Piglet

When I sat down to watch the 2025 horror movie "Piglet", I have to admit that I was harboring very, very low expectations to the movie. Yeah, I wasn't exactly overly keen on the 2023 movie "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" nor the 2024 movie "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey II". But still, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to check it out.

The movie was watchable, I will give it that much. Sure, you're not in for an evening of stellar entertainment, but were you expecting that from a movie titled "Piglet" and with its premise and synopsis? Hardly so. So yeah, you pretty much would get what you would assume from a movie such as this. And I suppose on that account, then writer Harry Boxley did a fair enough job. It was a rather generic slasher horror script, if you look past the fact that this was supposed to be Piglet.

I was not familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list. I will say that the acting performances were fair, but nothing outstanding or noteworthy though.

Visually, the movie was semi-okay. There were some special effects that were fair enough, and they helped lift up the otherwise bland narrative.

Would I recommend you to go out and watch "Piglet"? No. Will I ever return to watch it a second time? No.

My rating of director Andrea M. Catinella's 2025 movie "Piglet" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

I recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Piglet (2025) on Tubi. The story follows a man who escapes captivity and takes refuge in the woods, leaving behind a pattern of disturbing acts. When a 21-year-old woman decides that a birthday camping trip with her friend is just what she needs, she soon realizes she's chosen the wrong woods to celebrate in...

Directed by Andrea M. Catinella (Mouseboat Massacre), the film stars Alexander Butler (All Roads Lead Home), Alina Desmond (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2), and Shayli Reagan (Mouseboat Massacre).

At first, Piglet seems like it might turn out okay. The setup is solid, and the villain is decently conceived. The kill scenes feature some effective gore and blood splatter, and the film includes some visually appealing sequences, along with nudity and random girl-on-girl action typical of this niche horror trend.

Unfortunately, things go downhill quickly. As the story unfolds, the plot deteriorates, and the addition of Piglet's human sidekick only makes things worse. By the time the final showdown arrives, it feels flat, awkward, and ultimately disappointing.

In conclusion, Piglet is the weakest entry yet in this growing subgenre of twisted fairy tale horror. I'd score it a 3/10.

It seems that there are so few ideas in the Southern Hemisphere that they had to mash up the Poohniverse, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wolf Creek.

And it's rotten down under. Like a metric kiloton of lard left out in the Australian sun - in late January, when their summer is in swing.

I am also running out of pig analogies to describe how bad and stupid this movie is. The cast is terrible. The plot is so dumb. The script was clearly AI-written. The acting is non-existent.

The characters are terrible. Every second of the movie is annoying in every way. I guess the camerawork is okay - and by that I mean whoever was operating the camera was awake. And the editing is decent. But I am sure that the person who cut this atrocity suffered mental harm having to piece this incompetent nonsense to together.

Avoid.

Here is the thing: if you had had a great idea for a horror film that involves a well known, copyrighted character and you just had to get that one our because you had such an amazing script, then there would have been nothing really to stop going through with it, because there are a million ways around that copyright. That for example freddy's wonderland. Anybody wanna tell me that is is not five nights at freddys? And then again someone out there wanna tell me that five nights at freddys is not ACTUALLY chucky cheese without the copyright/trademark???

So the fact alone that they waited until it was public domain already shows that this is nothing but a cheap cash grab.

Thats so incredibly lazy, it makes the asylum look like A-24 in comparison.

Only kevin smith could do less and actually release it.

Poorly written, logical gaps the size of Mars all over the place, and the acting is so far past bad they need to create a new word for it. Piglet looks good, that's about it. In another movie, the look could have worked. The older sister somehow still manages to stand out as aggravating among the rest of the group staying in the cabin. Relentlessly hostile to a guy popping in and out of the movie trying to tell them to leave and that it's not safe. No actual reason other than she just randomly decided she 'doesn't trust him' though he gives zero reason for it. Ridiculous stuff like that. Piglet gets shot with a shotgun in the shoulder. Next scene, no hole on his apron lol. People literally twice hide in plain view of Piglet and another guy and magically aren't seen, woman has a gun fully trained on Piglet but never shoots it while he's killing her partner with multiple stabs for at least 30 seconds. I usually will grin and bear it and watch a movie to the end no matter what, so I can at least say I made it and see the ending. This one tested me like no other. Best scene was when the end credits rolled.
