Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey reviewed by Matt Donato
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey wastes an immediate-draw title on an underbaked, low-budget horror blunder that’s rougher than sandpaper. Outside of a few good kills, even horror fans just looking for mindless slaughter will probably be frustrated by Rhys Frake-Waterfield's unimpressive and unamusing adaptation. Every choice becomes more baffling than the last, as if attention was only paid to how much gore slathers the screen rather than, for example, making the title character look better than something you might pull off the shelf at a Spirit Halloween shop in early November. Not every horror film needs an airtight approach and Oscar-worthy composition, but it’s a crushing disappointment after Blood and Honey’s delightfully twisted elevator pitch grabbed so much attention that it seems to struggle to succeed at even the most basic movie-making elements. "Oh bother?" Try "Why bother."
