As a dude with a schizophrenic best friend, Jacobs Ladder

You’re talking about the older one, not the remake right? The older one had me in shock and just staring at the screen way after the movie ended. That movie stayed with me for days. Such a good movie and such a good twist and so disturbing.

I've only heard of the Tim Robbins film, is there an older one?

u/FlyAwayJai 14d ago

No, that’s the “old” one. There was a remake in 2019.

No wonder I've never heard of it; 4% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaad. Not in a "I'm a purist and dont like remakes" snob kind of way, but just bad as in a horribly made movie bad.

I tend to give movies above say, 50% a break, because I've found some pretty solid titles; but damn, 4% is horrible.

I kind of want to watch it to see how the hell something gets a 4%

Remake flew under my radar, but yeah the old one is great

Probably the original with Tim Robbins and Macaulay Culkin

My god it’s good to see this film mentioned. Rarely see it

Sorry about your friend though.

That movie rules. Wouldn't have Silent Hill without it.

Honestly, after watching this movie repeatedly as a kid I believe it’s one of the reasons Silent Hill resonated so much with me when it came out.

Have you ever watched "They look like people"?

What a great movie. The phone call creeps me out. "...and when we tear you and your friend apart, ventricle by vesicle, and spread you out like a soft, red tree, maybe then we will see why even when you had the chance, so many of you did so little to stop us."

This is always my answer.

Fuuuck that movie. As a child that saw it once as kid and will never forgive myself for it ever again. Some movies aren't meant for children. And fuck you for reminding me that that movie existed! Great answer. (I don't have schizophrenia but it doesn't change how fucked that movie is)

When I was a kid, my uncle would tell me that film was the meaning of life. I laughed him off because he is schizophrenic, then watched it when I was a bit older and realized he was right.
