This was a film so damn awful that Jim Cummings (the voice of Tigger and Pooh) said that this was the biggest piece of crap he's ever seen and wants nothing to do with it.
It's a good thing that the Winnie the Pooh characters didn't talk because Jim Cummings said that if they used his voice without his permission for the film that the filmmakers would be in "really big trouble".
Burn, yes, but if the shoe fits. Also, does anyone else think this movie was solely made to ruin peoples childhood because the makers of this film are just cynical edgelords who can't handle anything that isn't grimdark, gritty, nasty and/or raunchy. Because that's what the laziness of this film sure implies.
Tbh a better plot would have been if Christopher Robin's home was in the wood and went missing as a child. Then the animals either hunt whoever took him or can't leave so stay in the woods becoming angry local cryptids that attack anyone who enters the wood at random. It's not super original but at least it's more to work with than 'becomes doctor and bails so angry.'
The all important question: Christopher Robin meets the animals in the woods during his childhood . . . But when he leaves they don’t know how to survive? How did they survive before that?! Did he teach them to talk and act like humans as a kid?
Supposedly their reason for this is because the director wanted them to be like real wild animals who become dependent on humans for food and struggle to adjust to hunting or foraging after the human stops feeding them.

When something is under public domain, no one wants to do something wholesome or creative: It always has to be a horror movie Like, if Winnie Pooh becomes public, i would do a stop motion movie about it.
In fairness, Sherlock Holmes is a public domain property which has had some entertaining productions. Horror movies can be quite quick+ cheap to church out which is why we get waste of spaces like this.
Horror movie or Porno,either way here honestly....Man,when did we ever decide to think about "HEY-what if we made a horror movie about this here,huh...?" and get away with it HONESTLY, I may ask..? And WHY, honestly..?
I was wondering if you'd cover this. Yes, it's cool that Winnie the Pooh has entered the public domain, but just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
Can't we all just agree that turning beloved childhood characters and innocent and cute things into monsters, villains, murderers, perverts etc. is stupid, lazy, and should stop? Because it needs to, it probably needed to stop yesterday!
If it's done/written right by the *_Right people here_* maybe-then yes..but,this..? I can agree with you mate,if it's done right..but you're not wrong here, mate...
First Spooky Rice's review and now this! Honestly, the Razzies giving this Worst Picture honors is cosmic justice... although that the filmmaker wants to attempt a Cinematic Universe is just totally insane!
I think this movie might've been at least watchable had it just taken advantage of its premise's absurdity and gone the dark comedy route. However, the fact that it plays itself as a straightforward horror film with no self awareness is what really hurts it.
6:05 I actually heard that it was because those characters weren't set to be in the public domain until two years later so those characters couldn't be used or referred to directly until the sequel.
Honestly, when this movie was first announced, I was a little excited. I too was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh from an early age and feel protective of his image, but I firmly believe that a good movie can be made out of any idea. If nothing else, this is a cautionary tale about making sure an idea doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
Judging by the reception of the sequel, it's clear the director learned from his mistakes and got a better writer, and cast, and made actual creature make-up to make the "crossbreed" idea look realistic and believable, instead of buying cheap Halloween masks of a bear and pig
I know I heard the synopsis for this movie before but I think I blocked it out because now I have so many questions: 1. Why didn’t they play on the theory that Winnie the Pooh and everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods were figments of Christopher Robins’ imagination? In fact, that’s what started the series in the first place. The author basing the characters on the games his little son used to play. 2. If they went feral (that’s what the idiot director meant. He meant feral.) because Christopher Robin stopped bringing them food… why didn’t they go feral before? It’s obvious they lived in the woods before he even found them. Are they trying to play on the fact that humans feeding wild animals will cause them to forget how to hunt or scavenge? They said he left to go to college but did they ever state *when* he met them? Was he a child? Where the heck were his parents where they had no idea what their CHILD was doing? 3. If they wanted to keep the idea of Pooh and Piglet kidnapping Christopher Robin to exact their revenge… why wait until after he graduated college? If they went feral, I’d imagine that they would have stalked him down that very night. 4. Why Eeyore? One would think they’d go after the most annoying character in Tigger or could they not get the clearance to use him? Again, they could have done so much more with Eeyore because he would be the most likely to go feral first and destroy the others. Heck, Piglet should have been the sacrifice because he was such a darn fraidy cat. 5. What was the point of the young people who stumbled upon the woods and the animals? They could have easily kept them out of the script and focused only on Christopher Robins survival. All in all, I really think the story would have been better if it was Christopher Robin who was the antagonist. Perhaps he could have been abusing the animals? I did mention that it would have been better if he suffered from a mental illness but perhaps that would have been a bad idea. Still… they actually could have done something… something other than this load of crap. Shame we are getting a sequel.
