Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is a 2023 British independent slasher film written, directed, and produced by Rhys Frake-Waterfield. It serves as a horror retelling of A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard's Winnie-the-Pooh books and stars Craig David Dowsett as Winnie-the-Pooh and Chris Cordell as Piglet, with Amber Doig-Thorne, Nikolai Leon, Maria Taylor, Natasha Rose Mills, and Danielle Ronald in supporting roles. It follows Pooh and Piglet who have become feral and bloodthirsty murderers, as they terrorise a group of young university women and Christopher Robin when he returns to the Hundred Acre Wood many years later after leaving for college.
The film was first announced on 24 May 2022, when it drew widespread attention due to its premise involving a character that was a beloved childhood icon, and it was met with divided reactions. It was produced by Jagged Edge Productions in association with ITN Studios and went into development after the 1926 Winnie-the-Pooh book entered the public domain in the United States on 1 January 2022. The film was shot on a $100,000 budget in 10 days in the Ashdown Forest of East Sussex, England, which serves as inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood, the setting for the stories.
The film was originally set for a nationwide one-night event, but there was a spike in online popularity so the producers expanded it to a major worldwide theatrical release. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey premiered in Mexico on 26 January 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on 15 February 2023 and in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2023.[5][6] The film has received negative reviews from critics for its low budget and production values, as well as a lack of a coherent story and creativity, but has been commercially successful, grossing over $5 million worldwide against its small budget.[7]
Plot
Many years ago, a young Christopher Robin met and befriended a group of anthropomorphic animals – Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, and Winnie-the-Pooh – in the Hundred Acre Wood, and would bring them food. However, when Christopher went to college to become a doctor, he stopped visiting. Without Christopher to feed or guide them, and with the arrival of winter, the animals went into extreme starvation and were forced to kill and eat Eeyore, which traumatised them so much that they developed a hatred for humanity, particularly towards Christopher for leaving them to suffer. They vowed to renounce their humanity, return to their feral instincts, and never speak again.
Five years later, Christopher, now an adult, returns to the Hundred Acre Wood, accompanied by his fiancée, Mary, to reunite with his old friends, but finds the place in a desolate state. Despite Mary's warnings to leave, Christopher investigates further, but Piglet suddenly appears and fatally strangles Mary with a chain. Horrified, Christopher attempts to escape, but Pooh and Piglet corner him, drag him back into the woods, and burn Mary’s corpse. Upon dragging him to a cave, they show him Eeyore's skeletal remains.
Sometime later, a group of university students – Maria, Jessica, Alice, Zoe, and Lara – rent a cabin in the Hundred Acre Wood as suggested by Maria's therapist, so she can move on from a traumatic stalking experience. Tina, another of Maria's friends, gets lost en route to the cabin, and Pooh chases her into an abandoned factory, where he grinds her up with a woodchipper. Later, in his treehouse, Pooh, who has held Christopher prisoner, brutally whips him with Eeyore's tail and places Mary's skeletal remains in a corner to mentally torture him, before showering Christopher in her blood.
As night falls, Pooh and Piglet encounter the cabin. They ambush and seize Lara (who was in the hot tub), carrying her to the road where Piglet pins her down while Pooh slowly drives a car onto Lara's head, crushing her skull. Having heard the commotion, Maria and Jessica go outside to investigate, only to find Lara's corpse, retreating to the cabin to warn Alice and Zoe. The girls are attacked by Pooh and are separated. Piglet enters, knocking Alice unconscious, and kills Zoe by smashing her face with a sledgehammer in the swimming pool. Maria and Jessica watch as Pooh and Piglet abduct Alice and decide to follow them into the woods to rescue her.
In Pooh's treehouse, Maria and Jessica free Alice, Christopher, and another hostage named Charlene, whose husband Darrel has already been murdered by Piglet. Seeking revenge after Piglet severely scarred her face, Charlene summons Piglet to kill him, but Pooh subdues her, pours honey on her, and Piglet mauls her to death. Pooh chases Maria and Jessica into the woods, but Alice stays behind to subdue Piglet from behind, subsequently chaining him up and then fatally bludgeoning him with his own sledgehammer. Pooh, who heard Piglet's screams, ambushes and fatally impales Alice with a knife to a wall through her open mouth.
