Raising Lithgow

The acting in this movie is hilarious. Lolita Davidovich, the mother of one of the kidnapped girls, can never stop smiling! Her boyfriend (Steven Bauer), who played alongside Pacino in Scarface, is only slightly more hilarious as the sensitive 'italian' lover, prone to occasional fits of crying...

Deceptive, Deranged, Demented, DePalma!!

This is a psychological thriller that couldn't have came at a better time than it did, but unfornately it almost got ignored at the theaters. What a travesty! All that was coming out in those days were mindless, generic thrillers like "Sleeping With Julia Roberts", "The Hand That Rocks Rebecca De...

This has a seemingly convoluted plot. Carter (et al., played exceptionally well by John Lithgow) begins to grow strange when he learns that his wife is having an affair with her ex. He becomes more obsessed with their young daughter and a rash of kidnapping/ killings occur. His wife (Lolita...

A bizarre, creepy examination of split personalities....as only De Palma could do it

Raising Cain has been totally destroyed over the years by critics who hate De Palma, and are out to completely discredit anything he does. The thing is, with most people that I know who have actually seen the film: they really like it. Obviously, I love the movie. This film is probably the...

i give this movie 2 stars for the acting of john lithgow but the whole movie is a ZERO

mr. de palama is once again raiding the grave of hitchcock to make yet another slick(or sick if you like) thriller where if you think about the idea for long you can see the whole movie come apart.this is bottom of the barrel film making.

Poor Directing...Can not be compared to Hitchcock!

I don't understand all of these great reviews. This movie was awful. Lithgow doesn't at all seem derranged or scary. There was only one scary part to the whole movie....Terrible, don't waste your time!
