Winnie the Pooh Blood & Honey Blu-ray Release Date
The Blu-ray, which comes out on April 9, 2024, features the viral slasher take on a beloved children’s character that kicked off a wave of similar projects.
The story of the moviegoers that five years ago, Christopher Robin abandoned his childhood companions, Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet, and the woods in which they all played. Now an adult, Christopher has returned, with his fiancée Maria in tow, for a reunion with his old friends … only to find that in his absence, Pooh and Piglet have turned feral, silent … and murderous. What was once a joyous place of imagination and merriment becomes a violent battleground for survival in this audacious and terrifying spin on A.A. Milne’s beloved children’s stories.
Despite the horror film’s mediocre reviews, earning 3% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie was made for a sub-$100,000 budget, and its eye-catching concept saw it rake in $5,2 million at the box office.
A sequel is understandably on the way, with a bigger budget and more of Pooh’s pals joining the next bloodbath. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield is also planning a shared universe franchise, including a horror version of Bambi Peter Pan and Pinocchio.
