Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) - Slam Review (with textual support comparisons to other, better horror films):

This film opens with such an interesting & nostalgia-bait hook that longs to corrupt your most innocent childhood memories. And then it never addresses the supposedly ‘established lore’ again!

If you show a person who has never watched a horror movie solely this film, their impression of all horror movies going forward would be every negative, stereotypical trope horror has ever been inflicted with that creators have been trying and succeeding to separate themselves from for the last 25+ years.

This film appears on camera as though it was written in a day, filmed in a week, & edited in an afternoon. Upon a first passive watch, there are two noticeable cuts where - scenes were not even necessarily left on the cutting room floor - characters completely pivot or change entire locations and/or appear in a new scenario entirely with no context or coherency (to squeeze in another kill, presumably). I can't imagine the errors an active viewer would notice.

Now I love a silly, underwritten slasher as much as the next girl. But, if the kills are not on point & offer something new for a seasoned viewer, there's no drive to check out the ‘new flick' in the first place. It's clear all the focus & budget went to the kills, but even with this level of attention there was simply no DETAIL. None were original (drawing from Texas Chain Saw & Halloween to name a few), the CGI was gaudy (what were the bees even THERE FOR?!/Candyman references maybe?!) & most were unrealistic (the persons would have been ‘dead' prior to their point of dying on screen).

(Additional note): Not to mention the title sequence after the promising hook pulls directly from House of 1000 Corpses (yet another ‘terrible movie’ but fun watch) but is executed in such a dry/unimaginative, underdeveloped way the whole sequence serves to remind you that there are better horror movies you could be watching than B&H.

(Speaking of comparative horror films): I think the only difference between Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey vs. Terrifier is that Art the clown is an instant classic & a unique ‘killer' entry into the genre with graphic, over the top (albeit, usually requiring the viewer to suspend their disbelief) kills that were UNIQUE & added creativity & fodder to the over saturated landscape. While, yes, B&H is very purposefully drawing on an OG source material & the creators' goal was to make a ‘poor film' from the jump as its own sort of commentary (on copy write abilities), after the cold open/hook, no effort was made to make Pooh or his sidekick memorable, lasting villains. All lore was scraped in the name of earning a body count. And for a slasher, no connection to the villains AND, on the flip, no connection to the victims is the biggest let down of them all for a fan of the genre.

I just hope the cast/crew had fun on set creating this one.

Am I going to be sobbing uncontrollably, missing days at work, binge eating & then starving myself for weeks after my first bf leaves me? Absolutely.

Will I be making tattoo appts, designing my full arm sleeve, & smiling sitting through each session? Motherfucking A right.

And I’ll be healed when my first or second tattoo after him is healed/complete.

#my bf won’t let me get anymore tattoos and I actually don’t know how to process #personal #rant #new relationship #random #tattoos #tattoed girls #personality #self expression

I woke up a little late after the alarm I set, but that’s ok. Time zones exist and I always watched the videos at 2 pm on their release. For major updates, the intro and the stream, I wasn’t watching them at 2 am on the dot (well the stream yes, but you get it). Yet, I have a weird sleep pattern and always check my phone in the night. Sometime between 2-8 am (this time/year 2021; 14 hours after my 22nd birthday) I watched both memorial/grave side episodes at 4:40 am.

A lot of emotions, a single tear watching Ethan’s (something about that kid who no longer is a kid because of the channel that is no more), and lots of pride. Mainly pride. That I was there through it all. I understood the assignment. I learned a lot about art, myself, and what it means to be able to give it all while also being able to let go. And proud as hell of everyone involved, on and off the screen, the characters, performers, and editors, and the fans.

Momento Mori, Unus Annus. I may not always revisit the grave site, but always, around my birthday, I’ll stop and reflect.

By the Godz, my bf brought in the trash, fed my cat, did the dishes, & wiped down the kitchen, all before he left for the week & without being asked. I’ll never know what I did to deserve him, but I’m trying my best to keep him as long as possible.
