10 Worst Movies Of 2023 (So Far)

It's never encouraging when a movie is made solely because the rights to the IP have entered the public domain, and that's precisely why filmmaker Rhys Frake-Waterfield was able to produce this Winnie the Pooh-fronted slasher flick.

While at best this is a cynical attempt to cash-in on a brand name and meme a movie to commercial success, at worst it's basically anti-art - producing a releasable end result on the thinnest budget possible (just $100,000) to ensure profits no matter the quality.

Though there's arguably a fun idea in here for a breezy 10-minute short, at feature length Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey quickly falls apart.

From the written-on-a-napkin screenplay to the cardboard-stiff acting, atrocious CGI gore, and generally listless engagement with Pooh's "lore," this is a glorified joke of a movie which nevertheless proves that horror movies are still the safest commercial bet in Hollywood.

Indeed, Blood and Honey ended up grossing over $5 million (!) theatrically - more than fifty-times its budget - ensuring that not only is a sequel in development, but a shared universe is in the works, featuring horror films centered around Bambi and Peter Pan. Have mercy.
