Violent, disgusting ‘Winnie the Pooh’ horror film trailer drops
That silly old bear has traded his honey pot for a machete.
The trailer for the wild new horror movie inspired by the “Winnie the Pooh” children’s books, “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey,” dropped Wednesday. And whoaaa bother!
In the film, Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) has gone to college — a la Andy in “Toy Story 3” — and returns with his girlfriend only to discover his old pals Pooh (Craig David Dowsett) and Piglet (Chris Cordell) from the 100 Acre Woods have turned feral and murderous.
We witness the sweet animals kill for fun.
Piglet wields an ax as he wades through an indoor swimming pool and decapitates a renter staying in a house in the forest.
Pooh chloroforms a bikini-clad woman in a hot tub.
There’s a grave marked “Eeyore RIP.”
A sobbing Christopher later shouts at Pooh in the sadistic movie clip, “We used to be friends! Why are you doing this? I never would have left you — I swear!”
His childhood, and ours, is dead.
The film, which will be released later this year, created a huge online stir when demented stills were revealed in May. Now, both fans of scare and bear can see the warped project is 100% real.
Besides Pooh morphing into a death machine, other aspects of “Blood and Honey” will be unfamiliar to longtime fans of the Disney films and TV series. Although author AA Milne’s characters and stories entered the public domain five months ago, many aspects of the Disney version, which “Blood and Honey” have nothing to do with, are still under copyright.
“We’ve tried to be extremely careful,” director Rhys Waterfield told Variety. “We knew there was this line between that, and we knew what their copyright was and what they’ve done. So we did as much as we could to make sure [the film] was only based on the 1926 version of it.”
As for a release date, the trailer only says, “coming soon.”
