In the past, the rambunctious Tigger was absent from the original film due to copyright restrictions. However, as January 2024 marks his entry into the public domain, the makers are set to integrate him into the horror-filled woods. Producer Scott Jeffrey provided some chilling insights into Tigger’s role, saying, “Tigger is incredibly violent. He loves to torture his victims before killing them.”
What’s more intriguing is the amplified budget for the sequel, which promises a visual spectacle for fans of the horror genre. Jeffrey further stated that with the heightened budget, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield is gearing up to produce a “shocking, explosive and gore-filled movie.” He confidently added, “I truly think people will really dig what we are creating.”

The film’s ensemble cast comprises talents like Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin, Simon Callow as Cavendish, Ryan Olivia as the titular Winnie-The-Pooh, and Peter DeSouza-Feighoney portraying a young Pooh. Production is currently in full swing, with more familiar faces from the Hundred Acre Wood rumored to join the macabre storyline.
Despite the buzz the original Blood and Honey film generated due to its unconventional take on a beloved classic, it faced criticism for being “an underbaked, low-budget horror blunder that’s rougher than sandpaper.” With the promise of an upgraded sequel, fans and critics alike are eager to see if the second installment can redress the first’s shortcomings.
Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield teases a sinister cinematic universe in the making, suggesting that iconic childhood tales might face a similar dark reimagination. Only time will tell if this horror trend will set a new standard or merely remain an audacious experiment in storytelling.
