Many childhoods have already been traumatised by Bambi, the classic Disney animation about a young fawn whose mother is murdered. Now, two film-makers are seeking to continue the upset for adults, with a sinister remake which rethinks Bambi as a “vicious killing machine”.
Scott Jeffrey, the director responsible for work such as The Curse of Humpty Dumpty and The Bad Nun, has said he will team up with Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who wrote and directed forthcoming slasher film Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, for a new version of Felix Salten’s novel.
