Member Rating:  
A complicated thriller, directed with great visual style by Brian De Palma, Raising Cain is the story of twin brothers, Carter and Josh (John Lithgow), one good and one evil, who will stop at nothing to find children to further their father's psychological experiments. John Lithgow is outstanding in the role of the brothers. Lolita Davidovich, is also good as his wife Jenny, who he may or may not have murdered. To even identify the other characters would give away too much of the complicated plot, which twists and turns, leaving the audience constantly guessing who is really who. The film is darkly comic and De Palma and his unusual plot devices play homage to Alfred Hitchcock, along with Orson Welles and Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

    This is not a perfect film, but consider the genre and the era. If you like John Lithgow, this is a classic!

    Raising Cain is so underrated and I just don't get it. I honestly think this is one of the best thrillers I've ever seen. Brian DePalma is a genius! It was written brilliantly and the directing was amazing. DePalma has an uncanny way of taking anything and making it completely frightening. This was very entertaining, very stylish, and very thrilling. My heart was pounding out of control during many of the scenes. If you like good thrillers...rent this right away!

    For its time, Raising Cain was innovative and imaginative. While not a great movie, it was clever at times and Lithgow was xlnt again in a dramatic villain role(s). Some shortcomings such as lack of true protagonist that we care about keep this from being a great movie, but worth watching if you like this genre.
