Hollywood has all but come to a complete halt in recent months. One thing that has not changed is the news of more installments of established franchises. We talk about the interesting history of Highlander, the odd decision to make another Hocus Pocus movie, and how we feel about each one.
We all knew that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was not going to set a new standard. It was clear from the beginning that it was going to coast as far as it could with its beloved children’s story adapted into a horror movie concept. If done correctly, that would be more than enough to make for a fun little horror movie.
Instead, it did the bare minimum. There is no story, characters, or even a proper ending. The filmmakers decided that the idea of a Winnie the Pooh horror movie would be enough to attract attention and instead gave audiences a pointless slasher with some admittedly awesome kills. So what can other horror movies learn from it?
Squealer has a strong opening and an interesting premise. At worst, it seems like it will be an engaging story. A lack of strong characters, a story that is way more filler than killer, and a number of subplots that add nothing make it a chore to sit through, however. Do a couple of gross moments save things. And what is Tyrese Gibson doing in it?