I feel so bad for a group of kids as their teacher showed them this movie thinking that it was going to be a regular Winnie the Pooh movie, to say they'll need therapy is an understatement.
How did they think that scary cover didn't hide a scary movie totally lost me! Same with the people who brought their kids to watch Sausage Party, ignoring the erected sausage on the poster and Seth Rogan being in the darn thing!
@@AnikMonette TBF, Seth Rogan has been in quite a few kids movies before making Sausage Party like the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Horton Hears a Who, I'm more surprised the studio behind Sausage Party (as well as The Boys and Invincible) would produce TMNT: Mutant Mayhem
@@AnikMonette I read an article about a teacher who was filling in for a class full of students who only spoke Spanish but she didn't speak so she put on a Spanish movie called the ABC's Of Death. The teacher was actually arrested and got 90 days in jail plus three years of probation.
“I just… uhh… what?” Was my first thought when they announced it. I’d hate to see what they do to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since that and Steamboat Willie are both next in the “10-Minute Horror Movie” genre. Oof. Anyway, I’m glad to see that you got to tear this piece of work a new one. Well done!
So instead of taking the character of Winnie the Pooh (or Edward Bear) and creating a whole new array of adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, they went for this abomination. Lovely [and yes, I was being sarcastic.]
The biggest problem with this movie is that it seems like a generic thriller with little to no reason to use the IP. Pooh and Piglet could be replaced by any other slashers and nothing would really change.
Not only is there the sequel (and planning a third one), but they're doing movies based on Bambi, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio, along with a massive crossover movie. Also, the best new Winnie the Pooh movie is Goodbye Christopher Robin, which is about A.A. Milne creating the series and the effects it had on his son, the real Christopher Robin Milne.
Well, at least the Great Ormond Street Hospital will still get some money from the Peter Pan-one... I hope. Probably are not happy about it, but what you're gonna do?
@@coolnerdlll6053 'Goodbye' is a straightforward biopic of AA Milne and his son but it's a pleasant watch and the father-son dynamic is very touching at times
Jack and Jill was better than this thing, and it had more effort and more creativity put in it. THAT"S NOT A RINGING ENDORSEMENT OF EITHER FILM BY THE WAY!
3AM. About to sleep. Here I am. Let's do this. And I will always state they missed the opportunity to have this as their tagline: Someone stole his honey! Now they're all gonna pay! Also Winnie's face looks like Xi Jingping
The one bit of credit, and this is a massive stretch because I hate the very concept of this thing, that I will give the team is they filmed in the real forest that became the Hundred Acre Wood, Ashdown Forest. Doesn't make it any less likely for Jim Cummings threatening to sue if they use the Sterling Holloway voice, though. And that man was on Splatterhouse and GTA.
At long last a British Film finally winning the Razzie for Worst Picture. Given a lot of terrible British Films not shown in America, it’s nice to see one win.
@@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYouI’ve heard of Sex Lives Of The Potato Men and Fat Slags. They’re overshadowed by classics like The Red Shoes, The Third Man, Brief Encounter and Kind Hearts And Coronets.

