Get your first look at the blood-soaked Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey ahead of its release later this year.
Winnie the Pooh in a horror slasher? You must be at least a little intrigued if you’ve clicked this far. When the rights to the beloved bear entered the public domain earlier this year, Jagged Edge Productions leapt in to reinvent Pooh and his pals from loveable companions into feral, murderous creatures who are hellbent are hunting down and violently destroying all who enter their domain.
In what must be the most perfectly-crystallised encapsulation of a dark, gritty legacy story, Pooh and Piglet were abandoned by Christopher Robin as he heads to college, having to make their own way in the world. As you can imagine, things don’t go well.
Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield said in an interview with Variety that “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.” Waterfield also promises scares and laughs in equal measure, saying that “It’s scary but there’s also funny bits because there’s shots of Winnie the Pooh in a car and seeing him with his little ears behind the wheel and like slowly going over there to kill a college girl”.
ITN Studios is distributing Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey ahead of its release later this year. If you’re still intrigued to know more, you can catch the trailer below.
