Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, reviewed by Matt Donato.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 doubles down on a smorgasbord of satisfying slasher kills, employing some gumption and gnarliness in pursuit of a sick, twisted, and self-aware horror curveball. Rhys Frake-Waterfield's sequel looks infinitely better – and with ten times the budget, it ought to – but that doesn’t excuse the many flaws it inherited from the first Hundred Acre horror flick. Blood and Honey 2 is a story that craves substance beyond Winnie-the-Pooh decapitating ravers. It boasts a nastier midnight-movie appeal, radical practical effects, and a brisk 90-minute runtime. It’s a shaky first step for Frake-Waterfield’s proposed “Poohniverse” concept – but it’s a step in the right direction.
