Anyone know in which scene it is?

That's strange. It's definitely not in the movie, nor is it in any of the deleted scenes. Still Google suggests Jacob's Ladder when I do an image search.

They look pretty silly though.. Would seem rather out of place in the movie in my opinion.

Really? I don't think it'd be out of place, they look pretty scary.

[–] Dododoodle 10 years ago

Yeah they do look creepy actually, if used in the right way. I think I just couldn't really picture it in this particular film. The demons in Jacob's Ladder are often very vague. You can hardly make out what they look like but you can easily see they look really messed up.

The few that do look clear as day only appear in the screen for only a second to give you that "whoa..!" feeling. I think these guys can be quite scary too if it's done in that way. That one demon in the backseat of the car always would probably look a little silly in a still picture.

My boyfriend and I recently rewatched this film together, and that scene DOES look familiar...

I have literally just finished watching this movie about 5 minutes ago and that picture/scene did not feature anywhere.

You all, I don't think that shot/scene is from 1990's JACOB'S LADDER as directed by Adrian Lyne.

I want to say it's from some indie or student film of the same name, and inspired by the same content. I've seen vestiges of this version on YouTube. Again, I don't know of how much merit it actually is. I could be wrong, but I really think it was some student film or early indie film. That shot may very well be the thumbnail for the unplayed video itself.

It's from the "Carnival of Souls" remake (1998) directed by Adam Grossman.

Google reverse Image search revealed it.

Wow! Holy crap, that movie sure didn't get a good reception.
With fascinating imagery like that, I'd have thought it would be a movie people love?

[–] ultimatenexus 9 years ago

Fascinating imagery doesn't always make a movie that people would love. Sometimes it's an unfortunate distraction for some people. Beyond the Black Rainbow is a good example. It's pretty cool and fascinating in a psychedelic way, but reception was not too kind. Still, I recommend it if you're looking for weird sci-fi 70's-style imagery.

IT is NOT from the movie-Lynne did not want any 'cliche' monsters in the film. plus the pic looks HD, and JL was shot on film
