Who Killed Bambi? (2003)
Director: Gilles Marchand
Movie review
From Time Out New York
French screenwriter Gilles Marchand's directorial debut puts a nasty spin on the classic woman-in-peril scenario: Wide-eyed nursing resident Isabelle is suddenly afflicted with debilitating dizzy spells. A local surgeon jokingly dubs her "Bambi"; meanwhile, pretty young patients start disappearing. Our heroine soon wonders if the doctor is tampering with anesthetics...or worse? The creepy thing is that there's no bizarre conspiracy behind the malfeasance, just an awful betrayal of trust—the kind of thing that sends an icy, paranoid chill through the blood.Author: MM
