‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey’ review: These filmmakers are psychopaths
nypost.combrutally murder 11 people … is a sentence I never thought I’d write.But that’s what goes down in the sicko indie horror film “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey,” which played theaters for one night only on Wednesday.
