Piglet

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.

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.

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.

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.
