With the original story now out of U.S. copyright, this reimaging of the classic children's tale as a slasher film (like the slightly better take on The Banana Splits), Blood And Honey finds our favourite childhood animal friends abandoned by Christopher Robin when he goes to college and turning feral to survive in the 100 Acre Wood (brace yourselves, Eeyore fans). With an older now-married Christopher returning and the arrival of half-a-dozen young women renting a cottage for a holiday, the scene is set for a trot though standard slasher mayhem. However, the film largely suffers from uninspired dialogue, painfully flat performances for the most part, some messily-shot and edited kills and lethargic pacing, all of which make the film's scant 84-minutes running time feel very long indeed. The film also features perhaps the most inexplicable set of driving skills since Michael Myers escaped the secure hospital in 1978!
