When we first heard about it we thought it was a joke. Then we saw the first images and we found out it was true, somebody was doing a horror bloody slasher film about the character Winnie-the-Pooh, always related to family-oriented children’s stories. Now, we have seen the first official trailer for the movie and yes, the shit is real.
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is a horror retelling of A. A. Milne‘s 1926 book Winnie-the-Pooh, and follows the anthropomorphic characters Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet as they become bloodthirsty murderers when Christopher Robin abandons them for college.
During his childhood, Christopher Robin befriended Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and their friends, playing games and also providing them with food. As he grew, these visits grew more infrequent, as did the food supply, causing Pooh and the others to grow increasingly hungry and desperate. When Christopher went to college, the visits stopped completely, causing Pooh and Piglet to become completely feral and unhinged, resulting in Eeyore and the others getting killed and eaten at some point. Now, Christopher has returned to the forest alongside his new wife, hoping to introduce her to his old friends. Feeling betrayed, this results in them going on a murderous rampage for human flesh as they antagonize a group of university girls who are occupying a rural cabin.
Rhys Waterfield, a producer for a bunch of recent b-movie horror and science-fiction flicks like Dinosaur Hotel (2021), The Legend of Jack and Jill (2021), Spider in the Attic (2021), or Easter Killing (2021), is the producer, writer, and director of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.
The main cast for the film is formed by May Kelly, Amber Doig-Thorne, Natasha Tosini, Richard D. Myers, Maria Taylor, Gillian Broderick, Danielle Scott, Jase Rivers, Nikolai Leon, and Craig David Dowsett as Pooh, and Chris Cordell as Piglet.
We still have to wait for the official release dates for this nightmare of a feature, the one that is going to fuck with our childhood memories turning the family classic into an extremely bizarre and twisted maniac. But, for the moment, some honey for our curiosity and thirst for guts and violence. Watch the first official trailer for Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey released on August 31, 2022.
