Now don't judge. You mustn't judge. If you do this will come across as the most atrocious piece of cinema since "Mesa of Lost Women" (1953). "Christopher Robin" (Nikolai Leon) is taking his fiancee back to the wood in which he played with "Pooh", "Piglet", "Eyeore" etc. as a child. What he doesn't appreciate, though, is that in the intervening years things got tough for his erstwhile friends. They couldn't fend for themselves, and were reduced to cannibalism to survive.... Aside from altering the balance of their tiny mids, this also instilled in "Pooh" and "Piglet" a grim and determined need for vengeance. What now ensues is hilarious. What ever budget there was must have been spent on gin for the cast: the costumes and lighting are pretty dreadful and the script - well that is almost as bad as the acting. Leon is quite easy on the eye, but the sight of him being whipped to within an inch of his life with the tail of "Eyeore" by a large man in an ill-fitting yellow bear suit whose mouth was oozing honey like a drooling bairn just has to be seen. Cinema can be too earnest and worthy at times, and I think this is the perfect recalibration for that - it is certainly neither, nor is it a film you will ever (want to) remember after you've seen it. Still, the cinema was packed and there was laughter a-plenty throughout the eighty minutes or so this risible drivel lasted. It could easily be a school project - nothing here is of an higher standard, and it did make me squirm at times as the 1970s "Doctor Who" special effects department came back to life - but I didn't hate it.

Rhys Frake-Waterfield... what in god's name have you done.

Let me preface this with a note that I am no stranger to horror, terrible horror, and finding enjoyment in what the masses hated.

I went into this knowing this was a godawful movie. I expected at least one of those "i know this b rated horror is ridiculous, terrible and pure shite, but because I know that, it will be hilarious."

oh boy. and there's a sequel?

roll on another godawful series i now have to complete bc thats the way my brain and ocd works.

this is godawful. i mean _god awful_. i mean i couldnt stop yawning, i almost stopped watching entirely and dropped it, and i have promptly told everyone who was going to watch it under the same premises of "this is awful so it should be funny" to just stay cleer of it and watch any of the other 100-300 horror movies coming out this year.

that being said, if this was an animated horror movie, i think this would have been perfect and done brilliantly. but this? dear lord.

what a terrible start to my 2023 year watching.

#WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney #MovieReview 🍯🐻🔪

"Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" is a horror twist on the beloved Winnie the Pooh characters, offering a dark and unsettling take on the classic story. While I'll do my best to avoid spoilers, expressing my thoughts on this film is challenging given the unsettling content it presents.

From the start, the movie sets a grim tone with the disturbing portrayal of Eeyore as a man-eating creature, a jarring departure from the familiar and endearing characters we know. The film takes the characters to grotesque and repulsive extremes, leaving viewers feeling conflicted and saddened by the drastic changes.

As the storyline unfolds, the revelation of Piglet and Pooh as serial killers adds an uncomfortable layer to the narrative. The transformation of beloved characters into evil personas, including Rabbit, Owl, and Gopher, leaves the audience bewildered and unsettled.

Unfortunately, the storyline falls short, and the acting fails to elevate the film. Watching this on Peacock proved to be a disappointing experience, with missed opportunities to explore a more nuanced approach to the characters. The decision to depict the characters as realistic yet unsettling figures in a bizarre fantasy world adds to the confusion and detracts from the overall viewing experience.

In conclusion, "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" misses the mark with its dark and misguided interpretation of the beloved characters. It struggles to find its footing, leaving viewers perplexed and uncomfortable with the drastic departure from the heartwarming tales of the Hundred Acre Wood. 🍯🐻🔪
