"If you're afraid of dying, and you're holdin' on, you'll see devils tearin' your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freein' you from the world. It all depends on how you look at it."
I was looking for this amazing line from the film by Danny Aiello’s character “Michael.” Such great symbolism and interwoven biblical themes in this film without coming off as clearly “good vs. evil”
I'd highly recommend Hereditary. Another movie that's genuinely terrifying (in a haunting, emotional kind of way). I don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it but there's a sequence that's arguably one the greatest examples of pure psychological horror ever.
Jacob's ladder has the most realistic depiction of a "Dream world" in ANY movie, better than Matrix, Dark City, Inception etc etc The scenes are so random but if you think of them as dream, it all makes sense. People's faces are swapped around, you meet random people you never met before, people you know acting strangely, you living a different kind of life, you being transported from one situation to another situation abruptly etc Its so freaking perfect.
I always thought the line from his chiropractor explained everything (based on him dying in Vietnam). “ If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.” Which is a line from German Philosopher Eckhart Von Hochheim
The original inspiration for Silent Hill. Playing the games is what got me interested in this movie and it was definitely an intense and horrifying experience. It's maybe the deepest horror movie I've seen.
Man I was honestly a bit disappointed with Silent Hill when I saw how much of the aspects that I always found the most creepy about SH were directly taken from the movie
@@felipeaguena5289 That's fair but personally? It didn't bother me that much. I feel like they mostly did their own thing and the stuff taken from this movie wasn't that crucial to the stories they were telling.
Had an ex who was diagnosed with moderate schizophrenia and she couldn't make it far past the subway scene everything in it looked spot-on exactly like what she would see. For the record we watched a LOT of horror and it was just another random video store night. If I had seen it prior to that evening myself I definitely DEFINITELY would not have tried to have her watch it with me.
This movie was a masterpiece. Even though I haven't seen it in probably 15-20 years, I still vividly remember all of these scenes. That hospital scene is one of my favorites of all time, I don't think that feeling will ever go away.
A Masterclass in not just horror, but filmmaking. Cinematography, score, tight editing, brilliant directing and acting. This horror movie is so good it even finds a way to use it's lone jumpscare correctly! It *earns* it.
I am sure some one said this but Jacob's "Ladder" does not take place in the 90's, Though it was filmed at that time. It is actually a period piece and takes place in 1975. 5 years from the war sequences and flashbacks. Anyway keep up the good work.
Something else the movie was really good with was some of its jumpscares. They’re infrequent enough to where they catch you off guard, and they’re not built up to. They just happen, you don’t expect it, and then things seem to snap to “normal.” It really does help with the disorientating, nightmarish feel of the movie, and is a good example of a movie using jumpscares effectively. “DREAM ON.”
They’re not jump scares. They’re fucked up visuals from out of nowhere that suggest he’s hallucinating or that something horrifyingly sinister is going on in the world around him.
Thank you Jacob, you inspired Silent Hill. Avoid the remake, its a complete waste of time, its a remake that nobody asked for. Check out Session 9 instead.
I think this is true for many. I remember my classmates telling me about it and every description sounding like a different movie. But I knew they had seen something crazy.
Adrian Lyne only made 8 movies...which is sad. I want to see more movies of him because all of them are really well shot. I adore movies with a lot of haze and lighting.
Justin has such a negative and snobby vibe to him. He seems like someone I couldn't stand being in the same room as for too long. I mean, jesus man, let James talk.
Great movie. The demons are actually angels helping him to let go of his life. I feel like if they changed anything the movie wouldn't be as memorable and great as it is.
Jacob's Ladder is one of the best psychological horror films ever made! It's an overwhelming movie that really gets you thinking deeply about life and death. It's a masterpiece, but personally it's an emotionally hard movie for me to watch.
One of the all-time great horror movies, capable of both being scary and genuinely moving at different points. Even if the ending has been spoiled for you (as it was for me, just from being such a famous horror classic growing up) it's absolutely worth a watch.
Honestly knowing the twist doesn’t ruin the movie at all. Just makes it so you’re looking out for the tells and hints, not to mention it’s just so emotionally charged.
This movie is my shit! One of the few horror movies I lie awake at night thinking about… Very innovative and crazy stuff, it’s amazing to see how many influences it has in the media to date. Rip Elizabeth Peña
It all boils down to who has more to say about the movie. Here, Justin has more to say, and James plays off him, and, to me at least, it works well for what it is.
I was going to comment on this if you didn’t. Justin obviously has a lot to say, and it’s good stuff, but he does need to let James finish his thoughts. There were a few moments where James wasn’t able to get his point across and it was then lost. Hopefully they see this and learn from.
