Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey (2023) Review

 

This is one of those films that I really wanted to like and, while it did have its faults, for the most part it was an enjoyable film. The concept was an interesting one. Turning the beloved books and cartoon into a Slasher/Horror film took guts and it really paid off in the end. Now the writing and acting definitely wasn’t the best but given the nature of this film it didn’t have to be. This isn’t one of those films you watch for the art. It is one of those films that you watch for fun and it definitely won on that side in the end.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call this film terrifying. In fact it didn’t even come close to that. However it definitely had a creep factor to it and there were times where I was really on the edge of my seat. The violence was rather intense and while the gore wasn’t too over the top it was definitely there. Most of the film was dark and left me wondering what was going to happen next. I never really knew for sure and it is that mystery that really made the film enjoyable.

This film is in some ways greater than the sum of its parts. If you take every aspect of this film individually it doesn’t add up to much but taken together it truly is something special. It’s not great but it is fun and in the end that is all that really matters.
