Well where do I start with this one. Short answer do not waste your time. Longer answer below

I've seen some low budget films in my time and I've had many great experiences watching such films.

However Piglet is by a multitude of a million light years the absolute biggest pile of tripe I've ever seen.

Terrible acting, terrible effects. Honestly staring the wall in a freezing cold room would be a better use for your time.

The whole thing looks like it was shot and edited by someone in a bedroom. The blood effects look like they were added using technology from the 90's

I actually said to my wife around 10 mins in the whole film could be condensed into 15 mins.

Just finished watching this movie and if like me you have seen the Winnie the Pooh horror movies then you would be totally mistaken for thinking that this film is from the same universe, I did until I read that it's a standalone movie.

Now if you liked the Winnie the Pooh horror movies hen you may like this, I said may because you would have to think about the first one and put the acting, the story, the killings, heck everything that the first movie had and drop it down a few degrees and then you will know how bad this film is.

The only thing going for it, it didn't take itself seriously.

Then again I don't know if they did that in purpose or not.

If you miss this movie then don't worry your not missing much.

It's unclear to me how people continuously are able to scrap enough money together to make these movies. There's absolutely nothing new to see in this movie. A masked killer (and family) kills everyone they see. I think this would be better if Piglet actually was a pig man instead of some deformed guy wearing a pig mask. If they would have had 2 or 3 masks and used them in each shot Piglet was in, they could just re-release the movie with whatever mask he was wearing....maybe a possum! The rest is pretty cliche, the characters make bad decisions, there are side characters to up the kill count and create awkward, unnecessary scenes in the film, etc. Honestly though, pick something else to watch...

Poorly written, logical gaps the size of Mars all over the place, and the acting is so far past bad they need to create a new word for it. Piglet looks good, that's about it. In another movie, the look could have worked. The older sister somehow still manages to stand out as aggravating among the rest of the group staying in the cabin. Relentlessly hostile to a guy popping in and out of the movie trying to tell them to leave and that it's not safe. No actual reason other than she just randomly decided she 'doesn't trust him' though he gives zero reason for it. Ridiculous stuff like that. Piglet gets shot with a shotgun in the shoulder. Next scene, no hole on his apron lol. People literally twice hide in plain view of Piglet and another guy and magically aren't seen, woman has a gun fully trained on Piglet but never shoots it while he's killing her partner with multiple stabs for at least 30 seconds. I usually will grin and bear it and watch a movie to the end no matter what, so I can at least say I made it and see the ending. This one tested me like no other. Best scene was when the end credits rolled.

It seems that there are so few ideas in the Southern Hemisphere that they had to mash up the Poohniverse, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wolf Creek.

And it's rotten down under. Like a metric kiloton of lard left out in the Australian sun - in late January, when their summer is in swing.

I am also running out of pig analogies to describe how bad and stupid this movie is. The cast is terrible. The plot is so dumb. The script was clearly AI-written. The acting is non-existent.

The characters are terrible. Every second of the movie is annoying in every way. I guess the camerawork is okay - and by that I mean whoever was operating the camera was awake. And the editing is decent. But I am sure that the person who cut this atrocity suffered mental harm having to piece this incompetent nonsense to together.

Avoid.

I recently watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Piglet (2025) on Tubi. The story follows a man who escapes captivity and takes refuge in the woods, leaving behind a pattern of disturbing acts. When a 21-year-old woman decides that a birthday camping trip with her friend is just what she needs, she soon realizes she's chosen the wrong woods to celebrate in...

Directed by Andrea M. Catinella (Mouseboat Massacre), the film stars Alexander Butler (All Roads Lead Home), Alina Desmond (Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2), and Shayli Reagan (Mouseboat Massacre).

At first, Piglet seems like it might turn out okay. The setup is solid, and the villain is decently conceived. The kill scenes feature some effective gore and blood splatter, and the film includes some visually appealing sequences, along with nudity and random girl-on-girl action typical of this niche horror trend.

Unfortunately, things go downhill quickly. As the story unfolds, the plot deteriorates, and the addition of Piglet's human sidekick only makes things worse. By the time the final showdown arrives, it feels flat, awkward, and ultimately disappointing.

