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.

没有一个让我满意的故事，但是冥婚那个小哥哥很可爱
自制规则，合成一体。
摄影比较考究，整部影片除了第一部分比较出彩外，后面的节奏慢的我直想抠脚趾。
没头没尾的一惊一乍的故事组合。不过这电影让我感觉到韩国老龄化问题一点都不严重😂
密室逃脱、谈恋爱、塑料人和冥婚还挺有意思。
看到30分钟，齿虫患者要牙医脖子时果断弃……现实活着易不易，甭再添噩梦了！
1隧道：杀人犯被鬼魂反杀，或者说又是个车后备箱的鬼故事；2红衣女：校园被排挤的女生自杀，鬼魂去杀欺负她的人；3齿虫：很对我的吓点，前面看的好好的，可惜突然变丧尸故事了，好牵强；4招魂：百合故事，一个死了，活着的招魂，结果被寄生兽一样的死者吞了；5层间噪音：又是类似黑猫的墙内死尸，不过结尾是什么鬼，进入了异时空么；6衣橱：女主的智商不是妥妥的等着被害么，免费的东西要，逃进了厕所还要出来，你不死谁死；7冥婚：男主比较残，好好的找个工作，被配了冥婚；8镜中人：美妆博主的两面性；9人形模特：走诡异风，不过我并不惊讶，也猜到了双眼对视大概率被取走灵魂或者变成人偶；10密室逃脱：故事还蛮有劲的，但结局有点莫名。
很多短小的故事，类似怪奇物语。（寄生虫的part很恶心。
爱美的容貌焦虑女孩被镜子里的鬼害死
粗制滥造的恐怖故事会，想看韩国分段式恐怖片还是推荐《怪奇宅》和《韩国恐怖故事》。这部可看得我太难受了，明明一些恐怖镜头气氛可以营造的更好的，却变成美女演员的个人秀！明明可以让连体娃娃流个血扭个头，明明冥婚那里可以更“贴心”的恐怖。特敷衍的路边摊恐怖片，差评差评
又是一部拍摄导演自身成长环境的电影，可能很多小成本导演处女作都会从这里开始。影片中要拆迁的大厦让生活困顿的人们更窘迫，连看病的钱也筹措不出来导致父亲截肢。这样的岁月也并没有把年轻的男主打倒，这是我喜欢导演处理手法的地方。依然乐观，依然有笑容挂在嘴角。
如果结合一下柬埔寨在红色高棉时期的历史就会对这部片子更有感触了
真的是看了浪費人生兩個小時的電影……就像那種垃圾鬼故事……沒有來龍去脈，只是單純嚇你，可是一點也不恐怖呀。
想到l说旁边的大哥睡着了打呼噜，醒来吐槽一句“1400？”继续睡就想笑。放映结束后前排男生鼓掌声特别大，( ̀⌄ ́)我对这部片倒是没啥感觉…出影厅看到毕赣和安娜，才知道我们是在一个厅看电影呀
一堆零碎老故事， 不吓人看着也乱。有几个极其无聊。
城市化进程中被城市抛下的底层阶级 个体生活面临的亲情友情房子的社会问题而产生的迷茫 最后年轻人为了赚钱依然前赴后继的进入这个吃人的熔炉
短小鬼故事合集，各种老梗+jump scare。这种鬼故事好像很难找出新角度了。
4：一体（招魂）
《怪谈新耳袋》韩国分袋。做得还不错，能用情节与节奏将恐怖氛围渲染到一个峰值，并给观众带来生理或心理上的惊悚。就是少了些细思极恐的余味。
