Yeah, I love Jacobs ladder. I deeply loved that movie but it gives me flashbacks and anxiety attacks, so can't watch it. His dissociative PTSD flashbacks and reality switching was so close and accurate to what I went through during mine, the confusion, deeply disturbing mental interruptions, violent flashes, the dissociation, the panic... In my early 20s it was just way too close to home.

But it is so well done. I loved that film. Lol I just could t watch it.
I wouldn't really call it a horror though. Physiological thriller - which is one of my favourite genres. Nordic Noir does intensely good crime/psychological thriller. "Let the right one in" "the bridge" "the killing" "troll hunter" "the girl who kicked the hornets nest" "Miss smilla's sense for snow" and a few others. If you don't mind subtitles, Nordic Noir films (not a company, it's just a term for dark, tense, nordic thrillers) are intelligent, wry and fantastic.