Excellent review as ever but, being a pedant , I have to point out that AA Milne’s surname rhymes with “Kiln” and not ….er …. Something that has an “nay” sound at the end. 😉
Piglet actually survived and returned in the sequel where we see Owl and Tigger help Pooh with his killings. As for Rabbit they said he’ll be in the crossover movie they have planned with Bambi, Peter Pan and Pinocchio
@@jadenbryant9283 that was definitely the first thing that needed to be done, retcon the first film into being an in-universe film based on the actual in-universe events, kinda like Road Warrior giving audiences a brief overview of the first film before going into the sequel
@@erichfiedler1481 agreed and also explain away stuff the cheap look the actors for Christopher being different and you know pooh and friends looking like real hybrids
I will concede that Blood and Honey 2 is actually pretty good. It treats this first movie as a movie within the movie, the storyline revolves around Chris this time and not on a bunch of random girls, it has better acting, direction, makeup design, its better.
Mostly because of my childhood and me still loving the Winnie the Pooh characters into adulthood, I think this is absolutely atrocious and definitely one of the worst Worst Picture winners of all time.
Gonna play devil's advocate for a second: the music was apparently done on a violin *actually used by bees as a hive* and still had the honeycomb inside. And the music is... pretty good! It's a cool attention to detail! Unfortunately everything else blows.
I don't blame the director of Blood and Honey for making a movie just because he could: Tammy and the T-Rex, for instance, was also made for the same reason. But Tammy and the T-Rex at least had a bonkers premise and some cheeky humour that made it so bad it's good; Blood and Honey, on the other hand, is just a generic slasher movie with bad animal masks, and it doesn't even do anything fun with the ip it got access to
8:20 "Why are you doing this? I did not want to leave you! It's not true, it's heffalump poo! Why are you doing this? I did not want to leave you! I did not! Oh hi Owl."
"Back to their animal origins..." Of walking on two feet? A bear and pig? Still wish you would have ignored this one being the winner and done the Exorcist Believer.
And I thought the Banana Splits Horror Film was probably the weirdest thing ever (depepnding on what People think of that Film). In fact, that might be something he would end up talking about very soon.
It was interesting that the 'Banana Splits' and 'Willy's wonder land' [with Nick Cage] mainly existed to cash in on 'Five Nights at Freddy's' but as that film took so long to materialise those projects came out years earlier.
I must admit... part of my inner child is dying knowing this exists. But then again, they don't do what College Humor and others have not done already. EDIT: Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if they just stole from some old Pooh-creepypasta, or the FNAF-games...
I live in the UK, Last year I was at a Convention in Nottingham and saw someone cosplaying as Pooh from this film, what was funnier to me was that kids were wanting selfies with him because they thought it was Pooh from the cartoons 😂
Corman was a legend, and a master of his craft who happened to make some shitty movies. Waterfield is a talentless edgelord making a movie that's obviously set in Hillbilly America...In Great Britain.
More like the modern-day Ed Wood, his filmmaking is so amateur that student directors can do better jobs than him and Ed Wood’s movies are at least entertaining.
And also Cocaine Bear! Also did you know Ted: The Series is getting a season 2?

The Ted series isn't worth a Peacock subscription. The fact that that horrid show is getting a second season (just like ANOTHER shitty show that had a second season greenlit before the first one premiered) makes me not want to live anymore.
I was wondering when you'd be reviewing this trash fire, and you didn't disappoint. The sequel seems to have been better received, so who knows if it will eventually end up in this show? A third installment is in development.
2:45 Don't say that! - You might wanna at least re-think that statement - Consider: Someone who issues those kind of threats because someone else made a horror movie, is bound to show up at you house and ask for said whatchamacallit and a spoon while wearing a maid outfit, combat boots and a clown mask.

