Jagged Edge Productions is back with another twisted take on a childhood favorite, unveiling the official trailer for Bambi: The Reckoning. The upcoming horror thriller, inspired by Felix Salten’s 1923 novel Bambi, A Life in the Woods, transforms the innocent woodland fawn into a vengeful monster on a blood-soaked rampage.
Following in the gory footsteps of Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey, this latest installment in the growing Poohniverse franchise continues the trend of turning beloved childhood tales into nightmare fuel. Slated for release this summer, Bambi: The Reckoning is set to deliver a new level of horror. One that flips nostalgia on its head and drags it through the darkest corners of the forest.
A Savage Twist On A Timeless Tale
The trailer offers a chilling first look at Bambi’s horrifying new persona. No longer the delicate, wide-eyed fawn of childhood memories, he’s been reimagined as a grotesque, grief-fueled creature with a thirst for revenge. When a mother and son survive a car accident deep in the woods, they quickly realize they are not alone. The mutated Bambi, driven by unrelenting fury over the death of his mother, becomes the relentless predator hunting them down—his kills as savage as his sorrow.
The film promises a brutal survival horror experience packed with unpleasant creature effects, relentless suspense, and enough gore to leave even seasoned horror fans shaken.
A Horror Dream Team Behind The Madness
Directed by Dan Allen and written by Rhys Warrington, Bambi: The Reckoning assembles a strong cast, including Roxanne McKee, Nicola Wright, Samira Mighty, and Tom Mulheron. Producers Scott Chambers and Rhys Frake-Waterfield—who helped bring Blood and Honey to life—return to ensure this twisted fairy tale delivers maximum terror.
With cinematography by Vince Knight and editing by Dan Allen, the film is a collaboration between ITN Studios and Premiere Entertainment, with executive producers Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland overseeing the nightmare-inducing project.
When Childhood Dreams Become Nightmares
Bambi: The Reckoning is a bold, genre-bending statement that no story is too sacred to be reimagined. As audiences continue to embrace this emerging trend of childhood icons turned horror villains, the Poohniverse solidifies itself as a franchise that thrives on shock, subversion, and sheer audacity.
