Welcome to the Public Domain

Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey 


    This is where we are in society. A well loved story character from our youth has graduated into the public domain, and that means make a damn horror movie out of it. Steamboat Willy's getting the same treatment in 2025 and the film will be called Screamboat. Ha.

    In the first 12 minutes, we get the background story and 2 killings! Christopher Robbins wanders around a forest as a kid and meets a bunch of weird and janky half-human, half-animal hybrids and decides to befriend them, help them, and bring them food. Over the years, Christopher grows older and eventually moves away. This causes the Humanimals to nearly starve to death. To get by, they sacrifice one of their members to eat so they could survive. Turns out, they're not good as self-sufficiency and Eeyore makes the ultimate sacrifice. After that, they turn their back on humanity and stop speaking words, with one last vow to murder the fuck out of Mr. Robbins. Fast forward to Christopher and his fiancĂ© wandering the same woods so that she could meet his old buddies...which they promptly kill his friend while he acted like a bitch and didn't lift a finger. You picked the wrong man, girl! They drag him into the woods and do things to him.  And this being a horror movie, that means it's now time to send the next set of young people into the game. The rest is an hour of yelling, running, screaming, killing...you get the idea.


    Is it good? It's OK, but it's really just another horror movie with guys wearing bad masks. They try to pour on the psychological torture, but it's in vain because I'm just not buying into it. It's a silly premise and you tried to be like Rob Zombie. Just don't.

This is supposed to instill fear?!?

And while I'd like to say all is not lost because they put out a sequel in 2024, we all know how well that usually works. Hint: It doesn't! 

Final: It's like Cube, but flatter....