@@thecinematicmind don't forget the other films in this Cinematic Universe being created involving Bambi (I'm pretty sure the idea of a Bambi horror film was done as a joke on Mad), Pinocchio (I know there's a horror film about a killer Pinocchio made a few decades ago, but I'm pretty sure it was made to ride off the success of Chucky's Cinematic killing spree), and Peter Pan before they all collide in Pooniverse: Monsters Unleashed

I think this is the first time I've seen you review one of the same movies as Decker Shadow, Sean. You probably don't know about him, but if you do, I suggest checking him out. The Summer of Steven Segal in particular is recommended. Decker's review of Blood and Honey was also both entertaining, and more sympathetic than yours; but to be fair to you, Decker reviews a lot of Asylum movies as well. He doesn't just review "so bad it's good," stuff; he actually covers movies which are considered literally too bad for mainstream consumption. Still, I love his channel, and his videos have got me through some difficult medical situations as well, so I definitely suggest giving him a watch.
If I had a nickel for every youtuber I follow that covered this movie in this format, I'd have three nickels, and aside from Sean here, the others are the aforementioned Decker Shado, and James A. Janise for The Kill Count
An overall problem with this film is that it doesn't even try to be something memorable, for better or worse. If you took out the animated intro, replaced Pooh and Piglet with generic slasher villains, gave Christopher Robin a different name and didn't refer to the forest as the Hundred Acre Wood, this would be the most generic slasher film ever. The filmmakers don't even try to do anything to make the Winnie the Pooh properties stand out here; they simply rely on the gimmick alone. And the victims are plain and even look similar at times. Also, apart from the kill sequence with the car being kind of tough to watch (intentionally so), every other kill's just generic as well, like what happened with See No Evil 2.
Great review. When I heard this movie was coming out I was sure it would be bad and I was right. Next time: A movie that makes me question if Sony can make a good comic book movie without spider man without making it a meme.
Not seen the movie - but due to the work i do i am a guest at a con signing in June - and the cast are there... they have top billing and I am there as a Sound designer for DW - this is not gonna go well lol.
One of my big takeaways from this movie was that if they just made it like a 15-20 min short horror film, it could’ve been fine. The director wanted to make it feature length though, so somehow an 80 min movie is mostly PADDING! Shots either linger waaaay too long, or sequences themselves just keep cutting back and forth so many times and nothing is progressing between said cuts. Remember the scene from Austin Powers where the guy is run over by the steamroller? That’s basically how them killing the girl with car is like, but it’s neither funny nor exciting

If it's done/written right by the *_Right people here_* maybe-then yes..but,this..? I can agree with you mate,if it's done right..but you're not wrong here, mate...
4:50 If they’d done that, Jim Cummings would have brought the hammer down on them.
The funniest thing about this movie is the fact that a school classroom actually showed this movie and scared the children.
First Spooky Rice's review and now this! Honestly, the Razzies giving this Worst Picture honors is cosmic justice... although that the filmmaker wants to attempt a Cinematic Universe is just totally insane!
I think this movie might've been at least watchable had it just taken advantage of its premise's absurdity and gone the dark comedy route. However, the fact that it plays itself as a straightforward horror film with no self awareness is what really hurts it.
6:05 I actually heard that it was because those characters weren't set to be in the public domain until two years later so those characters couldn't be used or referred to directly until the sequel.
Honestly, when this movie was first announced, I was a little excited. I too was obsessed with Winnie the Pooh from an early age and feel protective of his image, but I firmly believe that a good movie can be made out of any idea. If nothing else, this is a cautionary tale about making sure an idea doesn't end up in the wrong hands.
Judging by the reception of the sequel, it's clear the director learned from his mistakes and got a better writer, and cast, and made actual creature make-up to make the "crossbreed" idea look realistic and believable, instead of buying cheap Halloween masks of a bear and pig
This is something some edgy teen makes to show how they're an adult and not a kid anymore and they regret making in a few years
I know I heard the synopsis for this movie before but I think I blocked it out because now I have so many questions:
1. Why didn’t they play on the theory that Winnie the Pooh and everyone in the Hundred Acre Woods were figments of Christopher Robins’ imagination? In fact, that’s what started the series in the first place. The author basing the characters on the games his little son used to play.