In conclusion, Piglet is the weakest entry yet in this growing subgenre of twisted fairy tale horror. I'd score it a 3/10.

When I sat down to watch the 2025 horror movie "Piglet", I have to admit that I was harboring very, very low expectations to the movie. Yeah, I wasn't exactly overly keen on the 2023 movie "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey" nor the 2024 movie "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey II". But still, since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to check it out.

The movie was watchable, I will give it that much. Sure, you're not in for an evening of stellar entertainment, but were you expecting that from a movie titled "Piglet" and with its premise and synopsis? Hardly so. So yeah, you pretty much would get what you would assume from a movie such as this. And I suppose on that account, then writer Harry Boxley did a fair enough job. It was a rather generic slasher horror script, if you look past the fact that this was supposed to be Piglet.

I was not familiar with the actors and actresses on the cast list. I will say that the acting performances were fair, but nothing outstanding or noteworthy though.

Visually, the movie was semi-okay. There were some special effects that were fair enough, and they helped lift up the otherwise bland narrative.

Would I recommend you to go out and watch "Piglet"? No. Will I ever return to watch it a second time? No.

My rating of director Andrea M. Catinella's 2025 movie "Piglet" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

Hello Piglet, this is not based on the Twisted Childhood Nightmares Trilogy, oh no this is a completely different story of Piglet, the mask looks very similar to 2023's Blood and Honey. You may think that this movie is good, well in my book, it is very underrated film about a big Piglet mask murdering tourists that visit for the week. Well some of them using practical effects and rest of them were done in CG just to fill the rest of the B-horror budget. Dialogue for characters is kinda hear it but not as frequent. The campgrounds manager reveals who he's working with early on the film. Very noticeable. This is very underrated film to the Blood & Honey 4.7/10. Underrated and mediocre.

Piglet is bad. Worse than Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey; worse than Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare; and worse than any of the recent Popeye horror movies. And that's saying something.

I'd assumed that Piglet would take place in the same twisted 'Poohniverse' as Blood and Honey, but it's actually a standalone movie that has nothing to do with Pooh. The killer in this one is simply a man wearing a rubber pig mask that he conveniently finds in a drawer. The lame plot sees this mask-wearing nut-job killing off a group of young women who have rented a cabin in the woods for the weekend.

The script is pure excrement (seeing as it's by the same genius who wrote Popeye's Revenge, that's no real surprise), the direction is weak, and the acting is dreadful. It's hard to tell where the film is supposed to take place: one of the characters talks about moving to Salt Lake City, so it would seem safe to assume that it's America, but the cast are clearly British or Eastern European (they might be attempting American accents, but they ain't fooling anyone). The kills are terrible - unimaginative with pathetic practical effects and plenty of unconvincing CGI blood. And director Andrea M. Catinella even has the audacity to rip-off The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with a really lame dinner table scene, but he's no Tobe Hooper. Not even when Tobe Hooper was crap.

Unfortunately, this trend for subverting childhood favourites seems to be continuing unabated; it's hard to see how they could get any worse than this one, I suppose. I rate Piglet 1/10.

First of all, when I first watched the trailer of the movie I didn't like it and I didn't had high expectations about it. Eventually, I decided to watch it and it was as bad as I had imagined. The movie synopsis was kinda interesting, but it wasn't innovative because there are too many slashers similar to this one. The storyline wasn't well-written, nor well-explained and it was very silly. The characters (group of friends) weren't interesting, nor well-developed and they were annoying AF. The casting choices weren't nice and their performances were bad. The filming location of the movie was only one, just a small cabin into the woods. The killcount of the movie was very bloody and brutal, but the death scenes were so fake and the cgi effects were terrible. I wouldn't consider it a scary movie, nor an intense one because there weren't any jumpscares and chase scenes. The opening scene was predictable, simple and not promising, at all. The 2nd act was very silly and full of death scenes. The ending was absolutely predictable and it was so bad. By the way, the pig's mask was very similar to Winnie the Pooh's mask and it was so cheap. Overall, "Piglet" was a low budget slasher wannabe movie, with some brutal kills, but the editing of the movie was terrible and it was a very silly movie. So, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I hope they won't make a sequel!

