The greatest unintentional comedy ever made

Some time ago my friends and I went to see Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, a horror film based on the Winnie The Pooh series of books by Alan Alexander Milne, which quite recently escaped Disney's clutches and became public domain. I had 0 to none interest in seeing this, however, my friends talked me into giving this a shot. I can't believe that a movie could fail already low expectations, but apparently it's possible.

However, this remains the funniest non comedic film I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm not sure there were movies that were supposed to make me laugh that did it quite as much as this one did.

I'm once again gonna ditch my usual format for this one as there just isn't too much to be said about it. Without further addo let's discuss the positives and the negatives of this public domain travesty.

The Negatives

Objectivley viewed, this is one of the worst films I ever saw. The writing doesn't feel like it fully realizes the potential of the concept, the acting combines within itself every shade of awful, the soundtrack sounds like free to download stock music and the effects make it feel like a community theatre production. The story of a murderous Winnie The Pooh has a lot of potential. It probably would have been better off as a self-aware comedy that parodies the nature of the public domain, the trend of dark and gritty reboots and remakes or even an hommage to campy and cheesy slashers and exploitation films that reigned the straight to video and made for TV markets back in the day. But, as is, it's a film that completley misses out on any semblence of potential it might have had.

The Positives

Now, as with any peace of bad content, there's some positives to it. I quite enjoyed the look and sound design of the opening credits. It reminded me quite a lot of the opening credits from the 2003 slasher Wrong Turn (one of the few movies in that subgenre I geniuenly enjoyed). The opening animation that gives us insight into the early days of the friendship between Christopher Robin and the creatures of the Hundred Acre Woods, which forms the main narrative crux of the film. Sadly, however, that's about as much objective positives I can name in this case.

Would I reccomend it?

It depends on what you're looking for. If you want a geniuenly good and well made indie horror, this isn't one. There had been some amazing feature films and shorts in that genre that really make what they can despite the shortages in budget. If you want a movie that's hysterical on absolutely ever level due to how incompetent it is, then you came to the right place. I don't remember laughing as much during a horror flick for all these years I spent watching the genre. It's not a movie for everyone, but we had one hell of a time and I'm certain a while will pass before it happens again.
