A student nurse (Sophie Quinton) who is prone to fainting spells suspects a hospital's star surgeon (Laurent Lucas) is harming patients.

Critics Consensus

Who Killed Bambi? squanders its suspenseful setup on a clunky and contrived thriller populated by poorly written characters.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

The melodrama acts as an anaesthetic, as it's hard to stay awake while it operates merely as a gruesome style over substance film.

Rated: C

Shadows on the Wall

A sleek and cool thriller that never quite boils over into all-out suspense, which feels enticing but also a bit dull and overlong.

Rated: 3.5/5

One Guy's Opinion

Its lack of sense is exceeded only by the absence of chills.

It starts out somewhat interesting, and remains so from a psychological standpoint, but degenerates into a nonsensical mess plot-wise.

A great thriller with a menacing atmosphere . Beautifully shot, directed with ambition and very well acted. A French cross over between Hitchcock and Lynch.

The trailer looks cool, but once again, the film itself isn't. Apparently slow & over-long like every other French movie does, whereas mood always overwhelms rationality; in addition to Sophie Quinton's shallow acting.
