* * *
[Narrator]: Deep in the 100 acre woods a young boy named Christopher Robin came across some most unusual adolescent creatures…
Cross-breeds who some would describe as abominations.
The creatures introduced themselves as owl, rabbit eeyore, piglet and most importantly, winnie-the-pooh.
With the naivete of youth, Christopher ignored the dangers and befriended them all.
He brought them food, and with each passing day together their bond strengthened and grew.
The days turned to years and with the years came maturity.
Eventually, Christopher had to make the hard decision to leave his friends to attend college to become a doctor requiring them to fend for themselves once more.
[Thunder rumbles]
Then, winter arrived. The nights were deathly cold the land barren and completely devoid of food. One fateful night, on the brink of starvation pooh decided that in order to survive the group must consume one of their dearest friends. And thus, eeyore was no more. The trauma of this act warped the minds of the group. They became feral and developed a hatred to all things human and in particular, Christopher Robin for abandoning them. A pact was made. They renounced their humanity and returned to their animalistic roots… Swearing never to talk again.
Here we are.
Told you it wouldn’t take that long.
Come on, I know exactly where to go now.
You said that two hours ago.
Nearly there, promise.
Ok, one more hour.
One more hour.
If not, we’re turning back.
Ok.
You know, you’re the first person I ever shown this place to.
Oh. And why am I so special?
Why are you so special?
Hmm?
Oh, well, that is because soon we’ll be Christopher and Mary Robin.
I don’t want any secrets between us.
And I certainly don’t want you to think I’m crazy.
I don’t think you’re crazy, Chris.
Ok. Come on.
[She hums a tune]
Do you think I made up those stories?
No, I don’t think you’ve made it all up.
Ok, so you believe me? You believe they exist?
Well, I didn’t say that.
Look… I think you were very young
and your imagination ran wild
and over the years, you’ve convinced yourself of them.
They exist, Mary.
I couldn’t have made all this up.
You don’t need to be ashamed of that.
Lots of people have imaginary friends as children.
They’re not imaginary, Mary.
That strong imagination of yours is what’s made you so successful.
You don’t need to shy away from it.
Why are we even here? Hm?
Why are we even here if you don’t believe me?
Chris…
I don’t think we’re going to find them.
But I’m here to support you.
[Thunder rumbles]
Come on, it’s starting to get a bit late.
Pooh, piglet, eeyore… all of them we were friends for many years and…
And they’re out there.
I know, you’ve told me the stories many times how you would sneak into the kitchen to get them food and how you would play with them for hours and talk to them.
Yes.
This little yellow bear…
This baby pig…
That no one, Chris, not even you has ever seen since.
Maybe you’re right.
I know, I know it’s quite hard to deal with this
but that’s why I came.
You know, in a way, they still exist in you.
[Distant animal cry]
Pooh!
Come on, Mary, it’s them! It’s them!
Christopher!
Pooh!
Christopher, it’s not safe!
This is it. This is it, Mary, we found them.
Christopher, we can’t go in there.
[Thunder rumbles]
This is the place, Mary, but it’s changed.
It can’t be.
It’s barely how I remember it.
[Mary]: This has to be some sort of mistake.
[Christopher]: Oh… pooh.
What happened to you after all these years?
Christopher! We need to leave, now.
Mary…
We really shouldn’t be here.
Mary, I really need to find out what’s happened here, ok?
Come on. Please?
Look, you’re not in any danger, ok? I know them. Alright?
Look, I’m here to protect you.
It’s going to be ok, alright?
I really don’t like this.
Mary, it’s going to be ok. Alright, I promise.
When you see them, it’ll be fine. Come on.
This is our house, Mary.
We used to… We used to play here all the time.
It’s much bigger than I remember.
[Thunder rumbles]
Pooh?
Piglet?
Chris? Is that you?
Yes… but why is it like that?
Why would they do this?
I don’t know.
But this is not safe.
We’re going home.
[Floorboard creaks]
[She gasps]
We have to hide.
We have to hide. Hide!
Chris, hide!
[Door creaks]
[Nearby creak]
[Faint snoring]
[Snoring continues]
[Snoring continues]
[Bird warbles]
Hide… hide.
