greyliliyJacob's Ladder (1990) has been on my "to watch" list since I first heard it was an inspiration for a few of the creators of Silent Hill. Unfortunately, I've only recently gotten around to watching it and I have one thing to say: Worth it. 10/10.
This might be one of the best movies I have ever seen, horror or not.
Amazing cast. Perfect Atmosphere. Worth watching two or three times to catch all the little details you missed on the first watch foreshadowing the ending. Great music. It's just. UGGG.
It's so good. And you can see where Silent Hill took inspirations around every corner. I don't even want to say more, because I don't want to spoil it.
This movie had me sobbing by the end of it, though, so make sure you're in the right headspace to watch a film that tackles death, life, and grief so head on. Worth it though if you can make it through.
(That said, I have one complaint: Why is Louie a chiropractor. Louie. Louie you're an angel and I love you but why do you have the worst profession. T-T)
