For our tenth anniversary rewatch, we descend once again into the haunting nightmare of Jacob’s Ladder (1990). Joined by Patreon Co-Executive Producer and horror aficionado Rob Perry, we revisit Adrian Lyne’s psychological thriller to unpack its twisting layers of grief, trauma, and reality-bending terror. From Vietnam to New York and beyond, we explore how the film mixes horror with heartbreak — and why it still hits just as hard, decades later.
