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.

First of all, all the 1 out 10 scores and people saying its worse than the 1st are REVIEW BOMBERS!

Right through, im glad movies like this exist. Not cause its a masterpiece (not even close) but its refreshing to see regular peoples ideas with IPs do a 180, this is is a movie that should have never existed, yet it does!

How does this movie feel?

Imagine driving home at 10pm, its rainy and you see a Video Store, you enter and in the back of this dim litted area you see a DVD with no artwork, just a paper with sharpie written "Winne The Pooh: Blood & Honey 2" you rent it cause of curiosity, you watch it in your apartment that night and think "what did I just watch?, is this real?" You talk about it the next day and no one knows what the heck you are talking about. The next day that video store is gone.

Its just...an odd experience that makes you feel you are watching something no one else knows about.

Its watchable for that! Not awful, but maybe if they dedicated at least one more year on the script this could have been really good.

Its more good than it is bad but still not where I know they want to bring thos, I see the vision getting closer, keep going guys. Bring back Eeyore for the 3rd!

Christopher Robin is the main protagonist, that already sets itself apart from the first film, and It was a fun time. They even added more characters. Another glaring issue was the narrator, it just seemed so uninteresting and uninspiring. But these problems have all brushed aside, and it seems much improved here. Maybe I did take the first film too seriously for it's own good, but it isn't a good film. Blood and Honey 2? Yeah, well maybe. So it's time to sit down and talk, about Winnie-The-Pooh 2:Blood and Honey, let's get into the review.

First off it seems more accurate to the beloved childhood toys, where Christopher lives in Ashdown and near the forrest. There's some beutiful imagery of the Town, and there's even a mystery surrounding Christopher's brothers disappearance. Creating for a nice mystery and an interesting scene. Which also shows a highlight in the writing, it's much better. The Character depth is much stronger. Thus making for a more entertaining and exciting watch.

Tigger, Pooh and Friends re-unite. For a chilling experience. Right from the start they take down a few girls in a Caravan. And now they are aiming to take down all of Ashdown and it's citizens but who will stop them, will it be Christopher Robin, or an armed group. No, It'll just be the Police. Who don't look so inept. In most Horror movies the police are played down and aren't very believable, here they seem to be much better. Even trying to search for the Killers. And Tigger using an Iconic quote, "That's my line" sends shivers down anyone's spine.

Christopher has a Job, and his family are heavily involved in the film, this is a good thing because it feels more developed and spends time with our Character in his own universe. His friends who also try to stop Tigger, the flying sourcer (Bird), and Pooh and they do alot of damage to one of his friends. Whilst Robin is now a nurse. And doesn't really have help, apart from the person who talks to him about his horrifying situation.

The good thing about this film is his Brothers story, which is quickly touched upon, it's not a main focus on the film but it does give us some insight on the character of Robin and his parents. And a tragic accident that happened that day, but still pops up in his mind every know and then.

Pooh returns to Christopher's home, where his parents are then killed. The sister, still remains to be alive. It was a strange decision by Pooh. But he does take down the parents, just as Robin's realisation takes him slower to get down to his parent's. And the good thing about this is it raises the stakes, and the emotional impact. The party then becomes a Blood bath. Which creates for an entertaining last half an hour of the film.

The ending is maybe slightly cheap, but I actually enjoyed the bond between the siblings, it more or less felt like a fitting conclusion to the whole family bond presented in the film. And it ends the film on a sweet end to a quite horrific turn of events in 2Hrs and 50 Minutes almost, if you count these two Movies combined. The Problems still the weak character writing, but it isn't as bad here. The costumes do look fine. Underatted, I do like the creature masks. Very cool and stylish.

Would I recommend this film?

Only If your really into your Horror, otherwise you can probably just skip it. 5/10.

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.

Please don't waste your money. You would think with a higher budget they might be able to produce something somewhat palatable but alas it did not deliver (not even close). Some of the worst acting I've ever seen, the costumes are awful, the story itself is just bad and the special effects are so very cheap. The death scenes were lacking as well as any sort of character development or decent plot or twists. I don't know why they thought this would work but it most certainly does not. I've seen some bad horror over the years but this one takes the cake. The only thing 'horror' about this is how horrifically terrible it is. Take my advice and DO NOT waste your time.
