Jacob, kinda freaked out.

Shawn

In the mood for a creepy horror movie, I picked this one up at my local video establishment. I'd heard it was really creepy, so I figured it was the ticket. We join Tim Robbins, unappreciated actor, playing Jacob in the Vietnam War. All we establish from the opening shots it that something truly strange is going on, then Jacob wakes up. Jacob is a postal worker and even though he's got a P.H.D., he deliberately lives a simple life. Vietnam changed his whole outlook on life. He begins to start seeing things- what he thinks are demons, he thinks these demons are out to get him, and he begins to have out of place vivid dreams of his life past, before Vietnam. Things gradually get worse, and Jacob discovers that there is a conspiracy behind what happened to him in Vietnam. At the breaking point, Jacob begins to question his sanity and his existence. It makes up for a good creepy tone, but it wasn't all that terribly scary. Most of the movie kept me persistently confused instead, but at least the movie arose my curiosity.
