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.
