Christopher Robin decidedly f*cked up with this one - although, in all fairness, it is hard to imagine how any sane human being could have possibly predicted the events that were to unfold within 2023's laughably misjudged Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

In this take on AA Milne's beloved children's storybook character, Robin befriends a group of talking anthropomorphic animals after he begins bringing them food. Unfortunately for young Christopher, he had no idea what a dumb decision this would ultimately prove to be.

Feeding Pooh and Co. wasn't the idiotic choice in itself, it was failing to consider the consequences of what would happen when Robin stopped bringing them food. After he eventually goes off to medical school, the animals starved to the point where they were forced to cannibalize beloved donkey Eeyore to survive - this harrowing flashpoint led to them swearing a vow of vengeance against their childhood friend.

While a group of children's book characters committing to an undying vow of bloody retribution is about as laughable as it gets on paper, the results for Christopher are anything but. Upon the adult Robin's return to his childhood home, the animals unleash a campaign of sadistic violence that claims the lives of his fiancee and friends, underlining what a stupid mistake abandoning them had been.

Of course, it goes without saying that the argument can be made that simply conceiving this film in the first place was the dumbest decision in horror history.
