Like, its worse this time because i know the twist is coming and I know all of this just madd up nonsense that doesn’t matter at all. At least in a more standard Jacob’s Ladder scenario, at least the people are real.

Haven’t seen this in 22 years and I think my original assessment holds true, dumb.
Twist just does not work for me.
Would have preferred if it was ‘They’re all dead! And this rained out motel is Hell’s waiting room, populated by monsters with an appointment for ETERNITY.’

Share a ‘90s movie you think deserves more love.
Nobody’s Fool (1994).
I’m hard pressed to think of any movie that *feels* more like a novel.
