Creepy and effectiveMay 10, 2016
...one of the most satisfying entries within De Palma's decidedly erratic body of work.August 06, 2012
In a world where Redacted exists, Raising Cain isn't De Palma's least effective picture, but it's damn near close, purposely unreasonable and shockingly leaden all the way.September 12, 2016
works superbly in its isolated setpieces, even as the film as a whole doesn't quite hang togetherAugust 19, 2006
Rather than clarifying, De Palma's technique with Raising Cain effectively obliterates the audience's bearings.August 26, 2002
Laughably awfulJuly 26, 2002
Brian De Palma's cruel joke on his fans.November 26, 2003
De Palma's worst filmJuly 19, 2005
Weak thriller. Lost potential. Lithgow is good.August 25, 2016
From first scene to the unforgettable final sting, "Raising Cain" is hypnotic in its richly devised spell, starkly realistic fears invaded by haunting spurts of dream logic.January 24, 2006
A respectable if overly campy De Palma thriller. Like the director's Body Double, this plays better the second time you watch it.
