With copyright lapsed on the original books, Winnie the Pooh has been transformed into a slasher movie titled Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.

Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and starring Maria Taylor, Amber Doig-Thorne and Danielle Scott, the movie was met with some backlash when it was first announced last year, with mixed reactions about the children’s classic being subverted into horror.

Well, the movie looks to be even more twisted than expected, if the trailer is anything to go by, which gives us a glimpse at Christopher Robin’s journey through the 100 Acre Wood he abandoned for adulthood.

Disaster ensues when he's confronted by a bloodthirsty Pooh and Piglet who are on a murderous rampage, and it's not looking great for five women holidaying in the woods, either.
