Review:
Don't watch any trailers or read anything about the plot; Jacob's Ladder is best experienced blind. While it seems to be spoken of as a horror, Jacob's Ladder is certainly unnerving, but much more of a thriller with a good deal of dramatic elements. The acting is great and Adrian Lyne does a great job of creating genuinely unsettling scenes. This is a film that expects you to watch it multiple times and dissect it, but I enjoyed it plenty without going High School English teacher and over-analyzing everything. If you are looking for a fun Halloween movie, this is not it.