A laughable bad film (but not the worst I've seen this year) which is nothing but a bad cabin in the woods slasher with an escape killer who wears a pig masks and kills a bunch of daft women on vacation. Give points to having a mixed bag of different female cannon fodder characters, but unfortunately the script is bonkers bad and the actors just simply work with what they have (which isn't much). Lots of gore scenes badly staged make the film hard to watch and reminded of the bad VHS horror films of the '90s, so if you've seen enjoy those types of horrors then this film is just for you. Slasher fans beware!

This was a film that I got the chance to see thanks to Keir from Strike Media. I was asked if I'd like to check out the screener for review. Originally, I thought this was another installment to the 'Twisted Childhood' Universe. This is actually a stand-alone film, taking on the popular character from 'Winnie the Pooh'. Other than knowing who the character is, this being a 2025 horror film and about this not being a sequel, I came in blind.

Synopsis: on Kate's (Alina Desmond) 21st birthday camping trip, her friends encounter Piglet (Alex Butler), a monstrous human-pig hybrid who brutally murders one of them. They uncover his beast's origins and Kate must confront her past to survive the relentless killer.

We start this by getting a bit of backstory about Piglet. He's chained in the back of a transport vehicle. The driver has to stop to relieve himself. In the back are two security guards. The male tells the women about how this prisoner was the smallest guy in a prison. Then a mad scientist did an experiment on him, making him large and hideous. Piglet gets free, killing the guards in the process.

This then shifts over to our group that are coming out to camp for Kate's birthday. Her sister is Susie (Shayli Regan). There is a 'mean girl' of the group, Judith (Valery Dank), who brought marijuana to smoke for the group. We also have a lesbian couple, Alex (Lauren Staerck) and Dianne (Alina Varakuta). This group arrives and meets with the owner of the camp, Mr. Hogarth (Jeremy Vinogradov).

We know that he's up to no good though. He is guarding Piglet, telling him to pick one of the young women that are coming for the weekend. The rest will be killed and put in the freezer. Mr. Hogarth is annoyed though since he feels Piglet is getting sloppy. He's also going too far, ruining the meat.

Now our group also has another car. Driving this one is Bret (Rory Forder). He's with his girlfriend, Riley (Eva Ray), and her sister, Courtney (Tais Sholvie). It never comes out and says it, but I get the idea that Courtney is autistic. Riley is worried that when their car breaks down, her sister won't walk with them through the woods to the camp. Courtney also wears headphones. This isn't an issue though. They head into the woods. What derails them is that Courtney stops to draw a tree while the couple go off to have sex. They're attacked by Piglet.

Our other group settles in. They start to drink and play games. Something of note is that Kate had an abusive ex-boyfriend that has messed her up. She believes that he'll follow them here. This puts her on edge. It doesn't help that they run into a guy who's out hunting. He warns them not to stay at the camp. There's also another guy who was attacked by Piglet. The police are called and Mr. Hogarth convinces them it was a bear that did it. Officer Burke (Tyler Winchcombe) tends to agree and the women are fine with staying. This decision leads them to a night that they'll never forget.

That is where I'll leave my recap and introduction to the characters. Where I'll start is by stating that the title of this is cheeky. They're clearly capitalizing on the fact that the 'Winnie the Pooh' character of Piglet is in public domain and that Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey along with its sequel are popular. This has nothing to do with any of the characters, source material or anything like that. What we're getting here is a slasher film, with a hulking menace of a killer in a pig mask. I can appreciate these elements for what they are but I wanted this as a disclaimer.

I don't normally like to start with a negative, but I have to say that this film's biggest sin is that it wears its inspirations on its sleeve. The opening reminded me of Jack Frost, the killer snowman movie. Then with our group arriving there are so many slasher films, but it felt almost exactly in line with Blood & Honey. The idea of a killer in a pig mask also feels reminiscent of Motel Hell with shades of Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This just makes it feel a bit generic in what it is doing as an amalgamation of elements. To spin this though, it is entertaining.

