The Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU) is a British film series and shared universe of independent slasher-horror films, each serving as a dark reimagining of various public domain fairy tale media characters. It was conceived and created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, and produced by the filmmaker's Jagged Edge Productions film studio. The movies centres around reimagining beloved childhood characters as horror movie villains.
The franchise's first installment, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, was met with a negative critical reception and a more mixed fan reception, though it turned a profit at the box office. The movie's quality was called into question, with criticisms directed at the script, acting, cinematography, and lack of humor; it also received five Golden Raspberry Awards. In response to this, Frake-Waterfield stated that he is determined to raise the standard with the future movies in the franchise.
