Bambi: The Reckoning is an upcoming horror reimagining of the classic tale. Directed by Scott Jeffrey and produced by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the team behind Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, the film transforms the beloved deer into a vengeful and terrifying creature.

The plot centers around Bambi as he becomes a feral and bloodthirsty killer after witnessing the traumatic death of his mother. Drawing inspiration from horror classics like The Ritual (2017), the movie is set to offer a dark, grotesque version of the iconic story, blending woodland survival themes with slasher horror.

This unique twist on a familiar story has generated significant interest among fans of experimental horror, though it has also sparked controversy for its departure from the original’s innocence. The release is expected in 2025, and details about the cast and specific narrative points are still under wraps​
