Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Forget the ending and you're left with one of the most disturbing, creepy films in film history. Tim Robbins plays a Vietnam vet who's haunted by harrowing hallucinations that obscure his hold on reality. He's convinced the military used him in a drug experiment gone awry. Look for Macaulay Culkin in an unbilled supporting role.
