An official poster has finally dropped for that horror movie about Winnie the Pooh.
People couldn't believe their eyes when they saw images from an upcoming slasher flick all about a killer made to look like the bear who loves honey.
However, it's very obvious that the bear in Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey loves murder.

The poster started doing the rounds on social media on July 14 and people say it's only made them more excited to see the film.
One person wrote: "Amazes me that this is a real thing."
Another added: "This is going to be amazing."
A third said: "This goes so hard."
Very little is actually known about the movie so far. The only thing the public has been given is a couple of images and now a poster.

The film's director, Rhys Waterfield, told Variety a little about the plot, saying: “[Pooh and Piglet are] the main villains, going on a rampage.”
He added: “Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult.
“Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral.
"So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. They’re no longer tame: they’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.”

Based on the stills released back in May, it's clear Pooh and Piglet find their victims living in a house that appears to be fairly secluded.
One picture shows grotesque versions of both Pooh and Piglet, who were so cherished in everyone's childhood, standing behind a woman in a hot tub (it really is truly unsettling).
We also see one of the characters standing on what appears to be a kidnapped, tied up woman emphasising that this film is not going to hold back on its sinister essence.
Waterfield said it will probably be a bit jarring to see everyone's favourite childhood character become so sinister.

“It’s scary but there’s also funny bits…there’s shots of Winnie the Pooh in a car and seeing him with his little ears behind the wheel and like slowly going over there [to murder her,]" he said to Variety.
At the moment we don’t have a confirmed release date, but it's reckoned that the twisted slasher could be here as early as the end of 2022, due to the film being in its post production phase.
Pooh will be played by horror actor Craig David-Dowsett, whilst Chris Cordell will take on the role of Piglet.
There are a couple of other characters such as a ‘mauled woman’ being played by Danielle Scott, the rest of the stars include Amber Doig-Thorne and Maria Taylor.