2. If they went feral (that’s what the idiot director meant. He meant feral.) because Christopher Robin stopped bringing them food… why didn’t they go feral before? It’s obvious they lived in the woods before he even found them. Are they trying to play on the fact that humans feeding wild animals will cause them to forget how to hunt or scavenge? They said he left to go to college but did they ever state *when* he met them? Was he a child? Where the heck were his parents where they had no idea what their CHILD was doing?
3. If they wanted to keep the idea of Pooh and Piglet kidnapping Christopher Robin to exact their revenge… why wait until after he graduated college? If they went feral, I’d imagine that they would have stalked him down that very night.
4. Why Eeyore? One would think they’d go after the most annoying character in Tigger or could they not get the clearance to use him? Again, they could have done so much more with Eeyore because he would be the most likely to go feral first and destroy the others. Heck, Piglet should have been the sacrifice because he was such a darn fraidy cat.
5. What was the point of the young people who stumbled upon the woods and the animals? They could have easily kept them out of the script and focused only on Christopher Robins survival.
All in all, I really think the story would have been better if it was Christopher Robin who was the antagonist. Perhaps he could have been abusing the animals? I did mention that it would have been better if he suffered from a mental illness but perhaps that would have been a bad idea. Still… they actually could have done something… something other than this load of crap. Shame we are getting a sequel.
I feel so bad for a group of kids as their teacher showed them this movie thinking that it was going to be a regular Winnie the Pooh movie, to say they'll need therapy is an understatement.
I blame the school, they forbade the showing of Strange World because one of the leads is gay, but THIS gets a free pass, must be Floriduh
@@erichfiedler1481 Agreed.
How did they think that scary cover didn't hide a scary movie totally lost me!
Same with the people who brought their kids to watch Sausage Party, ignoring the erected sausage on the poster and Seth Rogan being in the darn thing!
@@AnikMonette TBF, Seth Rogan has been in quite a few kids movies before making Sausage Party like the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Horton Hears a Who, I'm more surprised the studio behind Sausage Party (as well as The Boys and Invincible) would produce TMNT: Mutant Mayhem
@@AnikMonette I read an article about a teacher who was filling in for a class full of students who only spoke Spanish but she didn't speak so she put on a Spanish movie called the ABC's Of Death. The teacher was actually arrested and got 90 days in jail plus three years of probation.
“I just… uhh… what?” Was my first thought when they announced it. I’d hate to see what they do to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit since that and Steamboat Willie are both next in the “10-Minute Horror Movie” genre. Oof.
Anyway, I’m glad to see that you got to tear this piece of work a new one. Well done!
I do have hope in the Oswald movie, the steamboat Willie movies…look terrible just terrible
"Next time: It's Morbin time!" My god, Sean's finally going to review Madame Web!
So instead of taking the character of Winnie the Pooh (or Edward Bear) and creating a whole new array of adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, they went for this abomination. Lovely [and yes, I was being sarcastic.]
The biggest problem with this movie is that it seems like a generic thriller with little to no reason to use the IP. Pooh and Piglet could be replaced by any other slashers and nothing would really change.
Commenting for engagement. Its always good to see content from our favorite Smeghead
Not only is there the sequel (and planning a third one), but they're doing movies based on Bambi, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio, along with a massive crossover movie.
Also, the best new Winnie the Pooh movie is Goodbye Christopher Robin, which is about A.A. Milne creating the series and the effects it had on his son, the real Christopher Robin Milne.
Well, at least the Great Ormond Street Hospital will still get some money from the Peter Pan-one... I hope. Probably are not happy about it, but what you're gonna do?
I learned that they will also make horror movies for Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
I haven't seen Goodbye Christopher Robin, but I have my doubts about it topping Disney's Christopher Robin, which is an underrated masterpiece.
@@coolnerdlll6053 'Goodbye' is a straightforward biopic of AA Milne and his son but it's a pleasant watch and the father-son dynamic is very touching at times
@@jamesatkinsonja I'll probably get to it eventually. It sounds like the middle part of a trilogy with Finding Neverland and Tolkien.
