Creepy Kids

Studio 360

“Monster” is often a synonym for “big” but often Hollywood monsters come in small packages. There are more movies about kids turning into monsters than you might think. And two film critics, Julian Cornell, a professor of cinema studies at Queens College and NYU film school, and Owen Gleiberman, a film critic for Entertainment Weekly, tell us why. Produced by Jocelyn Gonzales.
