First look images have been released from a Winnie The Pooh horror movie, and it's fair to say that film fans are rather concerned.
According to Dread Central, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is an upcoming indie horror title which shows the famous bear and his sidekick Piglet in a very different light.
The film is reportedly in post-production from writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and stars Amber Doig-Thorne, Maria Taylor and Danielle Scott.
According to the movie's IMDb page, the film is a grisly retelling of the Winnie the Pooh "legend" and a synopsis reads: "It follows Pooh and Piglet as they go on a rampage after Christopher Robin abandons them."
After seeing the first look images, fans immediately took to Twitter to comment and they were certainly divided about the upcoming flick.
One person said: "The Winnie The Pooh Horror Movie is here to ruin your childhood."
Another joked: "The Winnie the Pooh horror movie looks like a rip off of the purge."
A third person tweeted: "Now this is a Winnie the Pooh I can get behind!" and a fourth added: "Can't believe there's going to be a Winnie The Pooh horror movie, omg."
Someone else commented: "About the Winnie the Pooh horror movie. WTH? Why? That's going to leave nightmares in some people. Good luck with your project."
And another baffled fan tweeted: "How the f**k you could turned a Winnie the Pooh into a horror movie... Hollywood please go look for some good psychologist."
Some were unsure about the movie, with one person posting: "Winnie the Pooh was my childhood too. I have mixed feelings on this but I’d check it out just to get laughs out of it."
Winnie the Pooh is a well-known character first created by English author A. A. Milne, is one of the most popular adapted for film and television by The Walt Disney Company.
Published in 1926, the first Winnie The Pooh book is a collection of short stories about the teddy bear and his friends Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo.
It is the first of two story collections by Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh, the second being The House at Pooh Corner, which was released in 1928.
