Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, the second in a series of public domain horror movies known colloquially as The Poohniverse, is now available to rent or buy on Digital...with a twist. This week, Jagged Edge Productions announced that the film is debuting exclusively on Amazon, and for the first little while, will be available exclusively on Prime Video. The slasher sequel arrives from director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and is produced by and stars Scott Chambers. This film is the sequel to writer/director Frake-Waterfield's hit micro-budget film Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey, which gained viral popularity in 2022. In the dark reimagining of the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise, Christopher Robins has grown up and moved on, while Pooh and Piglet grow lonely and disillusioned – and eventually feral man-eating killers. 

"Bigger and Badder. The sequel will feature new creature designs, a new cast, and a high death count," Rhys Frake-Waterfield said when describing the sequel. "However, this time Pooh and friends will be leaving the 100 Acre Wood to take their fight to the quiet community of Ashdown!"
