Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet develop into carnivorous monsters after Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) abandons them.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey reimagines beloved childhood favorites as ferocious monsters with a style for human flesh. The copyright expiration of A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard’s traditional books permits this grotesque new interpretation. Characters with out an oz. of self-preservation run amok in darkish settings with the merciless Pooh (Craig David Dowsett) and Piglet (Chris Cordell) lumbering behind. The filmmakers might’ve benefited from extra imaginative and prescient and creativity.
Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) takes his fiancé Mary (Paula Coiz) into the ominous Hundred Acre Wooden. He regaled her with pleasant tales of the speaking animals who have been his finest buddies as a boy. Mary thinks it is pure fantasy however permits Christopher this opportunity to show her flawed. They do not know how a lot has modified for the anthropomorphized critters. Christopher fed them. His absence led to hunger and worse for Eeyore. The deserted Pooh and Piglet grew to become carnivores to outlive. They harbor deep resentment and take pride inflicting as a lot ache as potential.
Carnivorous Creatures
In the meantime, Maria (Maria Taylor), a younger girl who survived a stalker, takes her therapist’s recommendation to unplug and get away. 4 girlfriends be part of her on the agricultural retreat. They’re blissfully unaware of lacking locals as they drive to their secluded rental. The engaging besties hand over their telephones to really unwind. Lazy days and stress-free nights, bikini-clad in fact, within the scorching tub awaits. Lara (Natasha Tosini) splashes round whereas taking selfies. She seems to be by way of the images and notices an odd creature peering from the bushes.
Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet swore to not communicate. This implies they’re silent killers who go about their nasty enterprise with out uttering a phrase. It is also as a result of they seem like two guys carrying rubber masks. The overall lack of facial motion and noise saps credibility. They’re additionally coated, so that you solely see heads and palms. We get cannibalistic Michael Myers clones from Halloween. Sources ought to have been diverted from smashing heads like tomatoes to higher prosthetics. The movie’s micro-budget is quickly obvious.
Nonsensical Horror Tropes
The cheese issue is excessive. Audible groans might be heard in my screening as the ladies foolishly bumble. They actually have automobiles at their disposal however by no means drive away. The group might have jumped of their BMW and absconded from the primary scream. Why depart when you’ll be able to separate and scurry round to develop into tasty morsels? The movie takes each nonsensical horror trope to the bottom degree.
Appeals to a Choose Viewers
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey piqued my curiosity once I examine its improvement. Pooh bear resenting Christopher Robin and turning right into a homicidal man-eater sounded intelligent. Expectations weren’t met right here. The movie could solely appeal to a select audience.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is a manufacturing of Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios. It’s at the moment in theatrical launch from Altitude Film Distribution.
