Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood & Honey 2’s Death Count Will Break First Movie’s Record In A Big Way

The death count in Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will break the first movie’s record in a big way. Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, Blood and Honey reimagines Pooh and Piglet as vicious murderers, targeting anyone who enters the Hundred Acre Wood, including a grown-up Christopher Robin. The concept generated a lot of interest among horror aficionados, and although it was poorly received by critics, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was confirmed back in January ahead of the original film’s wide release.

In a recent interview with Variety, Frake-Waterfield teased what kind of death count audiences can expect from Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. The director revealed that “everything’s stepped up massively” in the sequel, adding that there are more than 30 kills. Read Frake-Waterfield’s comments regarding Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2‘s deaths below:

“In comparison to the first film everything’s stepped up massively. It’s a horror film. A lot of the times people are going there for the death scenes and for those elements and we’ve really upped the ante. I think the last time I did a count there was over 30 deaths in the movie, which is quite substantial compared to most movies. I think that’s at least over three times what the first film had and there’s various massacres and stuff. So there’s a lot of blood and a lot of gore.“

How Can Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood & Honey 2 Outdo The First Movie?

Frake-Waterfield previously shared that he would look at Terrifier 2 and its increased violence when making the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey sequel. Given his latest comments, along with everything that happened in the first movie, it’s worth wondering what kind of gruesome deaths await Blood and Honey‘s new characters and how the story will incorporate so many of them while continuing to focus on Christopher Robin. Some of the most memorable and gory scenes involved a wood chipper and a car running over one of the victims’ heads.

Plot details surrounding Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 remain under wraps, but audiences can anticipate more horrifying versions of Christopher’s childhood friends. Images from the upcoming sequel have featured a first look at Tigger and Owl and the return of Piglet, who appeared to be killed in Blood & Honey‘s ending. With a higher budget than its predecessor, Winne-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 can likely do more with these creatures, as they seek to commit bloodshed and insert some scarier effects.

A greater death count should produce a lot of excitement for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. It will be interesting to see how Christopher could potentially defeat Pooh and others, but Frake-Waterfield’s comments suggest that things will only get crazier when they reemerge, giving audiences more to look forward to.
