L'Esprit de Caïn

Upstate New York. Autumn leaves. A child's singsong counting. Carter Nix, devoted spouse and father, is also Cain, his malevolent twin, manipulated by a mad-scientist father. Wifely infidelity triggers a murderous spiral. De Palma's psycho-sexual thriller is best approached as high camp.
