Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release earlier this year. So of course we’re getting a sequel – and The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Premiere Entertainment has already secured multiple international distribution deals for this sequel, which will have a substantially larger budget than its predecessor.
A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of last year, and that’s how Frake-Waterfield was able to make this movie happen, no permission required. The filmmaker explained to Variety that Pooh and Piglet (go) on a rampage after being abandoned by a college-bound Christopher Robin. “Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult.

Before going viral with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, writer, director and producer Scott Jeffrey was already tapping classic fairytales, myths and legends for his low-budget British horror companies Jagged Edge Productions and Proportion Productions – taking familiar childhood tropes and turning them on their heads, oftentimes making a bright, cheerful kids thing onto a film of sheer terror. That path has given us killer tooth fairies, evil leprechauns, a demonic cupid, a terrifying Humpty Dumpty and a Hills Have Eyes-esque duo of Jack and Jill… Perennial kid’s nursery rhyme characters turned into a couple of inbred, hillside-dwelling psychopathic killers!
Unfortunately for The Legend of Jack and Jill things fell a little flat thanks to the one-dimensional characters and the fact it wasn’t really that scary.

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of this year – and as soon as that happened, writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield was right there to take advantage of their public domain status. For his feature debut, Frake-Waterfield has dropped the iconic characters of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet into a slasher called Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. A trailer for the film has now been released, and you can watch it in the embed above.
Frake-Waterfield explained to Variety that Pooh and Piglet
(go) on a rampage after being abandoned by a college-bound Christopher Robin. “Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult. Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral. So they’ve gone back to their animal roots.

Proportion Productions are back once again with Another slice of British genre filmmaking with Prototype – not to be confused with the recently released The Prototype – this time focussing on science-fiction (with a horrific edge) in a story set in the very near future, when life-like androids with artificial intelligence have been created to help people with menial household tasks.
The prototype, One, created by Roger Marshall and tested by his family, proves to be popular but flawed. Roger has been working on a new model, Two, whose improved features show promise of its super-human abilities. As tensions rise between Roger and wife Shelley, the androids malfunction and the lives of the whole family are soon in danger of Two’s sinister plans…

What a shocker, another Scott Jeffrey produced horror getting reviewed on Nerdly… I think we must have reviewed at least 80 of Jeffrey’s output across the handful of production companies he has. This time around we’re back in dino territory following Jeffrey’s other Jurassic-themed horrors Dinosaur Hotel and Hatched.
Jurassic Island – not to be confused with the UK release of The Final Level: Escaping Rancala, which debuted on DVD under the same name – tells the story of Ava (Sarah T. Cohen) whose father (Tony Goodall) and his partner (played by Nicola Wright) go missing on the hunt for the titular island. Planning an expedition to find them, Ava enlists the help of boyfriend Luke (Alistair Stoneman), her scientist friends Cassie (Jamila Wingett...

Proportion Productions are back with a slice of apocalyptic horror directed by Rebecca Matthews, flying solo this time without her partner in crime Scott Jeffrey; and writer Tom Joliffe, who some may know from his work on the website Flickering Myth but has also penned a number of British genre films in recent years, including Tooth Fairy: The Last Extraction, The Legend of Jack and Jill and The Leprechaun’s Curse. So we should know what to expect from Reign of Chaos, whose plot seems a bit more extravagant (i.e. larger scale) than the typical Proportion Productions film.
Reign of Chaos sets its stall out from the get-go, with an opening narration that explains that chaos has ravaged earth, literally (its the god Chaos), with a plague of the gods that is overwhelming mankind,...

Beneath the Surface, the new film from directors Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews, the team that gave us The Gardener, Exorcist Vengeance and so many others, begins with scenes of a shark attacking a man and his two daughters. It’s a flashback, one of the many that Lexy has about it.
The film then goes back three months to South Africa and the inquest into the accident that led to her, her father Bill and sister Chloe being in the water and attacked by sharks. Lexy is the only one of the three to survive long enough to be rescued by her boyfriend Isaac (Matthew Marcelis; Camerawoman) and stepmother Vicky.
None of that is a spoiler, because Beneath the Surface isn’t a killer shark movie,...

We’re not five minutes into Charlie Steeds’ new film, Werewolf Castle when he unleashes Wolfstan (Reece Connolly; A Werewolf in England) and his horde of lycanthropes on a Medieval town. They kill everyone they can find, including a young lass who they kill while her lover Thorfinn (Peter Lofsgard; The Mummy) hides.
Three knights Thomas (Greg Draven; Ravenswood), Osmond who is introduced as their fastest rider even though we never actually see them on horseback, Hamelin and the rogue Hal Skullsplitter (Jay O’Connell; The Legend of Jack and Jill) arrive to deal with the problem. But can they, and Thorfinn who is desperate to atone for his cowardice, find a way to stop these creatures?

Spider in the Attic opens with what is one of the best mad scientist lines I’ve heard in a long time. “Idiots! Why discard credible science because of how unethical the research was?” Dr. George Zizerman (Chris Cordell; The Curse of Humpty Dumpty) soon finds out as his research comes back to bite him in the ass, among other places.
Jump forward a bit and Linda Buxton needs something to boost her ratings before her long running radio show gets the axe. Her daughters Lucy and Belle (Chelsea Greenwood; Dinosaur Hotel) tell her about a house owned by a scientist with a history that includes some unorthodox and controversial experiments.