[Piglet squeals]
Piglet!
Piglet, stop!
Chris!
[Christopher]: Piglet, stop, please!
Please, piglet, stop!
Please, piglet, stop!
[Piglet grunts and squeals]
Stop, please!
Please, Mary! Piglet!
[Neck snaps]
[He sobs]
[Thunder rumbles]
Mary…
[Thunder cracks]
Pooh… Pooh, you need to help me, please.
There’s something wrong with piglet.
He just killed my wife. Please!
Why are you doing this, pooh?
We used to be friends. Why are you doing this, please?
Piglet, I’m so sorry.
I didn’t know any of this would happen.
I thought you’d be ok without me.
Why are you doing this? We used to be friends.
Stop.
Please. I beg you.
I would’ve never left, I swear. I swear. I…
We used to play together as friends.
Remember when we were younger, pooh, we would play…
Why, why are you doing this?
I would’ve never left, I swear! I swear!
Remember when we were younger, pooh? Please…
Stop. Stop.
Stop, pooh…
[Flies buzz]
[Reporter]: Another disappearance in the woods today.
Mutilated body found…
[Reporter 2]: Referred to as the big foot of ashdown forest…
100 acres won’t save you…
[Reporter]: Mutilated body found…
[Reporter 2]: Another disappearance in the woods…
[Reporter]: Don’t go down to the woods today…
[Reporter 2]: A mutilated body has been discovered…
[Reporter]: Don’t go down to the woods today.
[Reporter 2]: New murders at the 100 acre woods…
[Reporter]: 100 acres won’t save you.
I just… I’m not really sure how to explain it.
[Woman]: Well, are you happy that you came to speak to me today?
Yeah.
And why is that?
I don’t want to keep living how I am.
Everywhere I go I’m looking over my shoulder
and I just feel on edge
you know, like, the slightest noise
and… I can just feel my heart racing.
Being aware of how this is affecting your life
and actioning it is a big step.
With every session, you are making good progress.
And, Maria, I am here to help you achieve that.
It’s just…
It feels like nothing has really changed.
You are not in the same situation you were a few months ago.
Yeah.
I know. It’s just hard to adjust.
While I’m at work
in any crowds
I can’t help but feel that he could still be out there.
Have you thought about taking a weekend away?
Go somewhere quiet
disconnect from the busy world
somewhere which might feel safer
and to take your mind off everything that’s happened.
I think it could really help you.
Yeah.
Maybe.
[Zoe]: Two hours?
Seriously, Tina!
[Tina]: I know. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll be there, just…
Right, can you just settle in?
Get some wine, just get the pre-drinks going.
I’ll be there soon.
Honestly, you’d lose your head if it wasn’t attached to your body.
Listen. Listen.
[Zoe giggles]
Right, do you hear that? Ok, that is the door.
Ok, I’m coming. I won’t be long.
Yeah, alright, you flake.
Right, I’ll see you soon.
[Pop music plays in car]
Hello?
Hello?
Hello? Is anyone here?
I don’t think there’s anyone here.
[Distant clatter]
[Man]: Hold on. I’m comin’.
Hi.
Well, how you doin’, girl?
Sorry I couldn’t hear you back there.
No, it’s fine.
I just wanted to ask, the pumps outside, are they working?
Them old things? You seen ’em.
They ain’t been working for years.
You’re looking for gas, you can drive up the road about two miles.
Ok.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
[Horn honks]
[Lara]: Maria, let’s go! Come on!
I see you have some friends out there.
Yeah. Sorry. They’re just a bit impatient.
Ooh! I’m so sorry!
Oh, darling, don’t be silly. My fault.
Here you go.
Oh, aren’t ya sweet.
Sorry again.
Alright. Bye!
Bye.
Bye.
My feet hurt.
One single bug, Zoe, you’re driving me home.
It’s not gonna hurt you, Lara.
I don’t care. They’re disgusting.
Really?
This place is kinda cool, and did you say it has a pool?
Mm! And a barbeque.
Nice.
Well, that pool’s got my name written all over it.
