Bambi: The Reckoning horror film to premiere in Vietnam

The horror film “Bambi: The Reckoning” is set to release in Vietnam on October 23, marking the introduction of The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) to the country's cinema audiences.

Inspired by Felix Salten’s 1923 novel, the film reimagines the traditionally gentle character as a massive, mutated predator. The plot follows Xana (played by Roxanne McKee) and her son Benji (Tom Mulheron) after a car accident leaves them stranded in a remote forest, where they must survive being hunted by the creature.

Developed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and Jagged Edge Productions, the film is part of the TCU franchise, which focuses on transforming classic literary and fairy tale characters into horror icons. Previous entries in this universe include “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” and “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.”
