It might be one of the year’s biggest viral sensations and most profitable movies, but Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has also been proven so awful that it keeps on being named as one of the worst films of all-time. If you hear the same thing often enough, then there’s most likely more than a hint of truth to the matter, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to argue.
Writer and director Rhys Frake-Waterfield also deserves immeasurable blame for igniting the trend for reinventing iconic children’s characters as the protagonists of splatter-heavy slashers, but that’s another argument for another time. Of course, we’ve got nobody to blame but ourselves after Blood and Honey hauled in $4 million at the box office on a $100,000 budget, which sums up where we’re at as a society.
Not content with being inducted into the Rotten Tomatoes hall of shame after its three percent critical approval rating saw it named as one of the worst of the worst, Blood and Honey has now been welcomed with open arms onto IMDb‘s Bottom 100 list in 75th position, thanks to an average rating of 3/10 from north of 17,000 votes.
That’s the highest-profile aggregation site on the planet and one of the internet’s most trusted resources of film and television information damning the horror-tinged Winnie the Pooh story to the depths for being an abomination against the good name of cinema for those keeping track, which doesn’t really leave it with a leg to stand on in its defense when the evidence keeps on mounting up.