Maria and Jessica run to the road, where they stop a car driven by four local country men – Logan, Tucker, John, and Colt – to seek help. Despite the men's attempts to take him down, Pooh easily kills them individually until Maria tries to run him over with the car. Pooh mounts the car and she crashes into a tree, losing consciousness. Upon awakening, she witnesses Pooh decapitate Jessica. Pooh attempts to kill Maria until Christopher appears driving another car, crushing Pooh between the two cars and apparently killing him.
Christopher tries to help Maria, but Pooh, having barely survived, appears and grabs her, holding her at knifepoint. Christopher pleads with Pooh, promising to spend the rest of his life in the Hundred Acre Wood with him. Pooh hesitates at first, but then breaks his vow of silence to tell Christopher "You left", before slashing Maria's throat. After watching her die in his arms, a traumatised Christopher, realising his former childhood friend is now beyond help, flees from the woods while Pooh repeatedly stabs Maria's corpse in frustration.

Development

On 27 May 2022, entertainment website IGN reported that a Winnie-the-Pooh-based horror film adaptation was in development.[8] The characters' rights had been owned by The Walt Disney Company since 1966 and, while Disney retains exclusive rights to the depictions of these characters from their own franchise, the first Winnie-the-Pooh book went into the public domain in the US on 1 January 2022.[9] After the copyright lapsed, Rhys Frake-Waterfield began development on Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey the same year,[9] with the film marking his directorial debut.[10] Speaking to Variety, Frake-Waterfield described the plot as both Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet turning into homicidal maniacs after Christopher Robin leaves them for college. He stated:
Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he's not [given] them food, it's made Pooh and Piglet's life quite difficult... Because they've had to fend for themselves so much, they've essentially become feral. So they've gone back to their animal roots. They're no longer tame: they're like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.[11]
The masks used for Pooh and Piglet in the film were created by the American prosthetic-mask manufacturing company Immortal Masks, which actually did the Winnie-the-Pooh-styled masks before the 1926 book entered the public domain.[12]
Filming
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Ashdown_Forest_View.jpg/200px-Ashdown_Forest_View.jpg)
Principal photography for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey began in April 2022, with filming taking place in the Ashdown Forest of East Sussex, England over a period of 10 days.[13][2] Jagged Edge Productions produced the film in collaboration with ITN Studios.[14] Frake-Waterfield did outfit Pooh with a red shirt, but was careful to avoid other iconic elements from Disney's depictions that could pose a copyright issue.[9]
After the increased popularity of the film, ITN gave the film an increased budget, leading to several days of reshoots. This would lead to the film being the most expensive film Waterfield ever directed and the most expensive film produced by ITN, with a budget of under $100,000.[15][2]
Music
In July 2022, American composer Andrew Scott Bell was announced as a provider for the score.[16][17] On 14 July 2022, Bell uploaded a video to YouTube titled "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood, Honey, and Violins" that documented how he drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco, with his manager Mike Rosen, to collect a honeycomb-filled violin from an experimental luthier to compose the film's soundtrack.[18] In an interview with Dread Central, Bell explains how he got involved with the production of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey upon hearing about the film after it went viral upon the announcement. He said:
Back in late May, a day or so before the film went massively viral, I started seeing some online chatter about a Winnie the Pooh horror movie. I remember looking it up on IMDb and finding the director Rhys Frake-Waterfield on Instagram where his story had a screenshot of a person's comment saying something to the effect of "your movie is ruining our childhoods". His reaction was, "that's what I'm trying to do, ruin everyone's childhood".[19]
Release
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was originally planned to be released in October 2022, but the increased publicity and reshoots motivated the change to a 2023 cinema release.[15] The film premiered in Mexico on 26 January 2023 and was released by Cinemex.[20] It was originally set to be released for a one-day event across cinemas in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada on 15 February 2023, with Fathom Events and Altitude Film Distribution acquiring the rights to release it in their respective countries.[21] In January 2023, it was announced that the film had been given an expanded cinema release starting on 15 February in the United States.[22][23] The film was then released in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2023.[24] For one week, the film was re-released in cinemas in the United States on 17 March 2023.[25] A Hong Kong release was canceled due to purported technical glitches, but the film may have been censored due to Internet memes comparing Winnie-the-Pooh to CCP general secretary Xi Jinping;[26] Christopher Robin was banned in 2018 for that reason.[27]
