It reminded me a lot of Leaving Las Vegas. Both are basically the story of death from the character’s point of view, except that Jacob was being killed rather than dying. Jacob’s Ladder had a semi-pleasant resolution at the end, while Leaving Las Vegas certainly did not. Those head-shaking demons are really fucked up.
Jacob’s Ladder (1990) 
Directed by Adrian Lyne

About Me
I'm a photographer, web developer, travel enthusiast, and movie buff living in Alexandria, Virginia, USA.In the summer of 1993, I started writing reviews for every movie I saw and haven't looked back. I'm up to 2,295 reviews now. This makes me cool or a complete dork, depending on your perspective.
Some of these reviews contain spoilers, so if that bothers you, don't read!
