Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder (1990) is a psychological horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer — a Vietnam veteran trying to hold his life together in New York City.

Jacob works at the post office, lives with his girlfriend Jezzie, and would pass for normal. Except the faces around him keep shifting. He sees his dead son. His old war buddies are reporting the same visions. Every one of them served in the same unit. The screenplay, by Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost), keeps you guessing whether Jacob is haunted, medicated, or something worse — and it never fully tips its hand.

Released in 1990, the film developed a devoted following and influenced a generation of horror filmmakers and video game designers. Danny Aiello and Elizabeth Peña round out the cast. Stream Jacob's Ladder (1990) online on iFILM.
