Raising Cain (1992)

In the shadowy world of psychological suspense, Dr. Carter Nix, an esteemed child psychologist, finds himself enveloped in a chilling obsession over the upbringing of his young daughter, Amy. His wife, Dr. Jenny Nix, watches in growing unease as Carter's obsession escalates. Her concern, however, is momentarily eclipsed by her clandestine affair with a past love, Jack. In a sinister plot, Carter lures the mother of another child into his web, attempting to convince her to allow her son to participate in an experiment in Norway. When she refuses, Carter employs a method as chilling as his intentions - he abducts the child, leaving the unconscious mother in the care of his enigmatic brother, Cain. Back home, Jenny's affair is uncovered, and Carter's response is as cold and ruthless as his previous actions. A babysitter is killed, and evidence is planted to implicate Jack. Jenny becomes his next victim, suffocated and sunk to the depths of a swamp, her disappearance cleverly framed as the act of a stranger. With his wife out of the picture, Carter spins a tale of mystery and fear, claiming his wife and daughter are missing. His detailed description of a fictitious suspect sparks the curiosity of a veteran detective who recalls the case of Carter's father, a disgraced psychologist known for his disturbing mind-control experiments. The detective brings in Dr. Waldheim, who unveils the unsettling history of Carter's father. But just as the truth begins to unravel, Jenny resurfaces, shattering Carter's carefully crafted narrative. The police now face a race against the clock to uncover the whereabouts of the kidnapped children and untangle the web of deception spun by a man desperate to recreate his father's twisted legacy. Raising Cain is a chilling exploration of obsession, deception, and the haunting echo of past sins.
