He’s not so rumbly in his tumbly anymore. “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” finds a bloodthirsty Pooh Bear ready to wreak havoc in Hundred Acre Wood.
In this slasher film, five years have passed since Christopher Robin left Hundred Acre Wood to attend college. He returns to find his once-cute and beloved teddy bear is now a feral and murderous villain, who turns on Robin as he unleashes violence upon a group of college students.
