

  • this movie looks awesome

    i can see why The Rev loved it so much

    f o R E V e r

  • hey wat is that at 0:59??

  • @TheXyster96

    it's the tail of some homeless person. quite creepy! :)

  • wonder if m night digs this flikk. ill bet he took a couple of cues for sixth sense. also,see tony sopranos dream about his buddy pussy admitting he is working with feds; then finds out its true after dream. (see my award winning review of this movie below).

  • even the film critics didnt get it. no major publication of film reviews ive ever seen ever mentions the fact that he was dreaming it all. HE DIED IN NAM. he never came home. the demonic visions,etc., were a culmination of reaching the truth about what happened that day in nam.genius the way chemist enters his dream to explain it all.how do you write a screenplay for this storyline?! brilliant and underated.

  • @1skullduggery What I love about this movie is that it is such a kalidescope of memories and emotions that you can almost come up with a different interpretation of it every time you watch it - whether it be literal, psychological, mythological, religious, etc.

  • he died in nam. all the phantasmagoria is going on in his head before he actually dies. he needs to come to grips with why his platoon bud knifes him. he meets the chemist who sets him free by explaining ladder. he can now die at peace. (if youre afraid of dieing,etc, quote from louie). he can now ascend to heaven with his already dead son. the crux of the story though, is all taking place in his mind. great concept! how do you come up with a storyline like this? underated and misunderstood film

  • "According to this, you're already dead" Wow that was a bit scary lol but i love lines like that

  • I don't think they were demons in a biblical or religious way. Due to the tails they have, I would say inter-dimensional reptilian beings not being able to be seen in this range of frequency.

  • it wasn't until I read commentary from the makers that I finally got this film. I;ll need to watch it again to remember though

  • @JimmySullivanRIP Nice!!! Lol.

  • scariest part was at the end where you see all the mental patients and they're like clawing at the chain link cells they're in.

  • Does Jess get fucked while dancin with some other guy or is that another girl
