Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey ending explained
The origins of Pooh's extreme grudge against Christopher Robin stem from when his former friend left the 100 Acre Wood to attend college. Without his support and guidance, the various animals turned on each other and even resorted to eating Eeyore to stave off starvation – which has understandably left them feeling a little traumatised.
When Christopher returns to his former home five years later accompanied by his fiancée Mary, things very quickly go horrifically awry. Mary is viciously killed by Piglet, who then teams up with Pooh to drag Christopher into the wood where he will be held captive.
It's safe to see that Christopher's time in captivity is not very pleasant – not only is he frequently whipped with Eeyore's tail, he is also showered with the blood of his dead fiancée.
Meanwhile, a group of college girls renting a nearby cottage are now also being terrorised by Pooh and friends, who have extended their vendetta to all humankind rather than just Christopher Robin.
One by one, the girls are killed off in increasingly gruesome ways, only for the survivors to fight back, with Piglet killed after he is bludgeoned to death with his own sledgehammer.
Learning of his dear friend's death, Pooh is now more determined than ever to press on with his brutal mission and easily dispatches a number of men who have attempted to save the two surviving college girls, Maria and Jess.
While he is doing this, Maria jumps inside the mens' car and tries to run over Pooh, but the bear manages to get inside the vehicle and derail it, forcing her to crash into a tree and pass out. Maria wakes up just in time to see Pooh decapitate Jess before he turns on her – but before he can do so, Christopher Robin appears driving another car.
After an attempt to kill Pooh by crushing him between the cars fails, Christopher pleads with the bear to spare Maria – even offering to spend the rest of his life keeping him company in the 100 Acre Wood as penance for previously abandoning him.
Alas, it's all too late – Pooh is too far gone and can't be won over by his former pal. Speaking for the first time since taking a vow of silence years before, he tells him simply, "You left," and proceeds to slash Maria's throat and repeatedly stab her, while Christopher runs away to safety.
