Experience a 35mm presentation of Jacob's Ladder, Adrian Lyne’s haunting descent into fractured memory and metaphysical dread. Starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran struggling to rebuild his life in New York City, the film unfolds as a waking nightmare—where reality splinters, time collapses, and unseen forces seem to stalk him from the shadows. As Jacob’s visions grow increasingly disturbing, the boundaries between trauma, paranoia, and the supernatural dissolve, leading to one of the most unforgettable and emotionally devastating finales in modern horror.
Shot by cinematographer Jeffrey L. Kimball and released in 1990, Jacob’s Ladder blends psychological horror with spiritual allegory, influencing decades of genre filmmaking and video games with its nightmarish imagery and visceral practical effects.
Projected on 35mm, the film’s gritty textures, shadow-drenched interiors, and tactile grain heighten its disorienting power—restoring the raw, analogue intensity audiences first experienced. This special screening offers a chance to encounter a cult classic as it was meant to be seen: immersive, unsettling, and profoundly human. So book your tickets now for this very special event.
