I agree with others, watch this independently from original

So I've been wanting to see the original Jacobs Ladder for some time. I've been told it's very creepy, confusing and will give me weird dreams... so I've been too chicken as of yet to see it. However, I saw this trailer a few months ago, liked the actors and enjoy entertaining thrillers/horrors so I figured why not give it a watch on the good ole 'Flix. I really did enjoy the acting in here, aside from a few cheesy bits overall I enjoyed the three main stars. When does it ever hurt to see Michael Elay and Jesse Williams in a movie? Just saying! Okay now back to the story, about halfway through I figured there would probably be a certain twist (currently patting self on back for figuring out this non rocket science level plot twist). Was it a perfect movie? No. Was it semi entertaining? Absolutely! Listen, I'm sure the original is probably outstanding and I can't wait to see it one day when I work up the courage. Tim Robbins is an absolute legend. But overall without much expectations going in, I was mostly entertained with this movie. As I think it had good ideas, a decent cast and maybe just needed a little more execution In wrapping it all together.
