Short description

Child psychologist Carter Nix is a loving and caring family man, but under this appearance lies a dark and troubled past. Grappling with the consequences of this past on his own psyche and the influence of his returning father and violent brother Cain, Carter becomes involved in a series of murders and kidnappings. Meanwhile, his wife Jenny rekindles an old love affair, placing herself in the crosshairs of her increasingly unstable husband.

  • John Lithgow had already worked with the director on "Obsession" (1976) and "Blow Out" (1981).
  • According to director and screenwriter Brian De Palma, the idea for the film "Raising Cain" was suggested to him by a friend, a child psychologist, who took breaks from his own practice to focus exclusively on the development of his own child.
