Okay, I have just seen this thing. It is an hour and twenty two minutes of torture . I thought Hollywood was done with that type of thing after the Hostel franchise. I’m a fan of horror movies but I can do without the graphic torture .
The best part of this is the animated part in the beginning that explains how Christopher Robin abandoned the animals when he grew up and they went insane, especially when they went through a starvation period and decided to eat Eyore.
Cut to many years later when Christopher brings his new wife to the Hundred Acre Woods to meet his childhood friends. Obviously, it doesn’t go well for them. Nor does it go well for a vapid group of young women who decide to rent a house for a weekend getaway near the Hundred Acre Wood.
What follows is basically just a series of Friday the 13th style murders by a guy in a Pooh costume and a guy in a piglet costume, although the murders here are much more elaborate and disgusting, for whatever that’s worth. Not much, in my opinion.
There is no character development of any kind. I just got out and I can barely remember anything about these people.
There is a point about 3/4ths in when the whole thing gets so ridiculous that everyone in the audience started laughing hysterically. I don’t know if this puts it in the “It’s so bad it’s good” category, but it is what it is.
It’s all pretty atrocious, unfortunately. If it was more campy or tongue in cheek, it may have worked but this thing takes itself deadly seriously, and that was a fatal flaw in my humble opinion.
