Classic Friday : Raising Cain (1992) 8/10

Starring : John Lithgow, Lolita Davidovich, Steven Bauer, Frances Sternhagen
Director : Brian De Palma
Running Time : 88 mins

Child psychologist Carter Nix (Lithgow) has begun to exhibit some very disconcerting behaviour in regards to the upbringing of his child, and his wife Jenny (Davidovich) has begun to suspect that her husband may be turning into his father, also a doctor who drove his son to the brink of insanity. The question is, does Carter really have a split personality or is something far more sinister going on…

John Lithgow really makes this movie what it is. He manages to deliver a frightening yet comical performance in a role that many would find difficult to handle. The remaining cast are pretty forgettable, but Lithgow alone makes this a classic which should be a must in everyone’s DVD collection.
