If you remember last year I reviewed a Winnie The Pooh horror film titled Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey, well get ready ladies and gentlemen because… WE HAVE A SEQUEL! Yes, you heard me! A sequel!
I didn’t realise how much of a cult following the first one got, I didn’t even think it warranted a sequel it was that bad, yet somehow Rhys Frake-Waterfield has done it again.
We have new characters, we now have Owl and Tigger, you know Tigger, the bouncy tiger who was so full of energy, well he too is a sadistic psychopathic murdering machine, Owl as well!
I said in the first blood and honey review that this is everything wrong with public domain movies, and blood and honey 2 shows that yet again.
Take a beloved children’s character we have grown up with and turn him into this, a murdering machine, it’s… ridiculous.
Now if you remember I said last year that we are getting a multiverse that literally no one asked for, and one well… we don’t even need, well we have official titles for a Bambi horror film, Bambi: The Reckoning
We also have a Peter Pan horror film, that’s going to be called Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, I wonder if the Lost Boys are going to get revenge on Peter Pan, maybe kidnap Wendy and her brothers, actually the more I think about it… I am actually intrigued as to how that one will pan out (if you pardon the pun)
Now believe it or not but Frake-Waterfield is also thinking of turning other beloved children’s classics in to horror films.
Pinocchio will be getting a horror adaptation, as well as, and no I am not making this up but a Teletubbies horror, I swear to the gods above I am not making that up, he also wants to make a Powerpuff Girls horror.
At this point I want whatever this guy is on, who wakes up in the morning and thinks… “teletubbies… someone needs to make a horror film about them, yeah… that’s a great idea”
I am dreading to think what else he wants to adapt, there are so many beloved children’s classics over here in the UK, if I am being honest… they should not be touched, not now not ever, but deep down I know for a fact that they will indeed be touched.
I hated the first Blood And Honey and for good reason, however the slasher elements were decent to say the least, but damn the kills in this sequel are… they’re really good, I mean they are an improvement to say the least, can’t believe I’m saying this but that was the only decent thing about this sequel, the kills.
The more I think about it and the more i sit here and write about this the more I am intrigued, I am curious as to how this multiverse is going to play out, I mean are you guys not at least one bit curious as to how Bambi, the most adorable little deer can be turned in to a slasher film.
Pinocchio as well, I don’t know why but Pinocchio always gave me the creeps, I can’t explain why, the thought of a puppet that longs to be a real boy and comes to life, like I said I can’t explain it but I just find it creepy.
With all its faults and its flaws, once overlooked it’s not a bad film… I mean you do have to switch your brain off and completely forget who the villains are, but once your there and your completely switched off, it is just another mindless gory slasher film, it’s… not that bad.
Sure I moan and groan about how it’s everything wrong with public domain movies, but as I said once overlooked it’s a pretty decent film, if anything it’s… better than the first.
I can’t believe I just said that!
Sadly it does get a low rating from me, 4/10
Slasher wise yeah great that’s… it, that’s the only redeemable part about this film, as I said once you forget who the villains are and you switch your brain off.
As always until next time, catch ya later 🙂
