Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey movie storyline. Many years ago, a young Christopher Robin met and befriended a group of anthropomorphic creatures Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, and Winnie-the-Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood, and would often bring them food and spend time with them.
However, upon deciding to enter university to become a doctor, he stopped visiting. Without him around to feed or guide them, and with the arrival of winter, the creatures went into extreme starvation. One night, Pooh decided that to survive, the group had to consume one of their own. Eventually, they settled on killing and eating Eeyore, which traumatised them so much that they developed a hatred for humanity, particularly towards Christopher for causing their suffering. They vowed to abandon their humanity, return to their feral instincts, and be permanently silent.
Five years later, Christopher, now an adult, returns to the Hundred Acre Wood, accompanied by his fiancée Mary, to reunite with his old friends, but finds the place in a desolate state. Despite Mary’s warnings to leave, Christopher investigates further, but Piglet surprises him and fatally strangles Mary with a chain. Horrified and confused, Christopher attempts to escape, but Pooh and Piglet corner and subdue him before dragging him back into the woods, showing him Eeyore’s skeletal remains in a cave, and burning Mary’s corpse.
Sometime later, university students Maria, Jessica, Alice, Zoe, and Lara rent a cabin in the Hundred Acre Wood as suggested by Maria’s therapist, so she can overcome a traumatic stalking experience. Tina, another of Maria’s friends, gets lost en route to the cabin, and Pooh chases her into an abandoned factory, where he grinds her up with a woodchipper. Later, in his treehouse, Pooh, who has imprisoned Christopher, reminisces over their childhood and angrily breaks down, brutally whipping him with Eeyore’s tail and placing Mary’s skeletal remains in a corner before showering him in her blood.