Is that so?
It’s gonna be perfect.
Yeah.
Come on, girls, let’s get inside.
Wow, it’s so nice.
It is.
Oh, my god, this is so cute.
Oh, wow.
God, it’s massive.
Is that the first time you’ve ever said that, Jess?
Alright, girls, do you remember what we agreed?
[Zoe]: Are we actually doing that?
Yeah, that’s the whole point coming here.
If you say so.
You will.
To disconnect, to be at one with nature.
Stop sitting around on Instagram all day.
Lara.
I’m not doing that, Jess.
Yeah, you are.
Come on.
You’re never gonna know it’s gone.
Lara…
Fine, whatever. Fine.
She did it.
Whatever.
She’ll definitely notice it’s gone, as well.
I don’t need it.
And anyway, I’m going to pack.
Dibsy best room.
Ok.
Told ya Tina weren’t coming.
[Lara]: Fashionably late, as always.
The person you are trying to reach is not available.
Please leave your message after the tone.
Hi, it’s me. Can you call me as soon as you get this
cos I have no clue where I’m going.
Is it definitely 100 acre woods, is that the place?
Cos my sat-nav’s telling me to make a u-turn
and I’m so bad at directions.
Call me as soon as you get this cos I have no clue where I am.
[Phone dials]
[Leaves crunch]
[She screams]
[She screams]
[Door rattles]
[Footsteps approach]
[She screams]
No, please!
[She screams]
Please! Please!
No!
Don’t hurt me, please!
[Machinery rumbles]
When did you do all this?
I had it requested before we arrived.
Don’t worry, it didn’t cost too much.
Do you not like it?
It’s just a bit soon.
Right.
I do like it.
I know you care, and I know you’re trying a lot.
[Pop music plays]
♪ Begging for more, for more ♪
♪ cos I got you, yeah you, yeah you ♪
♪ begging for love, mmm ♪
♪ cos I got you, yeah you, yeah you ♪
♪ begging for more, for more ♪
[Jessica]: You sure you want to?
Yeah, it’s fine.
My therapist said it’ll do me some good, anyway.
Alright.
I started to notice things occasionally seemed out of place
you know, like a garden chair next to my window
or footprints in the garden.
What the hell? I never knew that happened to you.
I thought, you know, it was all just in my head
and probably nothing.
Then one night…
I’d woken up to get something to drink
and when I came back to my room
I heard something.
[Faint creak]
Peered through the curtains
just saw these eyes staring straight at me.
And when I screamed, he just ran off.
That’s absolutely disgusting.
I spoke to the police and there was just nothing they could do.
Everything was fine for about a month.
Then in public, I started to feel this unease again
like I was being watched.
Random calls.
Then one night…
I was asleep in my room, alone.
Must’ve been like, 3am.
[Door creaks]
I just heard this noise in the room.
He was inside…
Trying to undress me.
[Scream echoes]
That would proper freak me out.
Lara!
The police found his computer and found loads of me.
I had no idea.
That’s why I didn’t wanna tell you girls cos it just wasn’t my place.
I do feel like I’m getting out a lot better now.
[Flies buzz]
Please.
Please, just stop.
This isn’t you.
This isn’t who I remember.
I… I had to leave.
People wouldn’t understand you, pooh, not like I did.
Please, you have to believe me.
Imagine… imagine what would’ve happened if…
I loved you, pooh.
[He sobs]
I’m so sorry…
[Young Christopher]: I missed you, pooh, silly ol’ bear.
You’re the best bear in all the world.
Nothing can split us up.
I’ll never leave you. Never. I promise.
We’ll grow old together. Together forever.
You’re the best bear in all the world.
I’ll always be with you.
Pooh.
Pooh… oh, please. Don’t.
No, pooh…
[Christopher sobs]
[Whip cracks]
[He yells]
[He cries]
[He wails]
No!
Oh, god…
Oh, god!
Mary!
[He wails]
Mary!

What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Hello?
Hello!
[Music stops]
Are you stalking Maria?
Whatever.
Whatever.
You’re not ruining my holiday, you fat freak.