Marketing
After the film's announcement, Salon writer Kelly McClure wrote the film is "a perfect example of the wrong that could come from a creative work slipping into public domain." She continued, calling the film a "horrific take" on Winnie-the-Pooh, also stating "you've got the makings of a dark and twisted cult classic."[28] Jon Mendelsohn, writing for Collider, called the film images "nightmare fuel" and the concept "extremely bizarre" while noting "the internet is freaking out."[29] Rotem Rusak, writing for Nerdist, wrote, "Seeing the iconic bear reimagined as a nightmarish slasher monster speaks to a delightfully imaginative spirit that really inspires us."[30] Justin Carter of Gizmodo wrote:
The appeal of Blood and Honey will depend entirely on if you're willing to meet the movie halfway on its premise, and aren't immediately turned off by the idea of children's characters being turned into murderers or having some dark, edgy backstory. The internet was filled with that sort of thing just a decade or so ago, and this feels like it's very much pulling from that same cloth.[31]
Katarina Feder of Artnet wrote, "...you can't buy publicity like the kind they've had and something tells me that this indie passion project will find its funding, bringing to life the director's unique ideas about murdering women in bikinis."[32]
Home video
In the United Kingdom, collector's edition was released on Blu-ray on April 5, 2023.[33] A more basic release came out on April 14, 2023.
It got a digital release on Amazon Prime in the United States on April 11, 2023.[34]
Reception
Box office
As of 19 April 2023[update], Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey has grossed $2 million in the United States and Canada, and $3 million in other territories, including over $1 million in Mexico, for a worldwide total of $5.2 million.[35][3][4]
Critical response
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 3% of 58 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 2.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "Oh, bother."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 16 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike".[37]
Christian Zilko of IndieWire scored the film a grade C+, criticising the film's screenplay as an incoherent mess as well as the film's low production values.[38] Awarding the film a similar score, Luke Thompson of the The A.V. Club offered similar criticism towards the cheap production values and lack of a coherent story, while also noting that the film fulfills its promise of a slasher film based on a beloved children's book.[39] Polygon's Tasha Robinson felt that certain elements such as the gore and inherent grotesqueness of the material worked well, but added that the film's poor dialogue, lack of humour, and connection to its basic source material ruined an interesting premise.[40]
Dennis Harvey of Variety was highly critical of the film for its lack of humour, poor acting, and incoherent screenplay, summarising that the film "fail[ed] to meet even the most basic expectations set up by its conceptual gimmick".[41] In his review for Rue Morgue, Michael Gingold felt that the film lacked any sort of wit or imagination to successfully implement upon its premise; Gingold additionally pointed out the "drab" cinematography, absence of characterisation for its title villain, and messy production only served to make the film easily forgettable.[42] Rating the film 1.5 out of 4 stars, Nick Allen from RogerEbert.com wrote that it failed as both a comedy and a horror film, noting the poorly lit scenes in the film made it hard to decipher what was happening on screen, while echoing other critics' sentiments on the writing and lack of interesting characters.[43]
Future
Sequel
In June 2022, Frake-Waterfield expressed interest in creating a sequel that is currently titled Winnie-The-Pooh 2 and wants to "ramp it up even more and go even crazier and go even more extreme".[44] In November 2022, he announced that a sequel was in development with Frake-Waterfield returning as director and writer, on a budget "five times" larger than the previous installment. The sequel is expected to begin filming in late 2023,[45] with an anticipated release date of February 2024.[2]
Other projects
Alongside the announcement of a sequel, two other horror films were announced: Bambi: The Reckoning and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare based on Bambi, a Life in the Woods and Peter Pan.[46][47][48] In February 2023, Frake-Waterfield announced that the various projects take place in the same shared continuity franchise, while Jagged Edge Productions intends to eventually have crossovers featuring the characters.[49] Frake-Waterfield also expressed interest in making films about Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as well as copyrighted franchises such as Teletubbies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.[50][51]
