So, a while back, we showed you the trailer for a Winnie-The-Pooh themed horror flick… (which is AMAZING by the way). But now that Disney’s oldest assets have contracts coming to the open market, creators can do as they please with them… which mainly involves murder. Following the surprising success of the recent horror parody, several low-budget projects have taken a similar approach by putting a twisted, gruesome spin on some classic children’s characters (there are plenty more on the way), and the latest will see the Hundred Acre Wood’s resident bear face-off against the most recognizable Disney icon of them all, Mickey Mouse.
According to the official synopsis:
“The film follows two convicts in the 1920s who escape into a cursed forest only to be dragged and consumed into the depths of the dark forest’s muddy heart. “A century later, a group of thrill-seeking friends unknowingly venture into the same woods. Their Airbnb getaway takes a horrifying turn when the convicts mutate into twisted versions of childhood icons Mickey Mouse & Winnie-The-Pooh, and emerge to terrorize them.
A night of violence and gore erupts, as the group of friends battle against their now monstrous beloved childhood characters and fight to break free from the forest’s grip. “In a horrific spectacle, Mickey and Winnie clash, painting the woods in a gruesome tableau of blood—a chilling testament to the curse’s insidious power.”
It sounds like this is at least attempting to do something creative with the concept, so who knows?
