Jacob's Ladder

Saying that Santa Claus stole your wallet when they're already looking at you like you're crazy is not a good move xd ———Spoilers/Review——— An interesting first watch, to say the least. The film doesn't treat the viewer like an idiot, and i appreciate that. I could catch most of the symbolism on my own and keep up with the moving plot. That said, i wish some of the horror elements had hit harder. By the time a rapidly shaking head popped onto the screen for the tenth time, all it got from me was a slight eyebrow raise. Also, one gripe i have is that they spoon-fed the ending and it's meaning pretty badly. Couldn't have they just ended the film on the scene where Jacob and Gabe ascended to heaven? This movie famously inspired a lot of the game franchise "Silent Hill". When i played and finished Silent Hill 2, i was left with an empty feeling. I had finished something great, but it didn't feel great. I couldn't see the point of it. It was an amazing journey, but it didn't leave me with anything. It needed time to sit with me before i could start appreciating it and understand what it was doing. This movie is the same in that way. ** In conclusion: GREAT.**
