View All Critic Reviews Sep 17, One of the most beautiful films ever put to print. Jacob's Ladder is American surrealism in motion, but the aesthetic is not quite supported by its story.

There is so much potential here for a true masterpiece, but what we're given, though wholly entertaining, comes just shy of striking distance. The cast is very consistent as is the direction, but the plot offers so much unfulfilled brilliance that what we're left comes out as slightly underwhelming.

Paris S Super Reviewer. Feb 23, A great take on the Psychological Horror genre, Jacob's Ladder does almost everything right asides from a mild confusing second act and an unnecessary preachy drug twist at the end.

Has great visual madness to spook you, touching moments, great presence by Tim Robbins and an interesting story that grabs your attention right from the start. Francisco G Super Reviewer. Oct 29, One word: mindfuck.

This movie is fantastic, though disturbing at times. There are very few movies that made need to know what happens next. I was hooked less than 10 minutes in. I couldn't stop watching. Stephen S Super Reviewer. Jake has fond memories of his son, Eli, who died before Jake went to war. Suddenly, Jake begins having weird flashes that take him back to his last battlefield experience. Vivid hallucinations follow, in which in one instant he is in bed fornicating with Jezebel, in the next moment he has been reunited with his wife and family.

By far the most frightening hallucinations are what he believes are demons who seem to pursue him. Then, Jake is contacted by a terrified army buddy who reports that he, too, is being chased by demons, which causes him to believe that he is going to hell. Karla Souza. Reviews Jaocb's Ladder.
