Dawn of the Dad: Masculinity and Maturity in Abe Forsythe's 'Little Monsters'

Both seizing on and subverting the tropes of the zombie subgenre, Little Monsters depicts the antics and artfulness that ensue when a few adults and a gaggle of kindergarteners face off against an outbreak of undead creatures. In among the comedic action, writer/director Abe Forsythe also offers commentary on the cinematically beloved, surprisingly complex figure of the 'manchild', writes Mel Campbell.
