Having kicked off the 'beloved childhood character turned murderous villain' fever that seems to be gripping Hollywood, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield's Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey shook up the horror genre in 2023.

When asked how he coped with the negative backlash, the director replied, "It's a really strange one for me." Frake-Waterfield tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Dune 2 on the cover: "To be honest, you've got to have a really, really thick skin to be a filmmaker because you get heavily, heavily criticized regardless of the means and the resources you have."
