Raising Cain

Raising Cain (1992) is a psychological thriller by Brian De Palma that you can watch online on iFILM. John Lithgow plays Carter Nix, a child psychologist who looks like the perfect husband and father — until he doesn't.

Carter's carefully constructed life begins to crack when children in his neighborhood go missing and his wife Jenny starts an affair. His long-absent father, the enigmatic Dr. Nix Sr., resurfaces with unfinished business — and the experiments he once ran on his own son have left Carter with more than one mind sharing the same body. Lolita Davidovich and Gregg Henry round out the cast in a film that keeps peeling back layers of its central character.

De Palma directs with his signature toolkit: fractured timelines, extended suspense sequences, and a camera that constantly shifts what the audience thinks it knows. Stream Raising Cain (1992) online on iFILM for a tightly wound 92-minute thriller from one of Hollywood's most stylized directors.
