Jacob's Ladder

Jacobs inferno
Vietnamveteranen Jacob Singers liv håller på att spåra ur. Plötsliga visioner av demoner som försöker döda honom och vidriga mardrömmar driver honom mot vansinnet...
recall seeing this in the theater in 1990 and being kind of amazed. had forgotten everything by the time I rewatched it 34 years later. and, or course, it's very much of its time. too many painfully cringey 90's tropes....but it still had a charm and held my interest. I really wanted to find out what the meaning of it all was and sticking it out was rewarding in a way. Though out-dated, a couple performances are pretty strong (Tim Robbins and Danny Aiello). also interesting to note that this narrative formula was incredibly novel at the time, and has been copied to death since.
