20 Sequels That Brilliantly Fixed Past Mistakes

20. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood And Honey II - From All-Timer Turkey To Actually Alright

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is one of the worst horror movies of the 21st century, maybe even ever. The acting, the direction, the script, those insultingly fake costumes; everything about it is bottom-of-the-barrel awful, but the gimmick of turning Winnie the Pooh into a slasher villain made this an undeserving yet inevitable box-office hit. Unfortunately, this meant we'd be getting more of these. 

Nevertheless, the arrival of the first sequel wasn't the Shakespearean tragedy most expected because, to everyone's shock, it was actually a passable slasher flick. Perhaps calling it good would be a bit of a stretch, as it's still mean-spirited and thinly-plotted, yet it's impossible not to admire the way this movie fixed its predecessor's mistakes. 

Rhys Frake-Waterfield has improved as a director, the special effects and costumes are better, the dialogue isn't clunky, and the characters are likable and well-played, to the extent that there'll be plenty you won't want to see snuff it. It's also headlined by a stronger performance; Scott Chambers takes over the role of Christopher Robin and does far better than Nikolai Leon did in the first film. 

Once again, it's not that great, but it is, all things considered, an OK movie and, considering how irredeemably dreadful the first one was, that is nothing short of a minor miracle.
