    Jacob’s Ladder (1990)

    Doesn’t look like it but no single other film shattered me as much as this one when I first saw it, well, in the 90s.

      This was my answer too - this film really got under my skin in a way that most traditional scary films don’t, and Tim Robbins is riveting, as always. I was not prepared.

        Neither was I. Would you have known younger me of back then it would not have come as surprise to say I was a little more than receptive to this movie. Watching it, I was absolutely terrified and shattered. Like you said, Time Robin was amazing as he often is.

      Man, it is such a sleeper! The title doesn’t make it obvious as a horror film, and it isn’t one of the bigger successes, but it is awesome
