This movie is not a finished product, not even close. This needed AT LEAST a month or two longer in the editing room because it is a mess! I'm not even talking about the terrible story or acting because I knew I was getting that regardless, which is no problem for me as long as there's some carnage. I'm talking about the atrocious sound mixing/editing, the abrupt cuts and transitions, and nauseating camera work. The basics of filmmaking! Whenever someone is getting murdered, you can't even tell what is going on because the camera work is so amateurish and shoddy. It's almost like the camera operator was having a seizure whenever they were supposed to film a kill.
This movie had a $100,000 budget, yet they showed almost no gore/make-up FX when someone would die. If you're filming a low-budget B horror movie, people are going for the kills and not much else, therefore you better be pumping 80% of your budget into the "horror" aspect of the movie and show some people getting slaughtered.
Terrifier 1 had a $25,000 (a fraction of Blood and Honey's budget),yet showed every kill in grisly detail and people LOVED it! Then they made a sequel for $250,000 and made 13 million off it. I'm not sure where the $100,000 budget of this movie went, but it was most definitely not the kills, editing or acting. Maybe Pooh and Piglet's costumes were each $50,000 a piece, and if so the costume designer definitely pocketed that money.
The only reason I'm not giving this a 1 is because I like the concept of taking a fictional character from the public domain and putting a B horror twist on it. Though a good concept, the execution could not have been much worse. This should not have left editing room let alone released IN THEATERS! The distribution company should be held accountable. It's like video game developers releasing unfinished games. Trash.
2/10.

A Big Ol' Pile of Unfinished Pooh!
Does not utilise it's premise at all.
I fully expected Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey to have indistinguishable disposable characters, kills that are gross and mean-spirited, a bone-thin plot, inane dialogue, and acting that is...mediocre at best.
I was right about the film having all of these things, and I didn't mind these things. They're par-for-the-course in the slasher genre, and I embrace the self-aware trashiness of it all.
What I was not prepared for was just how boring this movie is. And it's because it does not even attempt to make use of its characters that should make for a slam-dunk of a hilariously enjoyable concept.
Christopher Robin and his college friends should have been the focal characters. But Christopher Robin is barely in this movie and instead we get a group of vapid girls who have no relation to Christopher. They get killed off instead, and there is no reason to care because they're completely detached from the connection between Pooh and Christopher at the beginning of the film.
It would have been so easy for them to capitalise on a concept that could only be found in Winnie-the-Pooh: the animals kill Christopher's family and friends as revenge for him abandoning them. But the plot we got could be interchanged with literally any other plot in the slasher genre, as it's just a bunch of randos getting killed.
What also doesn't help this disaster is the awful editing. Almost every shot lasts longer than it should, and it makes each scene feel agonisingly long.
It's a film where we watch a lot of half-baked ideas play out on screen, and none of them are unique. None of them are what I wanted to see from a concept as silly as this.
This could have been hilariously good fun. Instead, it's identical to the rest of the trash you can find in bottom-of-the-barrel horror.
Winnie the Pooh:Cringe and Strangely bad
First of all, the movie is really bad but its badness has made it entertaining in certain aspects. The main reason for the badness of the film is the acting. It may be the worst cast I've ever seen in my life. They act so badly in every scene that it's unbelievable. The acting is a disaster and it really ruined the movie.
There were 3-4 bloody scenes in the movie that looked good in the cinema, but some scenes were incredibly unnecessary and long. Also, the nudity was forced on us before the characters died. It would have been better if they had chosen the cast according to the movie's requirements.
Actually, when I first heard about the movie, I thought it might be interesting. It has a low budget and a different structure. However, the screenplay that the director chose was extremely bad, which ruined the movie. Although I really liked the animation in the first part, the costumes of Piglet and Winnie were incredibly artificial and awful, which turned the horror scenes into comedy.
It would have been better if it had been written much better and if it had been adapted to the screen with good costumes in a short time. Unfortunately, our director has made very bad choices and has created a disaster of a movie. He has disrespected the characters' past. There's really nothing worth watching in this movie.2.
