Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2023

In the idyllic Hundred Acre Wood, a youthful Christopher Robin formed an unbreakable bond with a motley crew of anthropomorphic friends - Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, and Winnie-the-Pooh. However, as Christopher’s collegiate pursuits beckoned him away, the woodland dwellers were left to fend for themselves, their reliance on Christopher’s benevolence having made them vulnerable to the harsh realities of winter’s arrival. Without his nurturing presence, the creatures found themselves facing a desperate struggle to survive, and it was then that they turned against each other, their once-harmonious existence devolving into a bloody reckoning. In this dark tableau, Eeyore became the unwitting sacrifice, and as the woodland inhabitants took up arms against humanity, they vowed to abandon their capacity for language, instead embracing their primal instincts.

Five years later, Christopher, now an adult, returned to the Hundred Acre Wood with his wife Mary by his side. But what he found was a desolate landscape, devoid of the whimsy and wonder that once characterized this enchanted realm. It was then that Piglet, driven by some ancient hatred, struck down Mary in a vicious attack, Christopher helplessly caught in the midst of the chaos. As Pooh and Piglet dragged him deeper into the woods, they revealed to him the skeletal remains of Eeyore, the gruesome evidence of their own brutal descent. The pyre that consumed Mary’s corpse served as a stark reminder of the unbridled savagery that had taken hold.

Meanwhile, a group of university students - Maria, Jessica, Alice, Zoe, and Lara - arrived in the Hundred Acre Wood, seeking solace from the trauma of a stalking experience. They rented a cabin on the periphery of this eerie landscape, only to find themselves drawn into the very horrors they had sought to escape. Tina, a friend who had failed to make the journey, became the first victim of Pooh’s merciless woodchipper. In his treetop lair, Pooh, who had imprisoned Christopher, indulged in a macabre nostalgia, his reminiscence of their idyllic past giving way to a brutal whipping with Eeyore’s tail, as he drenched Christopher in Mary’s blood.

As night descended upon the Hundred Acre Wood, Piglet and Pooh set out to claim their next victims. They chased down Lara, driving a car over her lifeless form before moving on to Zoe, whose fate was sealed within the cabin walls. Maria and Jessica, determined to rescue Alice from Pooh’s clutches, discovered Christopher imprisoned in his treehouse, but it was only when they freed him that they learned of Charlene, another captive who had been brutally mutilated by Piglet. Seizing her chance for revenge, Charlene summoned Piglet, only to meet a gruesome end at the hands of the vengeful woodland creature.

As the night wore on, Pooh pursued Maria and Jessica through the woods, but it was Alice who remained behind, armed with Piglet’s own sledgehammer. With a fierce determination, she bludgeoned Piglet into unconsciousness, seemingly ending his reign of terror. However, her triumph was short-lived, as Pooh struck back, impaling Alice with a knife through her open mouth.

Maria and Jessica, desperate to escape the clutches of their tormentors, sought help from passing strangers but found themselves confronted by Pooh’s unyielding fury. In a desperate bid to evade him, Maria attempted to run Pooh down with their pick-up truck, only to crash in a heap. When she awakened, she was met with the horrific sight of Pooh decapitating Jessica. With her own life hanging in the balance, Christopher appeared, driving a car that crushed Pooh between its two vehicles, finally silencing the monstrous force that had wrought such devastation upon the Hundred Acre Wood.

As the situation descends into chaos, Pooh seizes the opportunity to liberate himself and takes control of the moment by holding Maria captive with a knife. Desperate for a solution, Christopher (Keanu Reeves) implores Pooh to spare Maria’s life, promising to remain by his side and offering heartfelt apologies for past transgressions. In a shocking turn of events, Pooh breaks his vow of silence, uttering the devastating words “You left” before plunging the knife into Maria’s throat. As the life drains from her body, a visibly shaken Christopher is overcome with grief and flees the scene, realizing that his former friend has succumbed to darkness and is now irredeemable. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Pooh becomes consumed by madness, repeatedly stabbing Maria’s lifeless corpse in a twisted display of despair and anguish.
