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.

温导这电影其实是一个具备所有superhero元素的超级英雄片，塑造性感帅气的亚裔男主这点比上气还要好，以及西雅图的地下tunnel我们18到19年新年跨年夜去过！！！而且跨年那一分钟是特意断电的！看恐怖片看出了美好回忆是什么体验啊[太开心]hhh 以及温导这种超英恐怖片驾驭得那么好不如去拍黑暗正义联盟算了。对DC又有期待了（并不）
前半段差点弃了，表演和剪辑都有一股粗制滥造的公共台电视剧味儿。没想到最后半小时警署大屠杀注入灵魂，“最美逆行者”大战拉拉帮，欢乐得飞起。这么可爱的B级片质感要是能贯穿始终就好了。
创意、惊悚氛围、音效都非常棒！逻辑不行？看个恐怖片要啥逻辑！
回归中小成本，铅黄氛围，新鲜玩法。双生变体潜移默化。★★★☆/7.5
三星半 缺点前半部分冗长，沉闷，让人纳闷，如果本片是鬼怪片不够奇特，怪竟有实体感。如果是变态虐杀，不够血腥，很多情节又解释不通。，好在后半部分圆回来了。【剧透】【剧透】【剧透】并非精神分裂，实则双生同体，恶体拥有控制电波超能力。这倒使得全片各种情节都挺合理。恶体摄取女主身体及婴儿营养，致流产，夫家暴女主撞墙唤醒恶体，恶体复仇多年前试图切割他的医生。最终女主唤醒记性，妹告知真相婴儿的多次丧失，重夺回大脑控制。
阉割版。某种程度上，也可以算做是一部“温馨的家庭片”吧！
看的下载完整版。感觉很多细节都是斯蒂芬金的情节，包括问题的终极解决法，当然也留了续集空间。好补一下《魔女凯莉》
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。
挺有意思的 连体婴可以被封印 反关节 梦境里杀人 前后联系的不错。 战斗力稍微有点爆表 大杀警局是真的不平衡。 温子仁的恐怖片 还是值得一看。

这叫做商业类恐怖片？就剧本不走脑子的，所以我拒绝加入惊悚的标签，纯粹以血腥和惊叫为根本元素。所以较真了就是作为观众的我不适合看恐怖片呗，所以我不较真，这叫我不喜欢。别说恐怖片的确是最不讨喜的类型片，因为猎奇，人人都想看，人人口味又不一样，总有人骂，这就是我不喜欢的，叫叫叫，砍砍砍，喷喷喷，大概适合喜欢纯视觉恶心类恐怖的，心理上也没什么恐怖的。
以为是个恐怖片，结果和恐怖一点关系都没有 畸形怪胎猎杀的故事 后边感觉就像是游戏CG 超能力直接拉满
近年来难得的有创意的惊悚佳作。一句话剧透：孪生恶魔。
暴力，血腥，惊悚和悬疑度一个不落，个人认为算得上近几年值得推荐的恐怖片之一了。这部片完全可以再次说明温子仁的能力所在，尤其在类型片领域内，他的风格和镜头只属于他自己，尤其是那几场残杀的片段，丝毫不遮掩，那些特定的场景还有杀人手法，带有一种仿佛梦回《电锯惊魂》的凋零破败。一想到温导监制的那几部片子，真想指着那些导演，让他们学学温导是怎么拍的，就算剧情烂一些，说不定还能靠镜头博取些观众的好感。
我胆儿也是肥了，都敢看温导拍的铅黄电影了。

前半段氛围还不错，出人意料，但后半部分就沦为动作片了，温子仁是拍海王上瘾了
同样是心理惊悚片，温子仁还是稳得一b[赞]而且这次升级到动作片了，完整版最后简直血Ｘ暴Ｘ到极致，爽感也到了极致。情节没有大问题，小bug自动脑补呗；节奏和气氛那是驾轻就熟的牛。就是大Boss没有对手，缺些看点。续集应该就会有棋逢对手的戏吧，有点等不及了～
中上水准，恐怖悬疑灵异血腥动作，多种风格杂揉在一起，监狱警局连轴团灭戏份相当重口，心脏不好者真的要慎看。
故事到不新鲜，拍摄手法还是挺多样的，看着也不闷
