‘Bambi: The Reckoning’ First Teaser Leaves Horror Fans Curious

The first teaser trailer for ‘Bambi: The Reckoning,’ the newest instalment in Umbrella Entertainment’s B-movie horror series with well-known children’s characters, has been released. A dead bird is tied to a tree, and two hunters are shown practising shooting in the forest in the teaser. A discussion that follows refers to Bambi’s mother’s passing. The teaser ends with a frightening deer—possibly an adult Bambi—aggressively attacking and flipping over a car.
The film, directed by Dan Allen, centres on the characters of Xana (played by Roxanne McKee) and her son Benji (played by Tom Mulheron), who are being pursued by the powerful adversary, Bambi.

Social media is ablaze with reactions to the teaser, many of which express curiosity but scepticism about the idea of turning well-loved fairytales into horror films. Some, on the other hand, have embraced the idea of Bambi getting her retribution with enthusiasm.
The teaser’s release comes right after ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2’ and the announcement of the ‘Poohniverse’ film franchise, which will combine ‘Bambi’, ‘Tinker Bell’ and ‘Pinocchio’ into a horror film called ‘Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,’ a la ‘Avengers.’

The ‘Twisted Childhood Universe,’ an expansive universe that includes titles like ‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare’ and ‘Pinocchio Unstrung,’ is expected to include more classic tale characters in the future.
