Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is now officially one of the worst-reviewed films ever. Taking advantage of the iconic A. A. Milne characters from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories entering the U.S. public domain in 2022, the film presents a twisted vision of the classic characters Pooh and Piglet. When Christopher Robin grew up and left the Hundred Acre Wood, the animals were left to their own devices, where they became bloodthirsty slasher villains. The film was written and directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who announced his intention to give similar horror treatment to children's classics like Bambi and Peter Pan.
Per the review aggregator Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey's critic score has dropped so low that the film has now officially landed on their list of the 100 Worst Movies Of All Time.
While there are plenty of movies with 0 percent ratings out, this list is populated by titles that received 20 reviews or more. This distinction landed the film at No. 96, above films like Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill and Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star but below 2010's The Last Airbender.
Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey Can Only Benefit From ing This List
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey s a long line of critically derided horror films on this list. Other titles even lower down include The Roommate at No. 62, The Disappointments Room at No. 21, and Jaws: The Revenge at No. 10. The list even has a horror title all the way up at No. 2, the 2008 J-horror remake One Missed Call.
However, this distinction may do more good than harm to the longevity of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey. The origin of the exploitation film's notoriety is its concept rather than any quality in its execution. It is a film designed to pique interest due to its controversial nature and intrigue for audience .
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey landing on this list will make it more of a curio. Not only is it notorious for its subject matter, but it is also lightning-rod for criticism. All that negative attention will only give it an even more prominent platform, allowing it to come to the attention of even more people who want to investigate why critics hated the movie so much, a fate that befell other entries on the list, including Gotti, starring the iconic John Travolta.
