Critic Reviews
To be blunt, Raising Cain is a thriller that doesn't thrill. [07 Aug 1992, p.30]
Unless it becomes a camp classic, Cain will soon go the way of Abel. [07 Aug 1992, p.2D]
Brian De Palma has always been a derivative filmmaker, pilfering indiscriminately from Alfred Hitchcock (Sisters), John Ford (The Untouchables) and Michelangelo Antonioni (Blowout). But his failed new thriller Raising Cain makes him seem a startlingly incompetent one as well. [07 Aug 1992, p.14]
Following on the abject failure of Bonfire of the Vanities, director De Palma seems to have seriously lost his way. [14 Aug 1992, p.C]
Raising Cain is monumentally bad. It is De Palma's Howard the Duck. [07 Aug 1992, p.10]
When teamed with her former husband, the director James Cameron, Hurd produced some of the most memorable action films of the Eighties, including The Terminator and Aliens. Her first collaborative effort with new husband De Palma, however, has produced one of the worst efforts from a major talent in a long while.

The sadly unable De Palma hasn't raised Cain, he's been buried by him. [08 Aug 1992]
