I watched the UK film 🇬🇧 Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024) in theaters tonight. The plot explores the peculiar connection between Pooh and Christopher Robin, as Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger grow weary of human intrusion into their habitat and decide to embark on a killing spree, leaving Christopher Robin as humanity's only hope.
Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield (known for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey), the cast includes Scott Chambers (Chicken), Tallulah Evans (Son of Rambow), Ryan Oliva (The Convent), Marcus Massey (Bunny the Killer Thing), and Lewis Santer.
This sequel surpasses its predecessor in nearly every aspect. The costumes, sets, kills, and gore are vastly improved, indicating a significant increase in budget. The movie starts off with an always entertaining animated segment. While the acting is average, the relentless stream of kills keeps the audience engaged, with the storyline serving as mere intervals between the next gruesome scene. The introduction of Owl as a new character is a standout, providing depth to the narrative, whereas Tigger's portrayal feels somewhat lackluster. The film maintains its momentum in the first half, falters slightly during a club scene, but quickly recovers with its continuous barrage of kills. There's a huge step up in captivating set designs. Despite its flaws, I'm eager to watch future installments in the series.
In summary, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 delivers non-stop kills from start to finish, with the story serving as air between moments of carnage. I would rate it a 6/10 and recommend it as a must-see for horror enthusiasts.
