Nottingham actress told 'you deserve to die' over Winnie the Pooh horror film role

They say to me 'you've ruined my childhood'," says Natasha Tosini, who has become the poster girl for the most infamous film of 2023 - Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey - a horror centred around a twisted version of the loveable children's character as he goes on a killing spree with his best friend Piglet. Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live, the St Ann's actress discusses her unexpected rise to fame, being embraced by the horror community and being told she 'deserves to die' by some Winnie the Pooh fans.

There wasn't much expectation of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, having been filmed over 10 days on a budget of less than £100,000. But following its release it has become an international hit, grossing more than $4.2 million at the Box Office so far.

"I didn't even expect it to go anywhere, I thought it would just be a silly little project. I took the job because I wanted to make friends," said Natasha, a breakout star from the eyebrow-raising film. "I had no idea it would blow up. I'd say at this point it's infamous, it's definitely one of the most infamous films over the last few years, regardless of whether people like it or hate it."
