‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2’ Writer Knows the First Movie Wasn’t Great

The Big Picture March has a handful of exciting horror releases. However, none have genre fans buzzing like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. The sequel to the critically panned slasher take on the beloved children’s icon didn’t fare much better with the horror community itself. That’s despite the internet gravitating towards the project thanks to its blood-soaked nature and out-there costume designs.

In a post to his Instagram where he confirmed he was indeed the writer of Blood and Honey 2, Leslie wrote “The first film... wasn't great. This is how I got involved…”. He would go on to explain that the first film’s composer, Andrew Scott Bell, reached out to him. “Andy is an insanely talented composer who created a wonderful score for the first film. Candidly, it was one of the few bright spots.

Why Did ‘Blood and Honey 2’s Writer Take the Project? Close So, after all that, you might be wondering why Leslie would go on to write the sequel. He would praise Frake-Waterfield for his pure love for film and his passion. Something he could relate to. Plus, despite his concerns, which included the ridiculousness of a killer Pooh and the still small budget, the director’s vision was what drove him to the project.

The job/goal of a sequel should always be focused on improving its original. It would be easy for the filmmakers just to fall back on the box office hit of Blood and Honey and copy it beat for beat. However, that’s why it's refreshing to hear Leslie speak so openly about the first film’s missteps and that Frake-Waterfield was completely on board with making a much better film. The horror genre is flooded with many unnecessary sequels.

When Does ‘Blood and Honey 2’ Release? Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 releases in theaters for a killer three-day event starting on March 26, 2024. You can order tickets now on Fandango’s website, and you can view Leslie’s full post below.