Great movie, so-so review. Almost no thoughts from James. And, sad they didnt mention an alternate ending to the movie, which is on youtube and was never released officialy
While having more Macaulay is fine by me, I'd assume he doesn't have a whole lot to say about his experience being in the film besides "Tim Robbins is a nice guy" or something.
One of the scariest parts to me was actually one of the things said by the hippy chemist, how they "fed em just massive doses man" referring to young POWs and witnessed them tear themselves and eachother apart with unseen animal brutality in a courtyard. Obviously there's no scene of this event but just the mental image I can picture is horrifying and all the more so because this sort of thing is not 100% outside the realm of possibility in the real world.
@@kacper2274 I think they came out around the same time. The biblical, spiritual themes. Heavy study on mortality and existential fear. Another good one... The Name of the Rose (1986).
Funny you guys reviewed this today. I recommended this to a work buddy and we were discussing it a bunch yesterday. One of my favorites, I just wish the ending was more open.
I feel like he was in a coma, fighting to stay alive and it was angels and demons trying to pull him either way. Amazing film. Cried like a baby at the end.
Hard to find movie. But worth watching. It started like a war movie and turns into a kinda thriller and to a horror movie and into a depressing movie. Masterpiece.
This movie is about the purification of the soul before entering the afterlife. You must be purged and purified of your sins, trama, guilt, and regret before entering heaven. Same as the movie Room 1408, which is awesome BTW
Really good film! I remember someone recommended it years ago because they knew I was a Silent Hill fan so I watched it and was blown away! You don’t often get this kind of melancholy in a horror movie with well acted performances that really flesh out the tragedy so it’s pretty unique. Silent Hill definitely took a lot from it. This is what the Silent Hill movies should have been like! - Edward
Love this movie. Interestingly enough, my dad (who showed me this movie) loves this movie and named me after McCauly Culkin character, just because it really stuck with him.
Thanks for explaining this movie, I watched it when I was younger, but never thought of it as a significance until my coma. Might watch it again. The movie is definitely how near death experiences, and being locked away in your head are. Scary af.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth. I love that monologue.
I feel like Justin barely came to understand the structure and point of the movie as they were reviewing it. I feel like James gave him the push he needed to "get it". One of my top 10 favorite films of all time.
he was somewhat confined to a narrow materialistic explanation, when really the movie is intentionally open to both materialist and supernatural explanations
I had watched this movie last year, but I revisited it for my Mental Illness class this year. It was so fun to hear what all my classmates had to say about it, as most of them had never heard of it. Everyone was arguing back and forth on what everything meant. It was great :)
Silent Hill and its plot and themes are such a huge result of a pastiche of several forms of media that it's not really fair to credit just one. I will give you that this film is a significant influence, no question.
I'm honestly surprised it took James this long to review this. It's my favorite "horror" film. Also, you guys had Macaulay Culkin on and you didn't ask him about this? Come on guys, maybe dedicate more episodes when you have big guests on. Other than that, love you guys. Keep it up!
I'm sure your friend is cool or something, but James you're the commentary I'm interested in. I feel like collaborative reviews is less cohesive and definitely not the singular opinion that I've come to enjoy from you. It's a shame that this happened for one of my favorite movies.
Akihiro imamura said in interviews that this movie was one of the main inspiration for silent hill. In fact, the film has many settings in common with Silent Hill, such as the hospital and subway.
"If you're afraid of dying, and you're holdin' on, you'll see devils tearin' your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freein' you from the world. It all depends on how you look at it."
A classic line
That monologue is aces. One of my favorite quotes from a movie.
I was looking for this amazing line from the film by Danny Aiello’s character “Michael.”
Such great symbolism and interwoven biblical themes in this film without coming off as clearly “good vs. evil”
There's a song I like that samples this quote. So classic.
I'm a rabbit in your headlight
I think Jacob's Ladder is one of the best horror films I've seen. There aren't really films like it nowadays. Pure dread and horror, no jump scares.
Try the French film "Climax" if you love this kind of psychological horror. You won't regret it
I'd highly recommend Hereditary. Another movie that's genuinely terrifying (in a haunting, emotional kind of way). I don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it but there's a sequence that's arguably one the greatest examples of pure psychological horror ever.
agreed. its definitly one of my favorites
I'm glad this movie is getting the recognition it deserves
Such a timeless masterpiece this movie is
And that's why they remade it. Nothing's sacred to the Hollywood machine.
@@StCerberusEngel yeah I can't wait until they make Fortnite the movie
This movie was so trippy and shocking.
Loved it.
Well said!!!! I've seen it dozens of times.
Easily my favorite horror movie. Just so good.

