Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

我受到了极大的精神震撼。这种制作的恐怖片，这个质感就不一样。最后的事后电影没有呈现，让人有种不爽的感觉。既然过程你塞了一点“科学”的解释进去，为什么不科学到底解释一下这东西当初怎么生出来的吗，采访采访亲妈。||此外，15岁的少女被强奸生下了这个孩子，女主被家暴唤醒了恶魔。拿剑的恶魔加百列。不错。
畸形双胞胎哥哥还好，这个结局女主忽然夺回大脑精神压制未免有点太上帝突兀了吧
后半部B级血浆片可能比较适合全片的调性各种反科学神棍，虽然早早就能猜到走向但也是真的“脑洞大开”了lol。
后半段想象力挺好的，但是就整体套路到3000个好莱坞的级别
跪求温导多导几部恐怖片吧，商业电影人才济济，但恐怖类型除了你我真找不到其他人的电影看了，再三许愿！出来后有些失望，氛围才是你的强项，商业片的血浆看的很多了，7分吧。
不像是2021年拍出的恐怖片，有些BGM太不搭了。。。
还是牛逼啊。倒着走的打斗动作，有点既诡异又飘逸，故事也不错。不过看完才放映过来，能打电话+能控制周围电波，这属于胡扯啊。
后半段想象力挺好的，但是就整体套路到3000个好莱坞的级别
<肿瘤侠>是谁添加的译名，笑死！我的观影疑惑也是在法律层面，这么多人得算是谁杀的？
新瓶装旧酒，双生子，医学实验，连环血案，身世之谜，优点是特效不错，看得爽。
男警探竟然是Janet的老公，之前看康熙好喜欢Janet，竟然能联动起来，感人！
大略看了看自己的觀影記錄 突然明白每週一百多頁的閱讀同學都看完了可我覺得每天都讀了但真就讀不完是為什麼 哈哈哈
看的是無刪減版本，實話，我覺得溫子仁選材這部不太行。。。
视效确实不错，整体流畅 剧情一般....
7/10故事还是十年前流行恐怖题材符合我的口味,但结尾就是好莱坞通病舍不得杀死主人公。
镜头太漂亮。导演是个聪明人，从王牌特工那学的一套环拍打斗技巧又用了一遍，这一次效果明显比海王那次高了不少。
Malignant算是温子仁对恐怖片的新尝试，执导出The Conjuring和Insidious这样的殿堂级恐怖片的温子仁的新作，想必会难免不被拿来作对比；而Malignant也许会让部分高期望的影迷们失望，但对绝大多数恐怖片粉丝而言，本作还是算是足够过瘾的。
Annabelle宇宙的老熟人Annabelle和招魂宇宙的女儿McKenna，猜到又没完全猜到，从鬼片到惊悚片再到砍杀片，各种恐怖片元素融合，有新意但又全是老梗的感觉，温情大团圆嘴炮找回人性的结局也是料想之中，本来以为全部能死光光那倒也是不走寻常路，这个结局只能算不功不过吧。
大约是满地的美剧，随脚一踢踢到那部这样的水准。好吧，看到最后才发现一点新意
前半段还是体现了恐怖大师对镜头和角度运用的高超技艺。但同时逻辑bug也挺多的，加百列能力值忽高忽低，高的时候飞檐走壁一个人凭一把刀可以血洗警察局，低的时候连一个刑警也打不过。双警也是智商不在线，女主到最后甚至忽然变成了肿瘤侠…温导是不是和DC那边窜戏了。
