Blu-ray Review – Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey

In 2022, the world of A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" entered the public domain, allowing anyone to use the iconic literary characters, opening the floodgates for imitators and opportunists. Writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield is the first to try something with this new Pooh order, electing to avoid the family film circuit and plunge right into horror, concocting "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey," which reimagines the silly old bear as a Leatherface/Jason type, determined to consume and kill as many helpless victims as possible, joined by his pal, Piglet. If you're thinking, "that sounds horrible," you're right, with Frake-Waterfield going the ultra-cheap, quickie route with the production, hoping to cash-in on a beloved brand name with the least amount of moviemaking effort possible. "Blood and Honey" isn't silly or fun, it's a dreary viewing experience with slapdash technical credits and no discernable story, turning time in the Hundred Acre Wood into a punishing viewing experience.
