Title: A Tribute to the Complexity of the Human Mind
Review: This movie is done a grave disservice being lableled as "horror." On the contrary, Adrian Lyne's thought-provoking and disturbing film would best be categorized as "cerebral."The illusion of reality is magnificently manifested throughout this movie, as the character of Jacob is systematically caught in a metaphysical vortex that transcends his perception of a post-Vietnam existence. Tim Robbins does an outstanding job playing Jacob, an unimposing man who is simultaneosly confused, overwhelmed, and frightened by the sudden appearance of "demons" in his life. Robbins is surrounded by a stellar supporting cast.The haunting imagery of JACOB'S LADDER stimulates the mind and entices one to see this film, over and over again. It is a profound existential treat.