[Muffled]: Maria?
[Muffled]: Maria!
[Muffled]: Let me go! Let me go!
[Muffled scream] Please don’t!
[Hammer scrapes]
[She screams]
[Muffled]: Please!
[Muffled scream]
[Engine revs]
[Muffled]: Why are you doing this?
[She whimpers]
[Muffled]: Please, please…
[She screams]
[She screams]
Maria!
[She screams]
[Head pops]
[Maria]: What was that?
Was that Lara?
Did she scream?
I think so.
Oh, fuck. Come on. Something must be wrong.
It sounded like a scream.
Maybe Tina’s here.
No, that didn’t sound like Tina.
Should we go and check it out?
Yeah, come on.
Why is this car here?
Something doesn’t feel right, Maria.
Why is the door left open like that?
I’m not sure.
Come on.
Jess…
It’s ok.
What is that!
[They whimper]
Maria, come on!
Maria, we’ve gotta get inside! Maria!
Is that Lara? [She sobs]
Oh, we need to go!
There’s Zoe and…
Lara’s dead.
What?
There’s someone else outside.
Whoever it is probably wrote that.
What the fuck are we supposed to do now?
The front door was open.
They could be inside.
This was done from the outside.
We need to stick together and find a weapon.
Come on, we need to call the police.
[Glass shatters in distance]
[Girls scream]
[Alice]: Zoe, I’m scared.
[Zoe]: I’m scared too, Alice. I’m scared too.
What was that?
I don’t know.
Did you see its face?
[Jessica]: That did not look human.
[Sudden clunk]
[They whimper]
Zoe, I’m really scared…
They’re trying to get in the house.
Try to stay calm. Ok?
We need to find something to defend ourselves with.
The kitchen! Come on, come on!
I’m scared.
We’re gonna get through this. Ok?
Why won’t he leave me alone?
He just keeps following me everywhere I go!
I’m here with you.
You’re not alone. Ok?
Maria, you ok?
She’s ok. She’s just had a moment.
Maria, I need you to pull yourself together.
Whatever is out there, it’s not your stalker.
And it is trying to get inside the house.
Come on.
Lara… she went to the pool, didn’t she, out the back?
Yeah, earlier on.
Oh, god, you don’t think she’s…
Fuck.
I bet she’s left the door open.
Whatever that thing is, it’s out the front.
I’m going to go close the door.
No, you can’t.
[Zoe]: We can’t let it sneak inside.
Zoe, stop.
I’ve got a gun! Let’s go. I’ve got a gun upstairs.
A gun?
Yeah.
I’ve got a gun upstairs in the room.
Come on! Come on!
Wait, I have to think where I put it.
We’ve got to get back to the girls! Hurry. Come on!
Maria, come on!
Where’d I put it?
Ok, we’ve got a torch. We’ll use that.
Ok, I’ve got it. You take that.
Ok.
Ok.
Shh, shh.
He’s inside.
Where do you think Zoe and Alice are?
They might be hiding.
Be as quiet as possible.
We need to get to that door.
We need to shut the door and get back to the girls.
Alice.
I love you.
I love you, too.
[Distant clatter]
Shit.
Do you think it’s inside?
If I tell you to leave, you run out that door as fast as you can.
Zoe, no, I’m coming with you. You’re not leaving me.
[They scream]
[Piglet squeals]
Get away from her! Get away from her!
What’re you doing! Get away from her!
Get away from her, you freak!
[She shrieks]
[Inaudible]
[Inaudible]
Was that Zoe?
I think so.
Come on.
No, Zoe! No!
Zoe!
Maria…
It’s Alice… look!
[They whimper]
Shh, shh.
Oh… here. Here, quiet.
I don’t think they saw us.
Are you sure I shouldn’t just shoot them?
Alice is close and you might hit her.
Let’s follow them for now.
We’ll find an opportunity soon, Maria.
[Distant clatter]
[She sobs]
Alice?
Alice!
Zoe?
Where’s Zoe?
Zoe? Where am I?
Calm down. Calm down. It’s alright.
Those creatures…
We’re gonna get you out of here.
You’re alright.
Hey?
