On January first 2022 the 1926 novel of Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain, enter this guy Rhys Frake-Waterfield.

I want whatever he is on, because not only has he single-handedly turned our beloved woodland creatures in to cannibalistic, psychopathic murdering machines he has come out and said that he plans to make a shared universe with… Bambi and Peter Pan, ladies and gentlemen we are getting a multiverse that no one has asked for and one we don’t even need.

But anyway let’s dive in to possibly one of the most unintentionally hilarious horror films of this year.

Prepare yourself, because the plot I am about to dive in to is real… this isn’t some weird fever dream, this is an actual movie, someone has actually made this film… that being said let’s begin.

So we’re all familiar with Christopher Robin and Winnie The Pooh right? They hung out in the one hundred acre wood with Tigger, Rabbit, Owl and Piglet, right well Christopher brings them food for them to survive, he then heads off to college to study to become a doctor.

Pooh and the gang grow hungry during the winter and end up turning to cannibalism and savagely eat Eeyore alive.

I certainly did not have that on my 2023 bingo card but yet here we are!

It’s all downhill from there, I don’t even know where to begin with this film, I think the one question on mine and everyone else’s mind is… why?

Why take a beloved children’s character that so many generations have grown up watching and reading and turn him in to something like… this!

There isn’t even a justifiable reason why Winnie the Pooh kills in this film, Christopher just simply grew up, he grew up went to college I mean what sixteen year old do you know that has imaginary friends that live in the woods… not many.

You are probably thinking right now “you are reading way to much in to this dude, it’s a film enjoy it” maybe I am but still in a way I’m not wrong.

Blood and Honey is everything that is wrong with public domain movies, filmmakers make these films and then wonder why people hated it, I mean they received death threats from die hard Winnie the Pooh fans, yet they still went ahead and released it… it earned a dire 3% on rotten tomatoes.

Critics said that there’s zero coherent story, and the production value is bad, they’re not wrong it shows, however there is a plus… it does have a good slasher element to it and some kills are dare I say it brilliant, gory but brilliant.

Sadly that’s the only plus that’s in this film, it gets a very rare 0/10 from me, it’s bad that’s all you need to know.

As always catch ya later 🙂
