10 Even More Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed

10. Bambi: The Reckoning

Tom Cruise’s Dark Universe may have been a disaster, but at least Universal Studios had the foresight and decency to pull the plug when the first instalment bombed.

The same cannot be said about The Twisted Childhood Universe. (Yes, that's what it's actually called.) The first entry of this slasher-comedy saga, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, was arguably the worst film of 2023. Rather than stopping then and there, the studio rushed out a follow-up a year later, and although the sequel was an improvement, that's like saying a car crash is better than a trainwreck.

Due to these films’ abominable scripts, acting, and cinematography, expectations for the next instalment, Bambi: The Reckoning, are rock-bottom. Now, the idea of turning one of Disney’s most adorable characters into a killing machine has potential if handled with care and finesse. But based on the atrocious repertoire of the director, Dan Allen (Mummy Reborn, It Came From Below), this adaptation looks deader than Bambi's mom. (Too soon?)

Not only is The Reckoning guaranteed to be a critical failure, but a financial one. Although Blood and Honey made $5 million at the box office, the follow-up barely earned one-tenth of that amount, indicating even the biggest fans of horror parodies have given up on this travesty.

If that’s the case, Bambi: The Reckoning may very well be the last entry in this worthless franchise.
