    Editorial Reviews

    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, All Movie Guide

    For the Love of Movies.by MattSacco-LazyDayPictures

    March 05, 2009: Brian De Palma is, far and away, the director most consistently, madly, and giddily in love with the art and craft of making movies. Regularly derided for ripping off the films of Alfred Hitchcock, he has been unfairly judged throughout his entire career. What is perceived as theft and debasement of the original material is nothing more than loving tribute (to Film in general, not only to Hitchcock), and he utilizes his pastiche of landmark scenes and subject matter to create his own rich, inimitable style, and to involve viewers in thrillingly complex games that Hitchcock, were he still living, would surely admire.
