Deep within the Hundred Acre Wood, a destructive rage grows as Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger find their home and their lives endangered after Christopher Robin revealed their existence. Not wanting to live in the shadows any longer, the group decides to take the fight to Christopher's hometown of Ashdown, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake. Winnie and his savage friends will show everyone that they are deadlier, stronger, and smarter than anyone could ever imagine … and get their revenge on Christopher Robin once and for all.
A dark but overall boring film about scary ghosts in a ladies house (oh my!). But really there was very little new in this story that would make it worth viewing or adding to your lists.
⭐⭐⭐
Angela and her brother Jackson play medium for people to fake rid their homes of spirits so they can move on. It is a pretty messed up gig to be honest but Jackson owes some bad people a lot of money and they might kill his girlfriend so he has to be careful! They take a job that Angela thinks is too big for them but again, Jackson needs the money. When they arrive at the simply massive house they pretend that it isn’t too much for the team of the four (4) of them.
As soon as they start to survey the house Angela is seeing the spirits of the little girls that died there, she tries to pass it off as something else, but is deeply rocked by having actual psychic visions. The girls have their mouths sewn shut which is another deeply disturbing detail. The woman who called them to the home admits her son killed the girls and was a troubled boy but there appears to be something darker, more Malevolent underneath. Quite literally in fact as our cameraman, Elliot, falls through the floor and into a dark and spooky room with all these words (like HELP) scratched into the walls. Jackson leaves his girlfriend at base with the mother who is now admitting that it was the girls who were so out of line with the constant talking and her boy was a “good egg” and we are realizing she is the baddie here. By the time the three (3) make it back to the base the girlfriend is gone, they have to find her and she has had her mouth sewn shut. They get into the car but don’t make it out as they get into an accident and since the girlfriend wasn’t belted in (she was unconscious) she was thrown from the car and died. Awfully tragic.
Now the bad son appears and he takes Jackson. Angela has to walk all the way back to the house to save her brother (poor Elliot will have to crawl). By the time Angela gets there she is put in a chair and begins to have her mouth sewn shut, it isn’t until Elliot shows up and kills the son that there is a shift in power but the mom is still very dangerous. That is when the ghost children scream and scream giving Angela a moment to end things. As she leaves the house to go get help she sees her brother, sans injury. She knows pretty much immediately that he is a ghost. She is wrecked by this, she couldn’t save him, but by the end, in the hospital, she is glad for the company of her brother's spirit. This is based on a book called Hush which makes a lot more sense what with the sewing of the mouths shut. Also there is already a scary movie called Hush and it is appropriately named and it is incredibly well done.
