Having spent the latter half of the eighties trying out new styles of filmmaking; Wise Guys' knockabout comedy, The Untouchables' prestige gangster pic, Casualties of War's Vietnam movie and The Bonfire of the Vanities' satirical misfire Brian De Palma returned to what he knew best, the Hitchcockian psycho-thriller, for Raising Cain.
John Lithgow plays three roles: child psychologist Carter, his evil twin brother Cain, and their Norwegian father, Dr Nix, who likes to experimental on the young. Carter's wife is concerned that her husband isn't quite paying their daughter the right kind of attention; she's also having an affair which, upon discovery, threatens to send him into a psychotic rage...
A relentless blend of murder, multiple personalities, cross-dressing, crazed parents, bizarre dream sequences and stunning cinematic assurance, Raising Cain harks back to those twin masterpieces Psycho and Peeping Tom, but is pure unadulterated De Palma.

Great Quality
As always I will review the product not the film as taste is subjective (I did like this film, has some memorable moments). The Blu-ray presentation as always with Arrow is great with a really nice transfer, clear John Lithgow x3. The sound also is transferred well. Plenty of extras as always. You are either considering this because you are a fan of the film or a Blu-ray collector, and I'm sure both those categories will be happy with this purchase. If you like Split (2016) or if you like Brian De Palma give it a go.
