The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer's nightmare is that he isn't dreaming.

After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer struggles to maintain his sanity. Plagued by hallucinations and flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls apart as the world and people around him morph and twist into disturbing images. His girlfriend, Jezzie, and ex-wife, Sarah, try to help, but to little avail. Even Singer's chiropractor friend, Louis, fails to reach him as he descends into madness.

I wouldn't go so far as to classify Jacob's Ladder as a masterpiece, but it is smart and compelling and unquestionably worth a first or second look.

滿神的異教徒 3.00/5.00

当作品完成的那一刻起，关于作品的解释权就不受创作者本身控制。究竟是反战，还是时空错乱，或是梦幻颠倒，都没有是非对错。一场永无止境的猜谜游戏，才是耐人回味的上好游戏。比如在我而言，这只是一场多维宇宙互相串联的“我是谁”罢了。

David Sterritt · Christian Science Monitor 91.00/100.00

Tim Robbins gives a strong performance in this first-class horror yarn, which has a surprisingly strong political edge.
