Bambi is a weird, wild spin on a childhood staple. Imagine a creature-feature twist where the gentle deer becomes a mutated nightmare after tragedy transforms him. 6.5/10
The creature design is bold: massive antlers, gnarly teeth, and a beast-like presence that channels the absurd energy of Jurassic Park-style horrors.
Roxanne McKee holds the heart with a grounded performance as Xana, and Tom Mulheron adds a relatable kid-in-danger dynamic. But mostly it’s about thrills. The action scenes deliver twisted kills, though pacing dips when the story pauses for family drama that never quite earns your attention.
I understand it’s part of the Twisted Childhood Universe which adds a weird allure… this is horror knowing it’s absurd, and leaning hard into that. It’s rough around the edges, but if you’re in the mood for an outrageous, grazing-the-edge-of-camp horror ride, it hits enough marks to make it worth the ticket.
I might check the other movies in the TCU.
