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.

氛围营造得不错，叙事结构太差，催眠效果一绝。
这怪物明明神出鬼没 遇到女主就傻了 站着不动让女主戳 挖心脏那里看笑了 女主在捅棉花吗？
好无聊我的天！！被无聊到震撼了，预告片比正片好看百倍，甚至可以说正片把预告毁了
可算明白了，这电影烂在结尾上，当着哥哥的面弄死他爸他弟是吧？？？完全不理解，结尾之前其实还算可以一看的程度，但是结尾给整个片子糊上了一坨屎。还有中间医院老师姐弟牵着卢卡斯三人并排走的那段慢镜头给我看笑了
5.6怎么拍的，这居然和我想的一毛一样，氛围感不错，但还是烂俗恐怖片。
虽然是个惊悚片，但是我特别喜欢美国的乡镇生活。我在朱诺和劳德代尔县城生活过几年，陌生人之间相处起来都像是亲戚一样。唯一坏处是没有车真的是不方便，去一趟沃尔玛要开20分钟的车。不知道为什么超市都要开在更远的远郊。
阴冷的色调和还算不错的摄影算是仅有的体面了，剧情薄弱，节奏缓慢，对鹿魔的形象一直藏着掖着，氛围没带起来，到了结尾也是草率收尾。
莫名其妙，要是不冲着鹿首精，鬼看这烂片，感情这鹿首精也是女权主义者，碰到男的变成叶问，来一个秒一个，碰到女的站着被捅，简直了。人物真这么设计，麻烦学学异形2好嘛，大女主样板戏那么多年了，没个学的像样的
前半段铺垫让人难熬中期待，从警察在小屋发现尸体就开始莫名其妙了，女主弑父算是高潮了 从她对手无缚鸡之力的鹿魔挥动棍子开始，之前还是分钟秒杀各个男性的反派，到女主这里就萎了，导演牛逼！
女主太过圣母心，消灭怪兽时候也是战斗力爆表，怪物被消灭的太无声无息，整体就是感觉没讲什么故事吧……
虽然摄影调度都是喜欢的风格，始终如一的冷冽寂静，但是本子改得有点一言难尽，给女主额外加的戏基本上都得扣分，更不用说最期待的怪物设定了。很可能有续集，但愿可以从民俗的角度多展开一下吧。
这看起来就像是在疫情期间找了一堆没事干的演员，拍了一个长达两个小时的即兴表演
很早以前就开始关注鹿角了，跟想象中的还是有一定差距。
十分套路的恐怖剧，也就是看了前面十几分钟就能猜到后面的剧情，也不是说拍的不好，也不是说演技不好，小男孩演技十分好，but就是没有新意，欧美这种怪兽剧太多太多太多了，一看就知道接下来会发生什么，就好像第一个塑料制品是惊艳世界的，后面的复制只配得到廉价两个字
期待了挺久 但是真的挺一般的 没有新意也没有亮点 表现平平 三星水平
单纯看到封面有David Duchovny进去叨扰了一下 啊真的不好意思（辣眼电影Orz 能集齐那么多男神真厉害啊
和小青一起看。邪恶力量里面的windigo不吓人actually。
预告片比正片好看，悬疑气氛不足，借用神话也没有啥特别的发挥，最后，挺小打小闹的！
还行，小演员表演出色，只是女教师追杀到矿井深处手刃妖灵连带斩草除根实在有点过了，好歹这怪也轻易杀了数条汉子，凭什么女主就套上了猎魔人buff？至于女主家庭暴力虐待这类背景都不用细究，当灵异鬼片看就行
最值得表扬的一点，倒地后还记得补刀了！还有这简直就是女超人
