“The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer’s nightmare is that he isn’t dreaming” proclaimed the posters for the deeply unsettling JACOB’S LADDER. It takes place in seventies New York and follows postal worker Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins), a Vietnam veteran who is plagued by bizarre and violent hallucinations. These visions are so strong that the line between past and present, real and unreal, begin to dissolve. Jacob makes a desperate bid to solve the mystery of what is happening to him, painfully aware that time is running out. JACOB’S LADDER is an immensely effective psychological thriller which is best experienced on the big screen.
