The good news about Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is that if you have fond memories of Winnie the Pooh from childhood, this movie probably won’t ruin those memories for you, as there is not much in this movie that ties it into Winnie the Pooh, other than the names. Unfortunately, Blood and Honey needed more than just names to hold it all together, because all it is is a subpar slasher film with a killer in a Winnie the Pooh mask.
The film opens with an animated prologue, explaining that Christopher Robin befriended Owl, Piglet, Eeyore, and of course, Winnie the Pooh, in 100 Acre Wood. He was the animals’ best friend, and he provided for them… until he went away to college to become a doctor. In that time, food became scarce and Pooh and Piglet resorted to eating Eeyore to survive. (Owl is never mentioned again, nor are any of the other creatures.) This apparently caused Pooh and Piglet to become feral, savage, and psychopathic.
When Christopher Robin returns five years later to introduce his new wife, Mary, to his animal friends, they are in for a rude surprise: Mary is killed almost immediately, and Christopher Robin is kidnapped and tortured. This all happens before the title sequence. The bulk of the movie is a traditional slasher film: A group of twentysomething girls head out for a weekend at a cabin adjacent to 100 Acre Wood. Pooh and Piglet hear the girls, and the killing begins.
