Rewatched the Manchurian Candidate on HD DVD tonight, and it reminded me again of another movie I haven't seen in years. But this other movie was about a Vietnam war experiment where the guys end up killing each other because of some American chemical experiment on their own soldiers. I remember the movie wasn't great, but it had this weird dream-like quality that gave me the creeps. Anyone know what this could be? Thanks!

LOL, that was quick. Thanks Bladerunner!

Edit: I don't remember much more about it and even the circumstances of where I saw it, except that it made me feel weird and uncomfortable after which believe it or not is a good thing. Most movies today leave me feeling numb. LOL

It's on my rental zip list now. If I enjoy it again, I'll be looking forward to buying it on Blu-ray when/if it comes out.

That means that the director did a good job...

Sounds interesting. I'll pick it up at WallyWorld. I think I saw it in a discount bin.

The hospital scene was really creepy, as a matter of fact the whole movie was creepy.

Yeah, JL is a strange movie and real creepy, but I liked it! It has one of those endings where you feel like you should have had things figured out, but it still comes across as one big creepy surprise. Certainly not a great film, but it is pretty good to say the least.
