Verdict on Piglet
Recap
The movie follows a group of friends as they plan a weekend party. However, they discover a masked killer is waiting in the woods to pick them off one by one. It becomes a race to survive the killer and his creator.
Best Parts
When it comes to slasher movies, we are expecting bloody, violent kills. This delivers that and doesn’t hold back on any of them. It fits the Winnie-the-Pooh universe (Even though it isn’t connected), which has been gaining traction in the slasher world in recent years.
Worst Parts
This falls into the typical slasher tropes, splitting up, the traditional more innocent final girl. Elsewhere, the script isn’t the deepest as we don’t learn too much from the main cast of characters.
Final Thoughts –Piglet is a typical late-night slasher.
