Eh, nevermind.
I barely see Jacob's Ladder as a horror film. It didn't scare me at all. That list is weirdly random.
Are these zombies light sensitive?
I'm wondering if it's because I was raised in a completely non-religious environment, so I just don't feel the underlying premise of the film. For whatever reason, the film just doesn't affect me. I've also never much cared for Tim Robbins' acting, so I'm clearly not the target audience. It just never occurred to me that it could be considered a horror film, but it's been mentioned by several folks in this discussion, so there you go. Horror casts a wide net!I can certainly see how people would have different reactions to it, and I can also see how someone might categorize it differently. When I first saw it, it scared the living daylights out of me. And still does when I watch it. Especially that subway scene. But even just the idea of it,, freaks me out (that is why I mentioned Carnival of Souls as well). Not sure the spoiler tag is needed on this one, as I remember they even gave away the premise in the trailer (I believe)of being dead and not knowing
I agree the list is a bit random

You know what? I don’t really remember.Are these zombies light sensitive?
What's your opinion of The Sixth Sense?I can certainly see how people would have different reactions to it, and I can also see how someone might categorize it differently.

It's definitely a common trope, to the extent that I realised what Sixth Sense twist was during the opening scene.I think that the trope of (REMOVED) from Jacob's Ladder is actually so common in media, that there is a long-running podcast (How Did This Get Made) that refers to the trope when they see it as Jacob's Ladder.
Honestly, it's so common now that whenever I see something that isn't quite making (Sixth) Sense, I say to myself, "Self, is this a Jacob's Ladder?"
What's your opinion of The Sixth Sense?
