Movie Reviews

TheFrightFile.com - 10/10 by Dustin PutmanFrom 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.
Reel Film Reviews - 9/10 by David Nusair...one of the most satisfying entries within De Palma's decidedly erratic body of work.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Eric HendersonRather than clarifying, De Palma’s technique with Raising Cain effectively obliterates the audience’s bearings. Which gives the film’s final sequence—on the surface a shameless swipe from Dario Argento’s killer reveal at the climax of Tenebre—a nasty twist.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Janet MaslinRisky as it sounds, Raising Cain is enjoyable precisely because it makes the most of its own lunacy and stays so far out on a limb. The fact that Raising Cain is beautifully made is, of course, another attraction.
Time Out - 8/10 by Steve GrantLithgow is consistently brilliant, while Davidovich makes a good fist as his wife. A really exciting 90 minutes worth, so long as you don't take it too seriously.
Variety - 8/10 by Lawrence CohnIn 1976’s Paul Schrader-scripted Obsession (also featuring Lithgow), DePalma proved he could handle honest sentiment without sending it up. Here he tips the balance toward self-satire.
BrianOrndorf.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfIn 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.
Q Network Film Desk - 8/10 by James Kendrickworks superbly in its isolated setpieces, even as the film as a whole doesn't quite hang together
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 8/10 by Joe HollemanLithgow is consistently brilliant, while Davidovich makes a good fist as his wife. A really exciting 90 minutes worth, so long as you don't take it too seriously.
Christian Science Monitor - 7/10 by David SterrittAs the body count mounts, De Palma blurs the line between fantasy and reality with gleeful affrontery, creating a dazzling tapestry of visual cheats and narrative trickery which propels his scarcely credible characters and ludicrous plot - involving multiple personalities, babynapping and homicidal maniacs - through to its nervy conclusion.
