Have noticed quite a lot of people complaining that this movie did not get enough publicity, so just curious to know how

I read that Silent Hill (one of my fave video game series of all time) was inspired in part by this. (think the creepy wheelchair scene)
I caught Jacob's Ladder couple of years ago, never managed to see this till recently, and I was not disappointed. -

(before I discovered the internet mind you)
After coming out of the theatre having watched something else (cant even recall now) I saw the poster on the outside of the building and was so taken by the cover art that I just had to go back and see it (even though I considered David Caruso to be along the same lines as Dean Cain or Eric Roberts at the time). I went back and saw it 08/16/2000 (5 days after its official release). I still have both copies of my ticket stub!

I used to go up to Danvers State all the time with friends exploring the building, taking photos, etc. I didn't know about the movie when it first came out as I didn't start going to DSH until a year or two later.
It's a sin the place is gone, but we still have the movie to help cope with the loss I guess. (I love the movie, I don't understand the hate some people have for it, it does feel like something is missing, but it's not bad at all generally speaking, guess people have different likes and dislikes) -

It was just sitting there on the dvd shelf at the store. I had never heard of it, but the picture of the single chair on the cover was interesting. got it to share with some friends since we had just returned from a trip to see the Glore Psychiatric Museum (at that time in the original Hospital) which is featured in Ripley's for featuring displays of the history of the treatment of mental patients-from the good to the most horrific! We were allowed to wander through the entire building and grounds-and we each experienced strange feelings in different areas. Watching this film after that-when the final lines are said-the room was completely quiet! The Glore Museum is still there-highly recommended-it's free or donations accepted. The hospital still stands but is now a prison! how appropriate.

I was looking through dvds at FYE and when I saw the title I initially thought of some other movie with a creepy child. Then I read the back of the DVD and it looked intruiging so i gave it a chance. I hated it at first but I just watched it again and really enjoyed it.

Was on a forum all about Silent Hill and a load of people have said from a visual style and the story, it deals with some very similar themes such as abandoned mental hospitals, wheelchairs and repressed memories.

I had read a favorable review for it, and loved the concept, but it didn't play in any theaters by me. I ended up renting it when it released on video. Of course, I loved it, and usually bring it up in discussions about horror flicks.

It was mentioned in a book Fangoria put out entitled: "101 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen".
The movie is a little raw, some of the directing is rough but it's a good creeper movie.

I watched Welcome To The Dollhouse for the first time in YEARS, wanted to see what the character Brandon looked like now and if he had any newer movies, saw "Session 9" on his list of movies and it looked interesting so I watched it.

There is this brazilian website about horror movies called boca do inferno (Hells Mouth) that said the movie would be released on DVD in 2003.I made some basic internet research and it seemed intriguing.I waited until the scheduled release date and nothing happened.
So I ordered the american DVD.
I didnt watch a better horror movie since then -

I grew up in Danvers and worked down the bottom of the hill (more modern state mental health facility that is still open) when they were filming it so saw some production signage and it stuck to keep an eye out for it.
Weird factoid is they also did open casting calls for extras for the movie The Crucible in the main Kirkbride building.
