Bambi: The Reckoning

This is a dark horror monster movie version of Bambi. All you really want from this type of movie is a silly fun monster movie. Basically evil corporation dumps toxic waste and mutates the forest creatures into monsters and they are out for revenge. There are 2 main groups here, the family and the hunters. Both groups somehow manage to have their very own token DEI black character. 1 female and 1 male just to get those perfect numbers. The female is of course the usual
aggressive loud nasty feminist type. That's pretty much it for woke. This is basically a slightly higher budget version of a SYFY channel creature feature. The acting is not very good but that to be expected. The CG creatures are a bit hit or miss. some scenes look decent and others really stick out as cheap and almost unfinished. The story is bare bones and does it really matter anyway. Unfortunately it plays it all a little too safe. The deaths are nothing special and some of the are shot so dark you
can't even hardly see anything. The blood and gore FX you get are decent but there's not enough of it for a what's meant to be monster splatter horror movie. It's all just a little too dull and honestly a little boring, even at only 80 minutes long. This would of done better to embrace the absurdity of the premise and go more campy over the top
instead of playing it straight. If you really like monster movies this may be worth a watch.
