  • This is Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey The bear's most terrifying movie

A low-budget horror film in which Winnie the Pooh and Piglet go on a brutal killing spree was declared

the worst film of the year

by the Golden Raspberry Awards.

'Winnie the Pooh: Honey and Blood,' with a budget of

less than $250,000

, made international headlines and sparked death threats from angry bear fans last year.

The British film was released following the expiration of the copyright on

A. A. Milne

's books , which opened a window for use of the characters.

Although it seems to have evaded legal action, 'Miel y Sangre' was not saved from the infamous recognition of the Golden Raspberry, also known

as the Razzie

.

In this parody of awards, which highlights the worst in cinema each year, the film took home the categories of

worst picture, worst director and worst screenplay

.

Pooh and Piglet were voted worst screen couple, and the film also took a Razzie for

worst remake, rip-off or sequel

.

Although embarrassing, sweeping the Razzies should not keep director

Rhys Frake-Waterfield

up at night .

His film earned five million dollars at the box office thanks to the global launch it achieved due to the controversy it generated.

A sequel should be released at the end of the month

Frake-Waterfield told AFP last year that he was working on other horror productions based on the

Bambi and Peter Pan

books .

The Golden Raspberries are traditionally announced the day before the Oscars, to satirize Hollywood's big, self-indulgent night.

Jon Voight

, Oscar winner, now won a Razzie for worst actor for the criticized 'Mercy', and

Megan Fox

won worst actress for 'Johnny & Clyde'.

Fox, a frequent Razzie winner, also took home the worst supporting actress award for her role in the action sequel 'The Expendables 4,' which also gave worst supporting actor honors to

Sylvester Stallone

.

The Golden Raspberry Awards were first presented

in 1981

in a hall in Los Angeles.

It is the creation of UCLA graduates and industry veterans, who chose this fruit as a symbol of derision.
