[SPOILERS] Strong Plagiarism of another Cult Movie?


Jacob's Ladder (1990) anyone?

This post contains spoilers about Jacob's Ladder movie also


after watching the end of the movie, trying to put some things together, if we agree to see it as if the whole movie was some kind of imagination/visualization of the dying girl; Then it fits exactly the same concept we are given in Jacob's Ladder.

Also the skinny eyeless "Silent Hill-esque" creature we see most of the time in Carnival Of Souls is VERY similar o the ones we see in Jacob's Ladder (creatures that served as inspiration for some monsters on the actual Silent Hill game)

The plot of the main character being dead and/or hallucinating while dying goes back many decade's. Check out some episodes of "The Twilight Zone" or some classic literature.

Anyway this movie is a stinker compared to the classic original "Carnival of Souls" and "Jacob's Ladder".
