When the very idea of turning a beloved childrens character into a horror film goes viral and that films becomes a hit then there's only thing that you can do. That being to make a sequel out of it and hope to god that the same success happens this time and given that a third film has already been announced and that the first film is now retroactively the start of a brand new cinematic universe then you just know that the film are on to something and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review that introduces both Owl and Tigger into the series with the film in question being called simply just "Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey 2" enjoy.
The plot of this film is one year after the events of the film Christopher Robin must face his friends again as Pooh and Piglet team up with Owl and Tigger to bring there twisted form of revenge on the unsuspecting town of Ashdown. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty no that bad as it was a step in quality from the plot of this film but at the same time tho this films plot wasn't all that good as it lacks a certain charm that the lot of the first film had in spades as the plot of this film does a very good job of being a self contained plot that is very entertaining in it's own right however tho it's still just a plot that felt like a rip off of the plot of Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends only done on a much smaller budget with the plot of this being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin , Tallulah Evans as Lexy and Ryan Oliva as Winnie-The-Pooh. Also starring in this film is Teresa Banham as Samantha , Alec Newman as Alan Robin , Nicola Wright as Daphne Robin , Thea Evans as Helen "Bunny" Robin , Flynn Matthews as Finn , Toby Wynn-Davies as Dr. Arthur Gallup , Simon Callow as Cavendish , Eddy MacKenzie as Piglet , Marcus Massey as Owl and Lewis Santer as Tigger.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's / actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty alot better then what it had really any right to be. As nobody was expecting this film to have good acting in it infact alot of people would have been expecting to have some really rather bad acting in it and yet we actually got some really good acting in this film with all of the actors really delivering some really rather good performances in this very film with the acting in this film being alot better then the acting that we got in the first film and while the acting in this film is still bad it's still alot better then alot of other small time independent horror films out there with the acting in this film not really by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of the films cast absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does bring down the overall quality of the acting in this film.
This film is now officially the second film of what's being called The Twisted Childhood Universe which is a new cinematic universe that's going to house a bunch of horror films based of off childrens classic characters all of which are leading to there first crossover film which is an Avengers style film called Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.Which just makes all of these bad films both somehow good and yet worse at the exact same time as now we get to see not one but multiple films all fail at the exact same time and we get to see just how this bad cinematic universe could quite possibly fail but at the exact same time tho the very idea of giving all of these weird and strange horror films there own cinematic universe is just so weird that it might just work and while they will never be able to compete with the DC Cinematic Universe or even the Marvel Cinematic Universe it is still interesting to see just how this quite possible cinematic universe could quite possibly take place.
Rather rightfully this film has a much more bigger budget then that of the first film with the first film having a budget of $50,000. With this film having a budget of $533.144 dollars and to this films credit it really does show as not only do both Pooh and Piglet get redesigns that make them look ten times better then how they looked in the previous film but the film now also has more budget to do things like having explosions and creating new characters like Owl and Tigger both of whom do look really good with the best looking out of those two being Owl who just looks really creepy but with that being said tho the previous film has a certain charm to it due to how small that it's budget is as the previous film looked like a film that a group of friends would make where as this film looks like a film that a bunch of soulless people would make both are good yes but there has to be a way to have the charm and cheapness of the first film whilst also having the budget of this film.
For some reason the film does something that's really rather stupid to the backstory of these characters which just doesn't work at all. As it then forces you to question the events of not only the previous film but also the backstory that both films give us and when you do that you'll find that the add on that's in this film just doesn't add up as there's no way that it could have happened without making one of the films characters look really dumb in the process and while fixing continuity is a frequent thing in films as alot of films do go back and either retcon certain things or also add things that change certain things in the continuity however none of those things ever effect what came before nor do they go against what came before where as with this film it goes against everything that was set up in the previous film that it makes it hard to work out or even care about the canon and lore of this universe as it could get changed in a future film.
The very idea of the characters attacking the town that Christopher Robin lives in is a really good idea and it's one that works in this film. However at the same time due to the films still small budget alot of it just can't be as fully realized as it really should have been with there being quite alot of kills that happen of screen and alot of things that are all shot in the dark which makes all of the films sets look exactly the same alot of which would have been fixed if the film had a more larger budget so that we could see alot of the cooler stuff and so that we could see alot of the films sets and when we do get to see alot of the cool stuff in this film it is something that is really cool that makes the whole idea work really well with the idea being helped by the fact that alot of the characters from the Winnie The Pooh books do feel alot more in character then what they did in the previous film with Owl being the smart one of the group with him coming up with alot of the groups plans which works because that's in his character to act like that.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour ad twenty eight minuets and thirty six seconds. Which is the absolutely perfect running time for a film like this one to have as this kind of film really doesn't have alot of plot to really cover a much more longer running time with this running pretty much the bog standard for these films as well and while the film could have been better if it had a much more longer running time as it would have allowed to see more of how people reacted to Christopher Robin after the events of the first film as that was a really interesting idea at the same time tho by doing that it would be stretching the films plot even thinner then what it already is with the plot then being stretched beyond breaking point however if the film was longer it would also allow for the films characters to become more fully developed then what they already are but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then as this is a slasher film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty alot better then what they really had any right to be. As the kills in the first film weren't that good but good for what little money that they had to make the film and with this films getting a biggest budget we get to see alot more really good looking kills but with that being said the films has what could have been it's best and most coolest kill happen off screen for some reason which makes no sense as the film had the budget to show us the kill and yet the makers of this film chose to have what would have been it's most coolest kill happen off screen when it's something that should have bee shown to us on screen in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is alt better then the first film but at the same time it does also suffer from alot of the same issues that the first film also suffered from with this film being a clear example the makers of this new cinematic universe are willing to listen to what the people are telling them and fix issues with there films in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all f the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Horror Film fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , Tenor and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this episode up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
