Last year, the world bore witness to a beloved children’s character getting the slasher treatment after his source book went public domain.  To call Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey a good movie is definitely a stretch.  However, to call Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 a great movie is honestly an understatement.  With ten times the budget, this sequel has better prosthetics, better stunts, a much better … Continue reading “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2” – A Surprise, Meta Masterpiece [Review]
