 "Jacob's Ladder" - Review - A Truly Disturbing Movie: Frightening, Complex and Totally Unique, A Pure Work Of Genius
Jacob's Ladder features Tim Robbins as Jacob; a Vietnam veteran who spends him time in New York with his girlfriend(being divorced) working as a mailman.
A box office failure, Jacob's Ladder is the product of a screenplay which had apparently been floating around Hollywood for 10 years before Lyne finally snatched hold of it and made this unique movie.
The movie flashes back to the war and some horrific scenes as Jacob decends into madness(?) and back to the present where the demons haunt the suddenly empty streets.

JACOB'S LADDER stars Tim Robbins as Jacob, a divorced Vietnam veteran who lives in New York with his girlfriend Jezzie (a smoldering Elizabeth Pena) and works as a mailman.
Jacob is haunted by painful memories of his dead son (a mysteriously unbilled Macaulay Culkin, star of 1990's monster hit HOME ALONE) and of his Vietnam experience when he was nearly killed by a soldier with a bayonet.
Suddenly, there are monsters roaming through the streets of New York; closed subway stations take on a creepy life of their own; a crowded party turns into a room full of winged demons; a train full of strangers look as though they have sprouted tails and horns.
