Jacob`s ladder scene that inspired Silent Hill

I am a really Silent Hill fan back since days of 1999. When i saw this scene of Jacob`s ladder movie, i couldnt keep myself from smiling, specially on the twitching monster/guy at the end.
That twitch inspired Valthiel and the Closer monsters from SH3, and a lot of other monsters along the series.
The decayed/abandoned hospital theme, with several body parts, its also a trademark in the series, and every Silent Hill fan will almost instantly remember of they favorite hospital part when they see this scene.
Even before any gore appear, it already feel like a Silent Hill hospital. Personally, it rememberred me of when u first got to an hospital, when there is no gore, but certainly something out of place.

To finish, ill paste some curious facts about the "twitch" at the end that i got straight from Wikipedia: """The film's director Adrian Lyne used a famous body horror technique in which an actor is recorded waving his head around at a low frame rate, resulting in horrific fast motion when played back. In an interview Lyne said he was inspired by the art of Francis Bacon when developing the effect. This effect is one of the signature animation techniques developed by The Brothers Quay and used extensively in their short films, including Street of Crocodiles (1986), based on the short novel of the same name by the Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz.
The horror video game franchise Silent Hill borrows this effect in the second, third and fourth sequel of the game, although it is not seen in the Silent Hill movie."""

PS: I know this scene is already on internet, i posted with tags to make it visible to silent hill fans.

This video is not my work.
Jacob`s Ladder is a 1990 film by Carolco Pictures and Tristar Pictures.
Silent Hill is a Konami trademark.

This scene is a work of art, and it scared the shit out of people in that time period. Silent Hill is one of my favorite horror game series ever, and I really enjoy it, that it holds so many creepy memories of this particular, spectacular movie. It truly got influenced by this horror masterpiece! Cheers! :)

The subway scene at the beggining is a big part of Silent Hill 3. You can find bits and pieces of this movie all over the game series.

Wow. This was very disturbing. I think I'll watch this movie the same way I'll probably watch THe Exorcist. In the day with another party with the lights on.

So if you think about it, Valtiel evolved from a helicopter's rotors.
