When I saw that there was a Jacob's Ladder remake I thought it wasn't serious at first, maybe a fan made short or a trailer for a fake film. Shockingly it's real. Someone thought it was a 'good' idea to remake one of the best horror movies of all time. A film that didn't need to be remade at all. For the last decade an endless amount of remakes and sequels have been coming out as if Hollywood is trying to DESTROY what made the film industry so great. Raise your hands if you want to see yet another unoriginal, milked dry and predictable remake.
Looking past the fact that this remake might as well have been built on top of an Indian burial ground since it was cursed to begin with, it's really cringy how the director tried to give it a new 'spin' by throwing in a main character who looks totally different from the original. It comes off as forced and all of us see right through it. Go destroy more films will ya ? Or maybe produce an actual original idea this time.