The People who made this are a Bunch of Woozles!
Seems like they did Eeyore a favor tbh, so he didn't have to be in this...
Oh bother.... silly ol director
The movie Deliverance meets the Hundred Acre Woods.
Every single Friday the 13th movie ever made is better than this thing.
Jack and Jill was better than this thing, and it had more effort and more creativity put in it. THAT"S NOT A RINGING ENDORSEMENT OF EITHER FILM BY THE WAY!
3AM. About to sleep. Here I am. Let's do this.
And I will always state they missed the opportunity to have this as their tagline: Someone stole his honey! Now they're all gonna pay!
Also Winnie's face looks like Xi Jingping
The one bit of credit, and this is a massive stretch because I hate the very concept of this thing, that I will give the team is they filmed in the real forest that became the Hundred Acre Wood, Ashdown Forest.
Doesn't make it any less likely for Jim Cummings threatening to sue if they use the Sterling Holloway voice, though. And that man was on Splatterhouse and GTA.
At long last a British Film finally winning the Razzie for Worst Picture. Given a lot of terrible British Films not shown in America, it’s nice to see one win.
I'm so proud that us Brits are finally recognised for our capability to make Bad Movies.
USA were very lucky to miss out on 'Keith Lemon the film', 'Carry on Columbus;, 'Run for your wife' etc.
@@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYouI’ve heard of Sex Lives Of The Potato Men and Fat Slags. They’re overshadowed by classics like The Red Shoes, The Third Man, Brief Encounter and Kind Hearts And Coronets.
@@WalkmanWillWalkAllOverYou Yass!!
Not to mention the wild rabbit hole of awful British straight to dvd horror movies, a lot of them now sharing the same actors and if Freddie’s Fridays is anything to go by, Jagged Edge might be on their way to become the British Equivalent of the Asylum
8:43 that's insulting Spirit Halloween!!!
0:00-
Sterling Holloway/Hal Smith/Jim Cummings/Leon Chen as Winnie the Pooh Bear and as well as Rotten Tomatoes: Oh, bother.

“Tommy Wiseau is a better director than you.”
Clip from Friday: DAAAAAAAAMN!!
I've been watching your channel for years now and I really wish you had more subscribers because everything you do is so well written. I'm so glad you're keeping it up, may a million subscribers find you someday!
Excellent review as ever but, being a pedant , I have to point out that AA Milne’s surname rhymes with “Kiln” and not ….er …. Something that has an “nay” sound at the end. 😉
Piglet actually survived and returned in the sequel where we see Owl and Tigger help Pooh with his killings. As for Rabbit they said he’ll be in the crossover movie they have planned with Bambi, Peter Pan and Pinocchio
Technical the sequel doesn't follow the continuity of the first
@@ForrestFox626 so more a sequel in name only sort of thing
@@ForrestFox626yeah they retconned the movie as being an in-universe movie
@@jadenbryant9283 that was definitely the first thing that needed to be done, retcon the first film into being an in-universe film based on the actual in-universe events, kinda like Road Warrior giving audiences a brief overview of the first film before going into the sequel
@@erichfiedler1481 agreed and also explain away stuff the cheap look the actors for Christopher being different and you know pooh and friends looking like real hybrids
And every year, more and more of these classic IPs become available. God Help Us.......
Oh, bother!
15:50 YESSSSSSSS!
(Insert Matt Smith dancing)
I will concede that Blood and Honey 2 is actually pretty good. It treats this first movie as a movie within the movie, the storyline revolves around Chris this time and not on a bunch of random girls, it has better acting, direction, makeup design, its better.
Yeah it's also shot better and has an actual story
Well, I don’t mind if the sequel turns out to be a decent movie.
I use my Peacock subscription to keep up with Chucky the TV series.
Oh boy 3 AM!
Patrick: Here's a Krabby Patty!
That dead horse is more decomposed than the one that Smeghead is gonna review next
Mostly because of my childhood and me still loving the Winnie the Pooh characters into adulthood, I think this is absolutely atrocious and definitely one of the worst Worst Picture winners of all time.
