Winnie the Pooh : Blood and Honey

[editor]

Young women being terrorised and killed, except it's by toys gone bad. Not very subversive really.

Yup. Just another violence-celebrating slasher movie with zero wit, invention or creativity, and plenty of young women getting murdered. Great.

 

[story]

Well yunno.
Since this shit clearly isn't going away anytime soon might as well make it absurd and ridiculous.

You never know, ir might turn out to be a watershed moment. "NO! I I care not that a bloke kills women for gory entertainment but when you put that violence in the paws and trotters of beloved fantasy animals, you've gone too far!! Now, now we will do something about this sick filth!"

Did anybody claim it is ? Looks like a poorly made exploitation film which does the barest minimum to deliver on its premise. The premise works though, because unlike 99.99 % of films which are more worthwhile, this now has its own thread here and I've seen it all over social media. It's all about an exploitable hook, the film itself is merely an afterthought.

FWIW I think the Saturday Night murder drama on the telly is more of a problem cos it's more normalised than this stuff. And seen by far more people ,including children.

Appears to be a trend, last year they turned The Banana Splits into a horror film.

So just the Banana Splits then. It was my personal nightmare fuel as a kid, and still can't stand looking at them. I'm typing this with most of the picture off the top of the screen.

It can' hardly be as traumatising as the original, can it?

That's quite the crime scene reconstruction. As the movie clip demonstrates, you never see the death of Bambi's mother but maybe that's where the horror film is going.

The Wizard of OZ as a horror film. Not enough OZ in the trailer tho.

 

[story]

That looks like a hammy drama-lama mess to me but there’s definitely a need for a properly done horror version of the Wizard of Oz.

Tin man automaton, creepy walking scarecrow, the poppy fields, the witches and flying monkeys, the tornado, child stuck in the Otherworld…. And all before we even get to Oz and the manipulative lies of the “wizard”.

The whole thing just feels so Sixth Form.

The whole thing just feels so Sixth Form.

I don’t mind that, in it‘s place and done well.

(Almost) all radio comedy from the sixties was Sixth Form, and a lot of decent telly too.

A review of the film

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey review | Peter Bradshaw's film of the week

Pooh and Piglet are misogynist killers in this terrible horror version of AA Milne, a terrifying combination of not-scary and not-funny

So winnie the Pooh is a murdering psycho? Is this getting a release in China?

Release cancelled for "technical reasons" in Hong Kong ...

Screenings of Winnie the Pooh horror film cancelled in Hong Kong

Websites cite technical reasons but Chinese censors have targeted Pooh before due to Xi Jinping comparisons
