I was not a fan of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. The trend of indie filmmakers converting public domain characters into horror movies often results in rushed and uninspired projects. The first film in this series exemplified this problem, feeling more like a gimmick than a well-thought-out movie. However, the filmmakers have significantly improved with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, delivering a much more enjoyable and polished film.

Initially, I was skeptical about this sequel due to my disappointment with the first installment but a friend who also reviews movies, encouraged me to give it a chance. The original felt hastily put together, with a predictable storyline and underdeveloped characters.

In contrast, the sequel demonstrates significant growth. The story is well-crafted and engaging, providing a solid foundation for the horror elements. The filmmakers have taken the time to develop the plot and characters, resulting in a more immersive and enjoyable experience.

As a horror fan, I found this movie to be a lot of fun. The blend of familiar children's characters with dark, horror elements is handled with more care and creativity this time around. The film features inventive scares and a creepy atmosphere that horror enthusiasts will appreciate. It is also does not pull punches with the gore.

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and am excited to see where the filmmakers take this concept next. They have demonstrated growth and potential, suggesting that future installments could be even better. This film has set a higher standard for public domain horror adaptations, proving that with the right approach, these projects can be both innovative and entertaining.

When Milne’s characters meet with “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre”

A year after the massacre at 100 Acre Wood, Winnie is in hiding with his friends and dealing with vigilantes. They decide to take the fight to the nearby village of Ashdown, where Christopher Robin lives, along with his parents and young sister.

The writer/director of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey II” (2024) had ten times the money to work with compared to his first film (which made a huge profit because it only cost $100,000 to make), so it’s no surprise that this film is superior on a technical level. I also liked how everything is explained concerning Winnie, Piglet, Owl and Tigger. The latter two make their debut here and Owl’s depiction is creepily excellent, not to mention utterly brutal. Tigger isn’t revealed until the last act and comes across as wandering off the set of “The Island of Dr. Moreau.”

Tallulah Evans plays Christopher’s potential girlfriend, Lexy, and stands out in the female department. Meanwhile Karolina Ugrenyuk is notable as the Bunny Rave Girl in the last act. Creator Rhys Frake-Waterfield still needs to learn how to shoot women, although he does okay.

It runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot in Ashdown Forest, which is 50 miles south of London in the north section of East Sussex. An overhead shot of Dedham is used (to represent the hamlet of Ashdown), which is located 70 miles northeast of London. The hospital sequences were done at the hospital in Hemel Hempstead, which is northwest of London.
