#815) JACOB'S LADDER (1990)

[elarboldejoshua]

i was placed in a Psychiatric clinic for about two months...they gave me a lot of pills so i can pass all day sleeping & "resting from the outside world"" ..but guess what?? after a while the pills doesn't work anymore..and you start to see horrible things because you feel like you can't sleep but cannot be awake..i saw this movie 4 or 5 years after the Clinic discharged me. it makes me feel so sad and at same time it brings me back horrible pictures in my mind..

Read "An Occurance at Owl Creek" by Ambrose Bierce. This movie is based on the same theme as the book. Good movie...good book.

[VIDEOFREAK076]

This looks insane. Very nice job. What is up with the heads in the car and the guy in the club???

If you knew how much this movie scares me. I see it not as a movie about madness, about Vietnam or anything like that. I consider it as all the torments we go through life. By the way, Mackaulay Kulkin was so young then. Excelent video.

A great "Grinding" tune! ;- P

Well, you certainly didn't shy away from anything with this one! As has been stated, it is an odd movie ... Made at that point in Alan Parker's career when he was overly self-conscious in his imagery (i.e. "Angel Heart"), but the basic premise is really quite good, a decent into madness.

Odd choice of music that really works quite well; Nice solid pacing, pushes just right in all the right places. I liked the way you handled the end pieces that you used. 5 stars!!

[ZABRISKIEPOINTER]

thank you very much Rick!..I am glad I pushed you in the right place!!!

@billysscreeningroom

Interesting mistake you made here. I tend to see some similarities between "Angel Heart" and "Jacob's Ladder" myself, as both are marvellous supernatural "twist" thrillers of about the same era. Still, Jacob's Ladder is maybe the best and most uncommercial work of Adrian Lyne (famous for 9 1/2 weeks, Fatal Attraction and... Flashdance (!) ). It's not by fellow brit director Alan Parker, who did Angel Heart, Fame, birdy etc.