They killed her.
They killed Zoe.
We can’t stay here, Alice.
They could come back at any time.
Ok. Ok.
That’s it. Ok.
Come on.
Keep going.
[Distant scream]
What the fuck was that?
Jessica, if there’s someone else trapped here
we can’t just leave them
not to be killed by those monsters.
Maria, we need to get the fuck out of here.
Wait. What are you doing?
They could be back any minute, ok?
We need to leave now.
[They gasp]
Please help me. Please, you need to help me.
Please, we don’t have much time.
Please help me, please.
Ok.
Are you gonna help! Come on.
Come on! Don’t just stand there!
[They grunt]
[He coughs]
You ok?
[Woman in distance]: Help me!
There’s others. There’s others?
She’s the only one. They brought her in this morning.
Go, help her! I’ll be fine.
But…
There isn’t any time! Just go!
You’re gonna catch up, yeah?
Oh, my god.
Poor woman.
What have they done to her?
Please…
Please help.
What happened to you?
It’s pooh and piglet.
What? I don’t understand. What are “pooh and piglet”?
That’s what they call themselves.
They’re just these disfigured creatures.
Half pig, half bear.
They talk some…
Broken English.
What have they done to you?
Piglet…
He just mauls me whenever he wants.
What, you’ve spoken to them?
Every time I try…
Piglet just mauls me again.
I’m scared to talk.
Please, please, just get me out of here!
You’re ok. Here we are.
[They grunt]
Alright.
Hurry.
Ah…
Ah…
What have they done to me?
Shh!
[She groans]
Please.
[She wails]
Please, stop! Just stop. He’s gonna hear you!
Can you please be quiet? We need to get out of here.
Shh, shh.
[She sobs]
Ok. Ok.
Let them come.
I’m not leaving here until he is dead.
Piglet! Where are you?
Piglet?
Where are you?
I’m here for you.
Come and find me.
She’s mental.
He’s gonna come out.
He’s gonna hear her.
[Gunshot]
[Piglet roars]
There you are, piglet.
Why me?
This is all your fault.
You turned me into a monster.
I’m gonna make you pay…
For what you’ve done to me!
[Gun clicks]
Her gun’s not working.
[Gun clicks]
[Piglet squeals]
Shit…
[She whimpers]
[She screams]
I can’t listen to her screams!
Alice, come on!
[She gasps]
Stay back!
Oh, god!
Stay back.
Alice! Where’s Alice?
I don’t know. Alice!
We have to find her!
Alice!
Stay back!
[They whimper]
[They yell]
Keep going!
Run!
Hurry!
Hurry!
That’s right. Wake up, you piece of shit!
[Piglet snorts]
You’re gonna pay for what you did, you fucking freak!
[Piglet snorts]
You know better than anyone how strong those chains are.
You’re not going anywhere.
Oh, for fuck’s sake.
I don’t think he saw us.
What’s he doing?
Now this is for that poor woman that you mauled.
And this…
This is for what you did to Lara.
And this…
This is for what you did to Zoe.
[She yells]
[Distant squeal]
Sounded like piglet.
[Maria]: Alice…
[She gasps]
[Maria screams]
Alice!
Oh, no!
[They whimper]
Maria, I just need a minute!
Listen, we don’t have a minute! Come on!
Fuck, he’s coming! Come on!
Jess, come on, we need to hurry!
Wait! Wait!
Stop! Help us! Please come here!

Why are you doing this!
Please, please!

[She screams]
[He yells] Why won’t you stop?
It’s me you wanted! Leave her alone!
You’ve hurt enough people, pooh!
Please!
You’re remembering how things were. Right?
You can stop.
The good is still in there, pooh.
You can stop.
I know I caused you a lot of pain.
Just let her go, please.
I’ll stay. I’ll stay. Just take me instead, please.
No, no, you can’t!
He’ll kill you!
You saved me. Now it’s my turn.
Trust me.
Pooh…
Let her go, and I’ll stay with you forever.
Take me instead.
[Croaky voice]: You left.
No!
[Christopher sobs]
[She splutters]
Go!
[He sobs]
