Raising_cain.jpg
The wife of a child psychologist is growing ever wary and suspicious of her husband when he starts acting erratic especially around their young daughter. She feels that rather than a doting parent his interests in the child seem abit more scientific. But this may all be in her head after an ex lover shows up out of the blue so maybe she is just picking holes in the man that is the perfect husband and father just to justify her desires to have an affair with her ex.
Raising Cain is an enjoyable film a story of betrayal and the fragile mind of a man that has created multiple personalities to cope with the horrors of his childhood. John Lithgow is by far the stand out in this film from the wimpy Carter to the sadistic Cain and the scared child Josh all performed beautifully by Lithgow. As horrible as his antics are you can't help feeling for him other than the Cain side of him of course. Not my favourite De Palma film but still entertaining
