It takes everything that made the original a haunting and deeply emotional experience and strips it down into a hollow, uninspired shell of its former self. From the very beginning, this film struggles to justify its existence. Instead of offering a fresh perspective or meaningful update, it clumsily rehashes elements of the original without understanding what made them work. The eerie tension, thought-provoking themes, and profound emotional resonance of the 1990 version are absent, replaced by a muddled plot and a series of uninspired twists. The performances are serviceable at best, but even talented actors can't save a film this poorly conceived. The attempt to modernize the story falls flat, and the themes of trauma and reality, which were so poignant in the original, are diluted to the point of irrelevance. Perhaps the most egregious failure of this remake is how it diminishes the legacy of the original. Watching this film feels like watching a clumsy imitation of something far greater, and for fans of the 1990 classic, it's an experience that verges on sacrilege. Final Thoughts: Jacob's Ladder (2019) is a soulless and forgettable attempt to cash in on a beloved classic. It adds nothing of value and actively detracts from the original's legacy. Ship it, forget it, and move on-this is one ladder not worth climbing. An insult to the original and a film best left unwatched. Avoid at all costs.
