The sequel to 'Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey' has received a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The first film was a surprise horror box office hit, making $5.2 million on a $100,000 budget. However, it was criticized for being a humorless bloodbath with uncreative kills. The sequel, released on March 26, has improved upon the first film's reviews and currently sits at a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The director had to be careful with what he included in the first film due to copyright restrictions, but the sequel has a more well-realized plot and has been praised for its twisted sense of humor and inclusion of actors who don't suck. The success of 'Blood and Honey 2' bodes well for the planned 'Poohniverse,' which will feature horror versions of beloved children's characters [62030878].

IGN has released a video review of 'Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2' by Matt Donato. The review highlights that the sequel features satisfying slasher kills, improved visuals, and a larger budget. However, it still inherits flaws from the first film. The story aims for substance beyond decapitating ravers, with a midnight-movie appeal, practical effects, and a 90-minute runtime. It is considered a shaky first step for Rhys Frake-Waterfield's proposed 'Poohniverse' concept, but a step in the right direction [01880a25].