Sticking with positives, let's go over the filmmaking aspects. I did think that this was made well enough. I like the isolated location. It is believable that this group of women would get out of the city to celebrate Kate turning 21. Even the jerk, because I know I've gone on trips like this for people that I don't care for since we are still 'friends'. Adding to it Kate has her issues with an ex, so getting away from things fits. The cinematography and framing capture that we're out in the woods, which works. What doesn't though is that this film feels confused as to where it is. It seems like the United States, especially since Susie is moving to Salt Lake City and wants Kate to come with her. A license plate looks like we're in the United Kingdom. Some characters have accents where others don't. These were elements that took me out of the film trying to piece it together.

That did get away from me for a bit but finishing out with filmmaking. The practical effects are great. They go brutally. Piglet uses a hook. That feels taken from In a Violent Nature if I'm honest. Moving up past that, I like what they do with the kills. That is worth watching. The farther we get into it, there is more CGI. The blood spray didn't look good there. It almost feels like it ran out of money so it relied on computers to finish it. What did help though was the soundtrack. It reminded me of Phantasm at times. It almost seems to have screaming or animal noises subtly meshed in. That made me uneasy in the best way possible.

All that is left then would be going over the acting. This is where I'll say it is hit or miss. Butler is great size for Piglet. It makes him menacing without doing much. His mask is cheesy because it is used in Blood & Honey. Doing something a bit different there would help alleviate comparisons. Desmond does well as this unstable character due to past trauma. I like the character growth to overcome what is happening around her. Reagan works as her sister. Staerck, Varakuta, Forder, Sholvie and Ray work to fill out the rest of the group. Vinogradov overacts, but it did make me chuckle. Winchcombe factors back in a way that made me roll my eyes. In general, they're fine for a slasher film like this. They're stock characters that show good fear or are menacing enough for the atmosphere.

In conclusion, this is a fun slasher film. I do think it would be better served to not use the title Piglet. Can't fault them for getting people, like I did, to check this out thinking that it falls in line with the other films that are using classic children's characters and going dark. This film does wear its inspirations on its sleeve. There were so many different things that made me think of other, similar films that made this feel generic. What I'll credit though are the practical effects. The isolated location is built by the cinematography and framing. The acting performances were hit or miss, but still solid enough for a film in this sub-genre. If you're a slasher fan, you probably will enjoy this. I'm just not the audience.

My Rating: 5.5 out of 10.

Heading out to a remote campground, a group of girlfriends hope to use the trip for a series of birthday celebrations within the group, which is soon interrupted by the presence of a mammoth, inhuman killer with a pig mask, killing anyone who enters his territory, including them.

This was a rather solid and enjoyable slasher effort. One of the better aspects of this one is the rather fun storyline that provides quite a nice bit of slashing and other fun antics to come about. The setup in the woods involving the group arriving at a campground retreat in the area to partake in a series of celebrations at the cabins there for a friends' birthday and learning from the caretaker that the area is home to a ravenous killer of local lore who wears a vicious pig-mask sets this one up quite nicely. With the main part involving how the group goes about trying to enjoy the weekend while being slowly abducted and taken away by the killer after escaping from the transport designed to kill him and slaughtering everyone in the woods he comes across as a result of an attempt to capture the most desirable for breeding purposes with his indestructible genetic makeup, this all manages to bring together traditional backwoods brutality with some nice modern touches. That's all matched by the brutality and gore on display, with the kills here being suitably dark and graphic. The sheer hulking size of the masked killer puts a lot of that in motion, as does the main weapon involving a metal hook being rammed into various body parts, creating a series of fun set pieces here. From the screwing couple in the woods, the attack on the friend in the shower, or the abduction out in the woods taking some of them hostage back to their hideout where the real torture starts, the senses here are generally fun involving the overtly graphic outcomes being depicted. It's all generally fun and frantic once the whole thing starts, which is the one minor issue with the film, as there's not much in the way of interest in what's going on as the group goes through the stages of their arrival and hangs around the cabin. The bickering, self-centered troop isn't that interesting to follow, as they misinterpret everything and pick on each other for most of the first half, making it hard to get into this one. With the low budget on display as well, these are what bring it down.
