Synopsis: "Raising Cain Re-Cut," by Peet Gelderblom, is a fan-edit of the 1992 psychological thriller "Raising Cain," directed by Brian De Palma. The original film was known for its complex narrative structure and multiple personalities, which many viewers found confusing. Gelderblom's re-cut version aims to present the story in a more coherent, linear fashion, closely aligning with De Palma's original script and vision.
In this version, the story focuses on Dr. Carter Nix, a respected child psychologist, who harbors multiple personalities, including his evil twin brother Cain. As the narrative unfolds, Nix's fractured psyche begins to unravel, leading to a series of terrifying events involving his wife Jenny, a series of child kidnappings, and a sinister psychological experiment initiated by Nix's father.
Gelderblom's re-edit emphasizes the psychological tension and dramatic elements of the story, creating a version that feels more like a classic suspense thriller. The fan-edit was praised for offering a fresh perspective on De Palma's work, making it more accessible while maintaining the director's stylistic flair.
