Mutated Bambi Seeks Revenge in the First Official Trailer for ‘Bambi: The Reckoning’

With a terrifying look at a mutant deer on a lethal rampage, the first full-length trailer for the independent horror movie ‘Bambi: The Reckoning’ has been published.

 Jagged Edge Productions is the creator of this gloomy retelling of Felix Salten’s ‘Bambi, a Life in Woods’, which was subsequently turned into the cherished Disney classic.  ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’, its sequel ‘Blood and Honey 2’, and Peter Pan’s ‘Neverland Nightmare’ have all been made by the studio, which is well-known for transforming abandoned childhood IPs into scary movies.

 The movie centres on a mother and son who are being pursued by ‘Bambi’, a grieving, deformed deer who wants to get revenge for his mother’s passing, following a vehicle accident.  Viewers’ reactions to the two-minute teaser, which shows ‘Bambi’ wreaking havoc, flipping cars, and viciously assaulting victims, were varied.

Some horror enthusiasts are ecstatic and can’t wait to see where this most recent perverse adaptation goes.  However, some believe that the practice of making kids into scary villains is becoming stale, and some even wonder if these movies are merely gimmicks or genuinely entertaining.

 Additionally, this ‘Bambi’ will be a part of the growing “Poohniverse”—a networked horror series that will bring together classic figures like Pinocchio, Tinker Bell, and Winnie the Pooh for the crossover movie ‘Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble’.  The expanding horror story is also anticipated to feature more characters, such as ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘The Mad Hatter’.