Rhys actually seems like a good dude in interviews I've seen with him.
"Pooh!" said Piglet, "someone has made a no-budget horror film about us where we eat Eeyore and terrorize Christopher Robin!"
"Oh, bother," said Pooh.
Gonna play devil's advocate for a second: the music was apparently done on a violin *actually used by bees as a hive* and still had the honeycomb inside. And the music is... pretty good! It's a cool attention to detail! Unfortunately everything else blows.
Oh bother!
I don't blame the director of Blood and Honey for making a movie just because he could: Tammy and the T-Rex, for instance, was also made for the same reason. But Tammy and the T-Rex at least had a bonkers premise and some cheeky humour that made it so bad it's good; Blood and Honey, on the other hand, is just a generic slasher movie with bad animal masks, and it doesn't even do anything fun with the ip it got access to
This movie was all over the place that i couldn't enjoy it not even in a 'So Bad it's Hilarious' way.
apparently Rhys Frake-Waterfield also wants to do a TMNT movie.
8:20 "Why are you doing this? I did not want to leave you! It's not true, it's heffalump poo! Why are you doing this? I did not want to leave you! I did not! Oh hi Owl."
"Back to their animal origins..." Of walking on two feet? A bear and pig?
Still wish you would have ignored this one being the winner and done the Exorcist Believer.
And I thought the Banana Splits Horror Film was probably the weirdest thing ever (depepnding on what People think of that Film).
In fact, that might be something he would end up talking about very soon.
It was interesting that the 'Banana Splits' and 'Willy's wonder land' [with Nick Cage] mainly existed to cash in on 'Five Nights at Freddy's' but as that film took so long to materialise those projects came out years earlier.
@@jamesatkinsonja I was just about to say how those Ripped-Off The FNaF Movie BEFORE it existed.
Weird and ironic, right?
I must admit... part of my inner child is dying knowing this exists.
But then again, they don't do what College Humor and others have not done already.
EDIT: Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if they just stole from some old Pooh-creepypasta, or the FNAF-games...
I live in the UK, Last year I was at a Convention in Nottingham and saw someone cosplaying as Pooh from this film, what was funnier to me was that kids were wanting selfies with him because they thought it was Pooh from the cartoons 😂
Rhys Frake-Waterfield is the modern-day Roger Corman. However, the late producer/ director still managed to make a entertaining film.
Corman was a legend, and a master of his craft who happened to make some shitty movies. Waterfield is a talentless edgelord making a movie that's obviously set in Hillbilly America...In Great Britain.
More like the modern-day Ed Wood, his filmmaking is so amateur that student directors can do better jobs than him and Ed Wood’s movies are at least entertaining.
@@socklock1957 Neil Breen is the modern Ed Wood given he's made several low budget films and never seems to improve
I can't believe that bear was driving!
What makes peacock worth it? Well Ironically another bear! The ted series!
And also Cocaine Bear! Also did you know Ted: The Series is getting a season 2?
The Ted series isn't worth a Peacock subscription. The fact that that horrid show is getting a second season (just like ANOTHER shitty show that had a second season greenlit before the first one premiered) makes me not want to live anymore.
I was wondering when you'd be reviewing this trash fire, and you didn't disappoint. The sequel seems to have been better received, so who knows if it will eventually end up in this show? A third installment is in development.
I’m sure it will eventually
12:19 NOT a reference I remotely expected, but bravo!
2:45 Don't say that! - You might wanna at least re-think that statement - Consider: Someone who issues those kind of threats because someone else made a horror movie, is bound to show up at you house and ask for said whatchamacallit and a spoon while wearing a maid outfit, combat boots and a clown mask.
That's oddly specific.
@@erichfiedler1481No. Oddly specific would be - "wearing a size XL maid outfit, size 13 combat boots and a clown mask."
@@simonfrederiksen104 sounds like what you just said with extra detail
@@erichfiedler1481 The first was specific, the second was oddly specific.
