Expectations weren't exactly high for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, which is a shameless cash-in on the fact that Winnie-the-Pooh entered the public domain in 2022. Even so, a slasher movie featuring Pooh and Piglet carving up unsuspecting saps could've been fun with the right execution, but it's painfully clear throughout that a $100,000 budget wasn't enough to get the job done.

Above all else, Blood and Honey needed creative kills and gnarly creature designs for Pooh and Piglet. But the filmmakers basically just settled for slapping some generic rubber masks on the actors portraying the killers and calling it a day.

There's no expressiveness to their faces, and as a result, it's never even remotely convincing that we're looking at feral, monstrous iterations of the beloved characters. Instead, it's simply two blokes wearing terrible masks.

To the filmmakers' credit, they did however seriously step things up for last year's sequel, which armed with a $500,000 budget, clearly spent way more money on bespoke makeup for the villains.
