Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

This movie is not a finished product, not even close. This needed AT LEAST a month or two longer in the editing room because it is a mess! I'm not even talking about the terrible story or acting because I knew I was getting that regardless, which is no problem for me as long as there's some carnage. I'm talking about the atrocious sound mixing/editing, the abrupt cuts and transitions, and nauseating camera work. The basics of filmmaking! Whenever someone is getting murdered, you can't even tell what is going on because the camera work is so amateurish and shoddy. It's almost like the camera operator was having a seizure whenever they were supposed to film a kill.

This movie had a $100,000 budget, yet they showed almost no gore/make-up FX when someone would die. If you're filming a low-budget B horror movie, people are going for the kills and not much else, therefore you better be pumping 80% of your budget into the "horror" aspect of the movie and show some people getting slaughtered.

Terrifier 1 had a $25,000 (a fraction of Blood and Honey's budget), yet showed every kill in grisly detail and people LOVED it! Then they made a sequel for $250,000 and made 13 million off it. I'm not sure where the $100,000 budget of this movie went, but it was most definitely not the kills, editing or acting. Maybe Pooh and Piglet's costumes were each $50,000 a piece, and if so the costume designer definitely pocketed that money.

The only reason I'm not giving this a 1 is because I like the concept of taking a fictional character from the public domain and putting a B horror twist on it. Though a good concept, the execution could not have been much worse. This should not have left editing room let alone released IN THEATERS! The distribution company should be held accountable. It's like video game developers releasing unfinished games. Trash.

2/10.

Hard to find anything good about this film. Even the original disney version was scarier. Felt like some school project and the actors where from same school. It would hav been possible to make great film from this story but this was just awful. Only some of the bloody effects where made good. Just read that they gonna make number two and hard to understand why that would be beneficial. Even if i could see this film for free it still would feel like waste of my time.

If you like this film there's something very wrong in you. Pulling nails is more entertaining. Stay away from this piece of phoo.

I was originally going to watch this in theaters as I do with most theatrically released horror flicks. Then I saw the bad reviews and decided not to watch it. Then I saw the extent of the bad reviews and the amount of coverage it was getting and I decided to watch it as a joke.

I can't say it made me laugh enough to make it so bad it's good. But I was in completely awe for much of the movie. My jaw dropped on numerous occasions at how bad everything is. It's completely incompetent on every level. Every filmmaking aspect is poor. There really isn't much to say.

I'll give one example of the incompetence. It's a scene from very early and is not a spoiler. The women find a gas station in the forest. It looks like it's been abandoned for decades. Broken down cars, overgrown plants, and a completely trashed inside with no electricity. The character walks in looking for a worker so they can fill up gas. I don't understand how stupid a character can be. What possible indication do you have that this is a functioning gas station?

Then to my surprise, she does find someone inside. I figure maybe he's just some homeless guy or a creep. But I guess not because two more customers walk in. I... don't... understand...

The entire movie is filled with this type of nonsense. (1 viewing, 4/23/2023)

Let me start by saying that I went into this expecting it to be very, very bad, but sometimes that makes for a fun watch so I was open-minded. Literally the ONLY decent thing about this movie is the score; everything else, the acting, the writing, the plot, the complete and utter lack of even so much as an ATTEMPT at character development, was a complete mess. It's not one of those horrors that are "so bad it's good", it's just painful to sit through from beginning to end. Full of plot holes, completely lacking a protagonist, full of characters who are uninteresting and un-likeable, I can't imagine how anybody could enjoy this movie.

Simply put its a complete disaster, not even comically bad. I love old style slasher horrors & have seen some bad movies. But none have ever been this bad.

The trees in the woods are less wooden than the entire cast and I've seen far superior acting in primary school nativity plays.

Videography and special effects are dismal, as are the costumes. The writing is so bad & confused that it can't decide whether it's in England or the US and the plot is so thin it's near on invisible. The writer had a ready made character set and the world was his oyster. They literally had so many directions they could have taken and yet managed to get it so wrong.

Just don't bother. Watch the trailer & be done with it. That will save you wasting 90 minutes of your life.