I've really missed this series!
A Winnie the Pooh slasher is the laziest edgelord idea that you could come up with.
This movie is a disgrace to the A.A. Milne Books and the Disney Shorts / 1977 Film. We adore the Disney Winnie the Pooh movies and shows a lot.
of all the things that can turn into a horror movie and it’s Winnie the Pooh????
That this movie exists in the first place is an insult to our childhood. And there's a bloody SEQUEL!!
[Yes I said that. I am not ashamed.]
I never saw this. I don't WANT to see this!!
and now there’s a third one coming.
@@thecinematicmindALREADY? It hasn't even been a year yet
@@thecinematicmind don't forget the other films in this Cinematic Universe being created involving Bambi (I'm pretty sure the idea of a Bambi horror film was done as a joke on Mad), Pinocchio (I know there's a horror film about a killer Pinocchio made a few decades ago, but I'm pretty sure it was made to ride off the success of Chucky's Cinematic killing spree), and Peter Pan before they all collide in Pooniverse: Monsters Unleashed
@@psychonautmaddy7409 Look, I'm STILL not sure why there's a slasher movie WITH THE BANANA SPLITS!! And they don't have the excuse of being in the public domain!!
@@erichfiedler1481wait what?😅
My wife is begging to me to watch this and I don't want to! 😭 We're a 300+ horror films a year house, so she wants to see it and I know it will be bad. Ugh. Help me lol
I think this is the first time I've seen you review one of the same movies as Decker Shadow, Sean. You probably don't know about him, but if you do, I suggest checking him out. The Summer of Steven Segal in particular is recommended. Decker's review of Blood and Honey was also both entertaining, and more sympathetic than yours; but to be fair to you, Decker reviews a lot of Asylum movies as well. He doesn't just review "so bad it's good," stuff; he actually covers movies which are considered literally too bad for mainstream consumption. Still, I love his channel, and his videos have got me through some difficult medical situations as well, so I definitely suggest giving him a watch.
If I had a nickel for every youtuber I follow that covered this movie in this format, I'd have three nickels, and aside from Sean here, the others are the aforementioned Decker Shado, and James A. Janise for The Kill Count
10:53 so is David A. Prior🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooh I’m looking forward to what’s next! From one bad horror movie to another.
An overall problem with this film is that it doesn't even try to be something memorable, for better or worse. If you took out the animated intro, replaced Pooh and Piglet with generic slasher villains, gave Christopher Robin a different name and didn't refer to the forest as the Hundred Acre Wood, this would be the most generic slasher film ever. The filmmakers don't even try to do anything to make the Winnie the Pooh properties stand out here; they simply rely on the gimmick alone. And the victims are plain and even look similar at times. Also, apart from the kill sequence with the car being kind of tough to watch (intentionally so), every other kill's just generic as well, like what happened with See No Evil 2.
Oh no
Hell yes! Welcome back brother🖤🤘
4:36 At least Winne the Pooh Blood and Honey's creators didn't use AI voices. Yet
I can bear-ly believe it.
Great review. When I heard this movie was coming out I was sure it would be bad and I was right.
Next time: A movie that makes me question if Sony can make a good comic book movie without spider man without making it a meme.
Not seen the movie - but due to the work i do i am a guest at a con signing in June - and the cast are there... they have top billing and I am there as a Sound designer for DW - this is not gonna go well lol.
Hey now Peacock has Poker Face and Killin’ It; that’s about it but still!
These horror retellings of childrens material are done purely out of spite.
that outro
just yes
One of my big takeaways from this movie was that if they just made it like a 15-20 min short horror film, it could’ve been fine. The director wanted to make it feature length though, so somehow an 80 min movie is mostly PADDING! Shots either linger waaaay too long, or sequences themselves just keep cutting back and forth so many times and nothing is progressing between said cuts. Remember the scene from Austin Powers where the guy is run over by the steamroller? That’s basically how them killing the girl with car is like, but it’s neither funny nor exciting
