10 Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019

10. Jacob's Ladder

Jacobs Ladder
TriStar Pictures

A bona-fide cult classic, the original Jacob's Ladder is one of the best horror movies of the '90s, a gloriously insane trip into hell surreal enough to make David Lynch himself a little jealous.

David M. Rosenthal's upcoming remake doesn't have an all-star cast or any major names attached behind the scenes, but it's clear the director and writers are attempting to stay true to the war-torn original while presenting a new narrative that's more inline with today's existential climate.

Like this year's Suspiria, Jacob's Ladder is instead taking the general feel and themes of the source material to explore how warfare in particular can take its toll on the mind. There's still going to be plenty nightmarish sequences of course, and the movie could be the first breakout horror hit when it drops on February 1st.
