Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a viral hit that raked in $4.5 million at the box office, is now available to rent or own from the comfort of your own home. The film, a twisted take on the beloved children’s tale, was directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield for Jagged Edge Productions and is available to rent for $9.99 or purchase for $19.98 on outlets like Amazon.
The story follows Christopher Robin, who, after leaving for college, abandons his old friends, causing them to embrace their dark sides and become monsters. The film’s success has already sparked a sequel, so fans of this macabre interpretation can look forward to more honey and probably a lot more blood.
“The days of adventures and merriment have come to an end, as Christopher Robin, now a young man, has left Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet to fend for themselves. As time passes, feeling angry and abandoned, the two become feral.
“After getting a taste for blood, Winnie-The-Pooh and Piglet set off to find a new source of food. It’s not long before their bloody rampage begins.”
