Bambi: The Reckoning director Dan Allen says the new rollout of fairytale slashers are onto something much deeper beyond shock and gore.
"So often, these films have been called 'childhood killers'; I think that is a bit extreme," Allen says in the new issue of SFX Magazine, which features The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 on the cover and hits newsstands on Wednesday, April 23. "But to actually engage with it on a narrative level and have a movie that is thematically about the loss of innocence and the death of childhood makes this really quite faithful to the heart of it."
