9/10
MASTERPIECE OF HORROR UNDERGROUND
27 March 2024
The significantly enhanced sets and staging make this film a more immersive and polished experience! With increased financial resources, Scott and Rhys promise much more beautiful and meticulously crafted films for the future of their universe.

In WTP B&H 2, the death scenes are delightful, quite gory, well-shot, well-acted, and obviously better than in the first film (which was already quite good for the budget).

As for the dialogues, they are much more engaging, better written, and better executed, thanks to a talented cast including Scott Chambers (Jeffrey), Simon Callow, Ryan Oliva as Winnie, Eddy MacKenzie as Piglet, Marcus Massey as Mr. Owl, and Lewis Santers as Tigger, all delivering exceptional performances in their respective roles.

The dialogues, like those of Tigger, are both amusing, uninhibited, and very chilling... and it works perfectly! It's a perfect balance. For the character of Piglet, it's a solid acting performance despite limited screen time...

Nicola Wright, in the role of Christopher Robin's mother, is absolutely incredible. She brings a funny, simple, and light touch to the character!

Special mention to Peter DeSouza-Feighoney, who brilliantly portrays a young Winnie the Pooh. At just 12 years old, his performance is absolutely fascinating! He manages to capture the innocence and curiosity of our favorite yellow bear, while adding a touch of animosity and disdain for storyline reasons.

His character offers a unique perspective to see Winnie through his ages and desires... Unfortunately, there is officially no storyline arc centered around the character of Tigger.

However, despite this shortcoming, the 1 hour 40 minute film passes by very quickly, almost too quickly. You really don't want it to end!

Despite this speed, the film still manages to successfully address sensitive topics, demonstrating its ability to captivate the audience and generate interest even in the absence of specific character development.

Andrew Scott Bell's music is undeniably one of the film's major strengths. With carefully crafted composition, Andrew manages to perfectly capture the essence and atmosphere of each scene, adding an extra dimension to the cinematic experience.

His haunting melodies and subtle arrangements help reinforce the emotions conveyed on screen, whether it's suspense, tenderness, or even action.

Thanks to his musical talent, Bell fully immerses the viewer in the world of "Winnie The Pooh Blood And Honey 2", making the soundtrack an essential element of this cinematic work.

"Winnie The Pooh Blood And Honey 2" offers a captivating cinematic experience with enhanced sets and staging, as well as remarkable performances by the actors. Despite the absence of a dedicated storyline arc for the character of Tigger, the film successfully addresses sensitive topics.

Note: Yes, there is a post-credits scene. I won't say more.
