Jacob's Ladder is a horror movie as ethereal journey. Most of the film takes place in the spiritual world re-envisioned as the concrete environment of New York City, where the soul of a dying man named Jacob Singer(Tim Robbins) is lost and confused in the fleeting moments before death. His journey to the afterlife stretches out into a tormenting series of flashbacks, visions and eternal questioning.
Director Adrian Lyne uses a body horror technique in which an actor is recorded waving his head around at a low frame rate, resulting in horrific fast motion when played back. Filmmakers have since achieved the effect by digitally removing frames from footage shot at a normal rate.
