Beware the children

The Film Society of Lincoln Center will offer 11 reasons for not having children. In short, they'll kill you.
"Problem Child: A Cinematic Display of Bad Behavior" will unspool eleven films starring brats that kill November 28-30. One puzzlement, however, is the opener -- "Mommie Dearest," perhaps programmed as an example of how to handle brats before their eyes turn white.
They'll be new prints of "The Other" and "The Fury," introduced by actress Amy Irving. Other evil kid pics include "The Bad Seed," "The Children's Hour," "Compulsion," "The Exorcist," and, of course, "Village of the Damned."
