Now they’ve roped Tigger and Owl into this mess.
proved an indie horror hit. Thus, the world will now be subjected to additional entries in what British writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and production companies Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios have dubbed the “Twisted Childhood Universe,” which aims to bring together various iconic children’s-lit characters who have entered the public domain and, consequently, are fair game for juvenile schlockmeisters.
title primarily suggests multiple dirty puns. Yet before that undoubtedly Z-grade effort materializes, Frake-Waterfield continues expanding his A.A. Milne-inspired series with, a sequel that ups the ante in virtually every way—none of them good., which is now in theaters, boasts a bigger budget, higher production values, and an entirely new cast. Alas, when it comes to the things that matter most—like writing, directing, and acting—it’s as chintzy and inept as its predecessor.
Per tradition, the scene is set by an animated prologue which explains that, in the aftermath of the preceding film’s “Hundred Acre Wood Massacre,” the murderous Pooh and Piglet have sought out old compatriots Owl and Tigger to try to survive an Ashdown community that’s torn between disbelieving they exist and wanting them exterminated with extreme prejudice.
Women have long borne the brunt of horror movie pain and suffering, and yet rarely with the off-putting cruelty on display here. The few men targeted by Pooh and his buddies all perish swiftly and/or off-screen, whereas women are dispatched in money-shot close-ups that gleefully highlight their limbs being broken, their faces being bludgeoned by blunt-object weapons, and their mouths being impaled with rods, blades, or, in one case, their own severed arm.
An illustrated end-credits sequence, meanwhile, delivers glimpses of upcoming Twisted Childhood Universe installments involving Bambi, Pinocchio, and Peter Pan—teases that, in light of this endeavor’s wretchedness, feel like guarantees of future misery.
