Okay, so I’ve been on this huge “psychological thriller” movie kick lately. You know, the kind that really messes with your head? And I just re-watched Jacob’s Ladder (the original, of course!), and man, it still holds up. So, I got this itch to find more movies like it, and figured I’d document my little adventure.
Digging for Gold (or, You Know, Similar Movies)
First, I did what any sane person does: I hit up Google. Just typed in “movies similar to Jacob’s Ladder.”
I got the usual suspects list, you know?
- Session 9: Creepy abandoned asylum? Check.
- The Machinist: Dude losing his mind? Big check.
- Donnie Darko: Okay, this one’s a classic, but definitely fits the “what the heck is going on?” vibe.
I skimmed through a bunch of forum, looking for hidden gems.
