When it was first announced back in May, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey was met with an amused shrug. Sure, everything else in the world is on a fast-track expressway to hell, so why not make a horror movie about AA Milne’s beloved teddy bear transforming into a living nightmare and embarking on a bloodthirsty rampage?

But sometimes wishes do come true. Because while Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey might have sounded like a one-gag pipe dream destined to be ensnared forever within Disney’s litigious machinery, now there is tangible proof that the thing actually exists. The first Blood and Honey trailer has been released into the world and, for better or worse, it is every single thing you ever thought it would be.