This film is much more than a horror movie: even if technically set filming standards for future horrors, the plot trascends the genre
I agree. It transcends horror and goes much deeper.
But it’s also a great horror movie
To me it's a movie that all future horror films can learn from.
Psych Horror?
It's also got political commentary (MK Ultra), which unfortunately goes over most people's heads.
I always thought the line from his chiropractor explained everything (based on him dying in Vietnam).
“ If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.”
Which is a line from German Philosopher Eckhart Von Hochheim
scruffylooker Or the whole time he’s dying he could be hallucinating from BZ Gas that they explain at the end of the movie
That saying is much older. Hochheim is just a hack.
That line is great, and the delivery in the movie is perfect

The scene with the faceless people on the train is one of the most unnerving things in movies.
Those things reminded me of the Cenobites from Hellraiser
Had an ex who was diagnosed with moderate schizophrenia and she couldn't make it far past the subway scene everything in it looked spot-on exactly like what she would see.
For the record we watched a LOT of horror and it was just another random video store night. If I had seen it prior to that evening myself I definitely DEFINITELY would not have tried to have her watch it with me.
The train is the train taking you to your last destination. He avoids it because he is not ready to move on. And so on and so forth
This movie was a masterpiece. Even though I haven't seen it in probably 15-20 years, I still vividly remember all of these scenes.
That hospital scene is one of my favorites of all time, I don't think that feeling will ever go away.
That final speech-esque line the doctor gives Jacob is both haunting and beautiful at the same time.
Gives you something to ponder.
What's your favourite scene, James?
Justin: Well I'm glad you asked...
@Mourning Star yeah he seemed dismissive of this film.
@꧁༒ loɴely ғoх ༒꧂ Right?? He's kind of an ass too. Nothing impresses that guy.
Glad i'm not the only one, just lets James talk damnit
@The Mold and that Madonna references.. goddamn son.
You can tell James is getting annoyed lol
What a plot twist! Can't believe the Wet Bandits hit Macaulay Culkin with their van at 1:55.
Great editing, guys!
I guess they finally got him
A Masterclass in not just horror, but filmmaking. Cinematography, score, tight editing, brilliant directing and acting.
This horror movie is so good it even finds a way to use it's lone jumpscare correctly! It *earns* it.
The way that lady looks at him on that train was chilling as hell
*I was watching that yesterday. I almost pee'd on myself from laughing*
This movie is goddamn terrifying.
I heard that terminally ill patients like this movie because it helps them to make peace with their condition.
Finally, a Monster Madness where James actually gets to talk.
@ better than the other reviews is what he means, I think.
I am sure some one said this but Jacob's "Ladder" does not take place in the 90's, Though it was filmed at that time. It is actually a period piece and takes place in 1975. 5 years from the war sequences and flashbacks. Anyway keep up the good work.
I love how James counters Justin's negativity lol.
I don't get why Justin is in so many of the videos.
@@bradlaakso8431 I think Justin brings a lot of knowledge to the content that's being reviewed, but he is definitely become a heel of Cinemassacre

"All the demons trying to take him to heaven or hell."
Sorta like James' Super Pitfall AVGN review eh?
"It all depends on how you look at it."
Thank you Jacob, you inspired Silent Hill. Avoid the remake, its a complete waste of time, its a remake that nobody asked for. Check out Session 9 instead.
Jw Nj Session 9 is brilliant
I remember this movie being stuck in my head for years after seeing it as a kid 😭
Horror . It worked
Friggin awesome movie. I remember seeing it and had to have all the lights on at night just to go to the bathroom.
Scariest movie I've ever seen
I think this is true for many. I remember my classmates telling me about it and every description sounding like a different movie. But I knew they had seen something crazy.
Fun game: click around on any point in the review, and James won’t be talking. 5 points if you land on one where he is
The film that inspired the scariest video gaming franchise ever made, Silent Hill!
Jacob's Ladder was a better Silent Hill movie than the Silent Hill movie.
Well, one of them, anyway.
This movie>silent hill movie>those shitty silent hill games.
@@petesmith9475 ok I'm bringing my pitchfork
And let's not forget other sources that served as another influence, like the controversial artist Francis Bacon.

Damn, i never noticed that Macaulay Culkin was the kid in Jacob's Ladder!
Heard of this film before in my youth and stuff. Thanks for covering it James
Was also a line (sampled from Jacobs Ladder) in the Unkle/Thom Yorke collaboration ‘Rabbit In Your Headlights’
Love this movie. Interestingly enough, my dad (who showed me this movie) loves this movie and named me after McCauly Culkin character, just because it really stuck with him.
Hey James, please review the "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES" franchise this year please, thanks.

I Love that you reviewed this.
Trank you James and the Team
This is easily one of my all-time favorite films of any genre. It's top-notch in pretty much every way.
Loved this film. Used to watch it with my dad as a kid.
Same here.
Such a great movie. it's a perfectly structured psychological roller coaster that has stuck with me since I saw it.
Remember randomly finding this movie. Must be over 15 years ago. Masterpiece for sure.
That bit where Danny Aiello tells him about realizing the devils are really angels . . . tear up just thinking about it
Yeah. Some lines you never forget
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.
I love that monologue.
For those that didn't get, the Jacob's Ladder in Mega Man is more a reference for the electrical thing, not the movie
I feel like Justin barely came to understand the structure and point of the movie as they were reviewing it. I feel like James gave him the push he needed to "get it".
One of my top 10 favorite films of all time.
he was somewhat confined to a narrow materialistic explanation, when really the movie is intentionally open to both materialist and supernatural explanations
This movie was the 6th sense decades before it became a thing. The attention to detail was amazing.
The Sixth Sense came out in 1999, this movie came out in 1990. So to you nine years is DECADES?
You should talk about the classic The Changeling, with George C. Scott. Classic and underrated movie. Nobody I've ever asked has ever heard of it.
I had watched this movie last year, but I revisited it for my Mental Illness class this year. It was so fun to hear what all my classmates had to say about it, as most of them had never heard of it. Everyone was arguing back and forth on what everything meant. It was great :)
