Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2

Compared to the first movie, this movie is a dramatic improvement. The first movie had an identity crisis; it didn't know what it wanted to be. It was split between telling a story recognizable (albeit turned dark) to the source material and being a generic slasher. As a result, we ended up with the first ten minutes of the movie being surprisingly interesting, creepy, and engaging while the rest of the film felt simple, unthoughtful, and frankly not scary at all.

This movie throws all that aside. Instead of trying to tell a clear "Winnie-the-Pooh" story and getting lost when that theme inherently doesn't work for an extended storyline, it takes the characters (and to some extent the settings) of Winnie-the-Pooh and simply tries to make a slasher. You don't need to have any personal connection to Winnie-the-Pooh for this film to be decent. It has about as much plot as a slasher needs (which while minimal is significantly more than the first), the killings are adequately brutal, and you actually care (at least a little) about the characters. While I was still left with some disappointment over how certain plot points were explained, it was altogether not bad.

While I think this was actually a solid slasher film, there is only so high of a score a slasher film will get. It was enjoyable, but certainly not the epitome of horror, but is worth a watch if you are into the genre. Excited for part 3.

In Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, there are some things that are better than the original. But despite that, the movie remains below normal rqgarding its level.

In the movie, I praised the story and the more elements and revelations it has than the original, visual and sound effects, which were a lot better than the first installment, screenplay, cinematography, and ending, which paves the way for the next films in the Twisted Childhood Universe.

But the other elements, like the performances of the cast, soundtrack, and direction were very normal, even below than normal. Even the elements that I praised, although they are better in this installment than the first one, they did not reach an excellent level like the movies of these days. That is why when it comes to the score, I give Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 5 out of 10.

I am not sure what the people who gave this movie a 9 or 10 are smoking. This movie is utter garbage. The first one was bad yes but the second one isn't better. Does a higher body count equal a better movie? Seems like a lot of people think so. Sure this is a low-budget movie like the first one but a bad movie is a bad movie regardless of budget. The acting is a touch better but that hardly makes up for the rest of it. The special effects are not great, the music is bad and the story is bad. A movie like this even having a "story" is laughable at best. The kills aren't even creative either. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey II is a huge improvement in every single way. Obviously, this one has a bigger budget (around 330k in comparison to the meagre 50k for the original) but it really does show. For starters, the creatures no longer look like they are just Halloween masks, they actually do resemble actual hybrid creatures with proper movements thanks to the excellent prosthetics. The acting has massively improved too, with Scott Chambers the new Christopher Robin (he is a standout I must say), Tallulah Evans is great too, and also a turn from established British actor, Simon Callow. There's also a decent story here now as well. The team behind the original have joined up with Matt Leslie, who wrote the brilliant Summer Of '84 and created a very interesting premise for the Pooh universe to expand and bring in further characters for the upcoming Poohniverse which has recently been teased!

There's a hell of a lot crammed in to the 85 minute run time. An interesting story, but there's a lot of fun too! Great set pieces, include a rave scene in which Pooh and friends slice and dice their way through a host of party goers. There's a lot of gore here too, mostly practical, but a bit of CGI too (probably down to the still relatively low budget).

All in all, I had a great time with this. The team need praise for actually showing resilience to come back from the pounding they took from the first one to actually learn from the criticism and come back to make something that is as good as this.

Horror fans should enjoy this, and I'd advise trying to see it in a cinema with like-minded fans for the best experience!

This is by no stretch of the imagination the best horror film ever made, but it's also by no stretch of the imagination the worst horror film ever made. If you enjoy slasher horror films, you will definitely get a kick out of this (think Saw, I Spit On Your Grave, Hostel- or anything by Eli Roth really, if you enjoy those, check this out). It includes a couple of twists that keep the story engaging enough for the run time, and it avoids following the same formula as the first film. There are a couple of comedic lines/scenes, as is to be expected. However, it's mostly an on par slasher horror film, that uses its exisiting characters creatively, and the new ones sparingly to keep them interesting. The writing, directing and acting is not Oscar worthy, but it is definitely better than a lot of what is being put out right now. Despite the amusing and silly premise of Winnie the Pooh slaughtering people, this film is surprisingly entertaining. It delivers on what it promises, quality time with your mates without bending the mind! If you grab a couple beers, I'm sure you won't hate this. Just remember to appreciate it for what it is. It's not trying to win awards. It's trying to entertain you.
