The teaser trailer for "Bambi: The Reckoning" has left me craving for a film I never knew I needed. This horror retelling of Felix Salten's "Bambi, a Life in the Woods" book, which served as the inspiration for the classic Disney animated film that scarred me as a child, promises to give us the long-awaited vengeance for our beloved deer.
The film follows Xana (played by Roxanne McKee) and her son Benji (played by Tom Mulheron), who find themselves in a car wreck and are soon hunted down by a vicious killing machine - none other than Bambi himself, but in a very different form than we remember.
This British indie slasher, due to be released in July, is the third installment of the "Twisted Childhood Universe" released by Umbrella Entertainment, following the already released "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" films.
And the team has more in store for us this year, with "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare" and "Pinocchio: Unstrung" still to come. All of these twisted tales will come together in "Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble" in 2025.
Watch the trailer for Bambi: The Reckoning.
