TL; DR: Winnie the Pooh? More like Winnie the Poo
The fact that this was an internationally released movie is crazy as it is god damn AWFUL
What interested me was the concept of Winnie and Piglet going ferral and becoming a bloodthirsty duo.
However, the actual delivery of this concept was very poorly done. This seems to be a generic slasher project that was already in production that had the Winnie/Piglet killer concept slapped on it wayy after the fact
Winnie and Piglet are presented as abominations, yet are clearly 2 guys in masks WITH HUMAN HANDS
Winnie can drive a car
Piglet is able to telepathically communicate with Winnie without ever speaking
The continuity errors are so blatantly obvious that one wonders if they were intentionally left in to make the film even worse so that it's reputation as a bad film gets enhanced.
There's a scene near the beginning where a woman is in a hot tub, taking selfies, and her phone switches orientation multiple times as the shot angle changes
There's a scene where Winnie tortures Christopher Robin by whipping him with the tail of Eyore (who was eaten by Winnie and Piglet before the events of the film) before he, literally, showers him in blood
There's another scene where one of the characters reveals she is in possession of a firearm, which she has because she has a stalker. This film is set in the UK ..
On the topic of firearms, in the latter act of the film, 2 remaining characters are staging a daring rescue of a friend who was kidnapped by our favourite bloodthirsty duo. When they find their friend, the one who has the gun, puts the weapon down to untie her friend, the scene continues, and they decide to move to a different area, leaving the gun behind.
Later in the film, they save another victim who decides she's going to kill Piglet and grabs the gun from the pocket of one of the women. DESPITE THEM CLEARLY LEAVING THE GUN BEHIND IN THE PREVIOUS SCENE
The last scene where Winnie murders a group of men trying to kill him is hilarious and is a complete rip off of the scene from Halloween Kills when the mob attacks Michael Myers, and he obliterates them.
Between watching this film and typing this rant, I've lost around 3 hours of my life
