Jacob Singer is an American deployed in Vietnam in 1971 when his unit is suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy. He survives and a few years later is living in New York with his girlfriend Jezzie, having split from wife Sarah.
Jacob had completed his PhD but now prefers to work in US Mail to avoid ‘having to think.’ He regularly suffers from hallucinations and bouts of paranoia where random trains and cars attempt to mow him down. Over the next couple of days, his situation deteriorates and he’s unclear whether his life with Jezzie or the one with Sarah is a dream. But worse still, he’s more and more convinced the US military fucked with his head.

Hello i fart
Hello Fart, you little 12 year old fucking asshole. You sure are a funny one – yuk, yuk, yuk.
Im a lot funnier when i fart in your mouth
Yuk, yuk, yuk – that’s a real knee slapper you little 12 year old fucking douche bag. How do you come up with these great jokes you little 12 year old fucking asshole?
Your mom gives them to me
My mom? What do you mean by that you little 12 year old fucking douche bag?
I think you know fully well what i mean, son ; – )
Not really. My mom has been dead for over 5 years. She is incapable of telling jokes you little 12 year old fucking douche bag. Do all you little 12 year old douche bags always tell these “I fucked your mom” jokes? I see these types of jokes a lot from little 12 year old fucking assholes like you. Is that the big thing nowadays in elementary school – the “I fucked your mom” jokes?
This is embarrassing and beyond childish. Just move on.
Oh David you sound like a little girl.
Its okay to be upset sonny you can go play outside now
one of my brother’s favourite movies… i can see why and that makes it sad on a personal level, but it was very very good.
Intense Movie-Haven’t watched it in a long time-still as i remember it-Making peace with the lord before entering the kingdom of God………………
I’m crazy about this movie. I, obviously, watched many fucked-up movies, but this one really got me. I can’t get this off my mind. The tension, those rounds of events that make you feel like you’re going crazy with the main character. Everything’s on point. The twist is kinda obvious, but it doesn’t kill the immersion
Great movie! Psychological warfare… Do you know why Macaulay Culkin uncredited from this movie? His role is small but very important on the plot… which is strange.
holy shit what an intense movie. pure insanity god damn that was a rollercoaster
Best psychological horror I’ve seen, but maybe the genres should remove the potential spoiler tags.
this is one of my favorite movies of all time. The survival horror game silent hill wouldnt be the same without this flick.
excellent film, lots explored and done well. gonna start recommending this to people
Jesus that was terrifying.
Actually, if I’m not mistaken, some of the games from silent hill were somewhat inspired by this movie! There a lot of viideos on YouTube that analyze the correlation between them.
Awesome movie, I really liked it !!
The plot is really interesting, the characters are too, especially Jacob !! The story doesn’t loose you, the characters are likable (well, some at least) ,,,, I have so many things to say about this movie !!
I absolutely love the dancing/party scene, the way it was filmed is just brillant !!
It remind me alot of Hellraisers and the Silent Hill games, I’ll recommend it if you like thoses kind of “medias”, but even if you don’t, give it a go, it’s so astonishing !! Especially the end, so mind blowing (such a twist, wasn’t ready) >:^]
