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.

悬念铺陈还行，可惜反派设计太蠢了，直接导致女主的反击完全嗨不起来。
比较一般，开头情节比较慢。女主角姐姐Devon（演员是Lisa zhang）最后出现，觉得她好漂亮有女人味。
和乌龙特工差不多的套路，还是熟悉的碎嘴动作喜剧，冒险成长之旅，但不是很理解剧情，为什么多伦多和迈阿密两个杀手，杀配角毫不手软，但却不杀彼此，导致有后顾之忧，为了硬走剧情不合理。
其实挺无聊的，得二倍速，有些地方可以笑一笑。
美国的政治正确真的很严重了，少数族裔挑大梁，白人不是恶魔就是蠢，哈哈，不过片子还行，可以看看
女主算是智商在线，小空间的恐怖片，不功不过。有些段落还挺血腥的
叨逼屌丝+沉默杀手组合的类型喜剧片，至于剧情肯定是乱七八糟，爆米花电影，伍迪演搞笑片还差点，不如塞缪杰克逊，女朋友原来是big boom中的无脑大波妹penny，怪不得脸熟。
中规中矩小成本电影，无脑，略有小趣味。华裔女主演不错。
3.5🌟有反转有惊喜，虽然套路有点老，一下就猜出来了，好在这是为数不多惊悚恐怖片的女主不蠢的，结局有些草率了
反派智商在线，超难对付，女主能活到最后真不容易。
三星半吧。低成本暴风雪山庄式惊悚玩出还不错的一波三折、反转甚至一点小血腥，亚裔女主演技不错智商在线反击也够狠。不过除去女主外的两组人能正好被困在一个休息站里有点牵强。
真心不错，小成本虽老套但有吸引力，女主角演技很棒，也很耐看，越看越漂亮那种，比目前最后的一些亚裔演技要好，看好她。
3.5星！突如其来的事件，自身面临的困境，伴随着伤与痛的经历，封闭的空间与环境构成了人物内在的体验，就像曾经突然离去的父亲与将要离去的母亲以及那一矛盾的姐妹关系。
我以为这部电影会给不断的惊喜，可是它的情节不太考究，导致衔接不够好，情节显得莫名其妙，而且有点老套，都什么年代了，怎么还有信号这么差的地方，而且感觉还没开始打，人就死了，那个妻子后期设定真的没太大用，身份才显就死了。而且女主真的生命力顽强，受了那么多伤还活着，最后再来个强行团圆结局是想怎样。
这种没有营养的片子很适合上公共课看 😃吵闹，也不需要静心
坏人死于话多，一部惊悚片拍的却不让人紧张，就太easy了，不算上佳，但可以看看
观感还行吧，没有大的bug，主角光环、反派死于话多这些俗套还是不可免
紧张的氛围和反转还是不错的，只是细节上有些许bag，不过能理解，值得一看
普通的惊悚故事套路一般。但是没啥太大的问题。女主戒毒中心戒赌。得知母亲脑瘤住院手术。要求医院让自己离开。但是部门表示需要申请手续下周才行。女主表示来不及了。夜深带上螺丝刀工具。带上装备直接溜出戒毒所，溜上车直接疾驰离开。一路导航但是下起了大雪道路封锁。女主在路边收到姐妹短信吐槽女主只会添乱别来了。压力太大。女主甚至拿出了毒品想要吸毒。结果恍惚间幻想到自己吸毒死在车里。这时来了警察，女主惊醒得知下大雪所有道路封锁。女主可以原路返回，或者前往游客中心。女主只好前往游客中心。看到了老黑和老妇女坐一起。以及睡觉的帅小伙还有角落神神叨叨的宅男。大雪天没有信号。老黑表示外面某个地方偶尔有一格信号。女主过去找信号。结果发现一个面包车里绑着一个小女孩。小女孩还有病。情绪激动就会死。女主回去屋里猜测谁是坏人
非常平庸，但是美国人为什么就是不喜欢斩草除根呢！！！
