Ok, I guess.. they certainly got some people's attention, but also they don't know if anyone is actually gonna like it yet. And judging from the trailers, I kinda doubt it.

Speaking with Variety, Jeffrey revealed that he has already begun prepping his horror take on the Disney classic, describing the project as “Jurassic Park meets Bambi.” Which sounds like the cinematic combination we never knew we needed.

Like that Bambi vs Godzilla short I remember from a million years ago?

Not sure how I avoided the trailer this long... But wow. It looks absolutely awful. Pretty much what I expected. I get they aren't reaching for the Moon here. It is what it is. Good for them for working the Hype Train.

Well I finally saw Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey. Turns out I didn't mind it at all. Not that good, but not bad either. I was intrigued by the concept of how Christopher Robin abandoned Pooh and his friends for plans to go to medical school, thus turning the woodland creatures into homicidal killers. The problem was it ended up following the typical pattern of being just a standard slasher movie. But there are some creatively gory kills and the cinematography was nicely done.
5.5/10
Anybody else see this yet? Thoughts?

The problem was it ended up following the typical pattern of being just a standard slasher movie. But there are some creatively gory kills and the cinematography was nicely done. 5.5/10 Anybody else see this yet? Thoughts? Saw it over the weekend. It took me two sittings to finish it. I thought it was quite bad. The problem is that the opening animated sequence is actually pretty fun and clever. If the rest of the movie had even an ounce of that kind of wit then the whole thing would have been worth the time spent on it... but it wasn't. It just becomes a bunch of dull character getting killed in dull ways. You're right that the gore effects aren't terrible, and the cinematography isn't absolutely terrible. It's not good, but the people making this do know how to light a shot and they're working with capable equipment, but it's certainly not well directed. And there effectively isn't a script. Nothing that happens beyond the first few minutes was given any thought whatsoever. Also, I believe this was shot in the UK, but all of the accents are bad. I couldn't tell if some of the performers were Americans trying to sound British or Brits trying to sound American. There's a scene towards the end where a truck full of stereotypes see the girls running away from Pooh. They are all Alabama hillbillies, plus one LA Cholo, but they seem to be trying and failing to employ Northern English accents. It's really weird. And then it just ends and you're left saying, 'wait... what? That's the ending?' I give them some credit for coming up with an idea and a title that cought the attention of a lot of people. That's a good starting point for an exploitation movie. But then they did nothing with it. It has a very clearly low budget so you have to excuse some things, but Pigelt and Pooh are just guys wearing rubber masks. They look terrible. I don't expect a movie like this to have the effects budget of Cocaine Bear, but a little bit more ingenuity in creating the look of the villains, and a little bit more of that movie's sense of ludicrous, conceptual fun would have gone a long way towards making thos movie watchable. But it 'bearly' (sorry) is. Taking this movie seriously was one of its biggest mistakes. Even if the joke was to play it straight the movie has to be in on the joke, but it feels like it's being serious, and that's just no fun.

Those Alabama rednecks must have been played by amateurs. A professionally trained actor would be able to pull off a decent accent. Many other Brits have done flawless American accents in movies and TV shows. Yeah make-up effects weren't that great. It's been said they only costed $770. Now, the sequel will have a bigger budget and reportedly make-up effects are $20,000. Here's a peek at the new character design. Notice how angry and hateful Pooh is, lol!

Well, it does look less like a mask and more like makeup, but it also still doesn't look like a bear and looks nothing like the first movie's version. I'll be curious to see if anybody cares the second time around. Or if anyone cares about these other ones.

There are movies where a certain concept or joke is repeated rather than developed, to the point where you can watch just one scene and feel like it's enough. WINNIE-THE-POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY is the rare case where you don't even have to watch the movie. That mixture of surprise and laughter caused by the idea of turning the beloved characters created by A.A. Milne into serial killers is something you can experience just by reading/listening to the premise. I would argue that watching the movie ruins it, because it’s supposed to be about the contrast between how cute the characters were and how evil they are now. That can’t happen if the audience isn’t constantly aware that the villains on the screen are the title character and his friend Piglet. I don’t think I would’ve guessed if I saw a photo of them out of context. They look more like a mouse and a boar. Speaking of, did you think that the characters were two guys in disguise (just like the actors)? Nope. In-universe, those are supposed to be their real heads, with no explanation as to why their faces look frozen most of the time or as to why it never crosses the humans’ minds that these are masks (especially considering that their hands look normal). By the standards of a production with such a low budget, the cinematography is quite decent, at least in certain scenes. Unfortunately, those shots and those camera movements can’t overcome the generic plot, the boring characters, the laughable dialogue and the abrupt ending. It all amounts to lame torture porn. Without getting into spoilers, there’s a scene where a woman tells her friends a story in which she woke up in the middle of the night and she saw a man who had broken into her house just as he was trying to undress her. The music score suggests that the viewer should feel creeped out, but the pacing and the way it’s filmed feels fetishistic. Am I looking too much into it? You can’t blame me, since it’s not the only instance where something… Hmmm… Questionable happens. You see, there’s another scene where Pooh grabs a woman, he rips her shirt off and he immediately kills her. What was the point of the nudity (she wasn't wearing a bra) in this context if he wasn't going to try to rape her?
1/10
