The second horror Winnie the Pooh looks better, but the rest still needs work.
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the sequel to the first Winnie the Pooh horror release. This sequel is directed, partly written and produced by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the director of last year's first horror version of Winnie the Pooh.
After Christopher Robin (Scott Chambers) tries to prove that they really exist after his previous adventures with his old fantasy friends, their peace is disturbed by others.
As a result, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Owl and even Tigger have come more out of the shadows. They are looking for Christopher Robin out of revenge, but have no mercy for other people they encounter.
When the rights to Winnie the Pooh became public, people quickly made a horror movie version of it and released it last year. Because it was made on a low film budget, it quickly became a financial success, allowing for good money. They've improved the way things look, like the costumes and the blood effects. The costumes of the actors playing Winnie the Pooh and the other fanatical friends look a bit more creative and realistic.
Despite these advantages, the rest of the quality is unfortunately somewhat disappointing. Fortunately, the images are no longer so moving. Most of the murders in the film are shown too zoomed in. As a result, you often cannot see exactly what Pooh and his friends do to their victims. Towards the end they show this a little more clearly, but then you often see that everything is fake and that they stab dolls with their fake weapons, or attack further. You can also see where they used CGI, especially if you look closely when Tigger's tail can be seen in the film. This inferior quality almost unintentionally makes the film more comical than scary or exciting.
In addition to the murders, the story surrounding Christopher Robin is also a bit long-winded and uninteresting. Ultimately, if the movie had been more about Pooh and his killer friends, it could have been a little more entertaining. The backstory of Christopher Robin and his fantasy friends didn't have to be told this way. They could have kept it closer to the story of the first film.
They also try to fill the film with silly and even meta-humor, but unfortunately this doesn't really work as a comedy and it remains rather on the boring side.
After this film, the film crew will continue with other horror versions of well-known fantasy stories, in order to create their own film universe.
