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.

恶心恐怖的内容，经过隐晦文艺的呈现，以及魔幻的BGM，就能造就一部文艺片。
如在国内观看此片，可把现代城市独居女性的恐男情绪推向一个巅峰。由于男女主颜值过好，恶劣程度稍有减轻。
有笑有泪，非常适合带全家老小去看，边上一大叔小孩都在擦泪
从刻板印象，吃女性消费女性的男权社会，再到最后那位立场被男权同化的妻子，各种比喻。女主动了心被囚禁，男主动了心被反杀，色是祸根啊，还是单身好。中间吃肉是真给我看恶心了……塞包演变态挺带感，我看的拳头都硬了。
坐立难安，完全不知道再拍什么，为了煽情而煽情，溜了溜了
还不错，塞巴斯蒂安演变态还是可以的，剧情不错，走向清奇，斗智的环节还不够具有张力，不是很过瘾。气氛营造和镜头的处理还是很赞。
嗜人医生的恋爱甜剧，够血腥，但是无脑，内容生硬，男主能吃人这么反社会了，为啥还恋爱脑，会被猎物咬掉丁丁？黑女被切了什么没交代，女主的屁股怎么长回来的没交代，黑人小哥来救结果跑了？？？最后那段反杀简直侮辱观众，每次锤变态都锤不死，一次次的逃脱追逐，简直浪费时间，太老套了...全程唯一的亮点大概就是认真做饭的男主，各种食材的特写，精心的制作方法，看的人食指大动，大概宣传人肉好吃才是导演想表达的...
2021看过最烂的电影有了😅 打两星纯纯因为题材和配乐吧。。。
类型不清，血浆片，惊悚片混合还想拍的文艺，结果啥都不彻底，最后的开放式结局真没用。观众好不容易调动起来的好奇心給噎死了……
倒也不是什么新鲜的故事，但选角还不错，384的确有变态的潜质也的确非常charming，女主很漂亮，有一丝丝安妮海瑟薇的神态。
超爽的HE！！molly笑死我啦！！（前一陣子才重溫yyy
又是一部“别靠近男人，会变得不幸”，“吃女人”这种隐喻也是绝了，以及普通人黛西好美啊
时代报告电影 只能这样了吗 就这本子 演员们太不容易了 全靠演员撑 致敬所有演员 辛苦了你们～
6.3(5⃣️)，明明可以成为一部更富恶趣味的R级恐怖喜剧，但利用小清新爱情元素所制造的强行反差的过度使用又让影片失去了本该有的吸引力。扁平是最直白的缺点，中段剧情太过拖拉，毫无必要的冗长磨光了趣味后再进入突然令人激动却草草了事的反杀设计，显然也没有让其在一众主打食人/身体恐怖的类型系列中脱颖而出/ Daisy表演很不错，美女好棒！
Hulu俨然成了迪士尼的限制级频道。body horror的类型赚足了噱头和猎奇感，不过尺度上还是算收敛的，而且故事的推进也缺少惊喜，要隐喻的也不够深刻，就只是个能当爽片看的娱乐片。
表面上看是一部教导女性洁身自爱不要轻易相信陌生人帅哥搭讪的防止恋爱脑宣传片，实际上不还是一部打着旗号的“女权片”么？就连被绑架最后出逃的三位女性也要凑齐黑白黄三色，这对于近两年来受够了好莱坞这种倾向的人来说无疑是一个扣分项，这还没提片中的几位男性角色也被具象化了几种刻板形象。 明明是有着一部非常多内容可以去讲述的电影，却仅仅局限于肉体表面的“缠绵”，影片无力也无意去展开背后肉体生意的种种细节，惊悚感和悬疑感被大打折扣，就连384那位断腿女人的描绘也都浅尝辄止。这就让这样一部无论哪里看都像《逃出绝命镇》姊妹篇的《新鲜》成为了一部彻头彻尾的虚名之作，不过想想它背后是Disney也就不足为怪了。
政治非常正确的一部电影。挺好看的，反杀部分很爽，尤其是杀女反派的时候说，就是因为有你这种人，我们才这么艰难。girls help girls. 然后男酒保逃跑是想说明男的都靠不住么，哈哈，导演还蛮女权的
114分钟21秒 24fps 流媒体WEB
虽然是女性导演 也刻意回避了出卖肉体和血浆的传统b级复仇片 试图通过受害者女性角度来描写女性强大韧性的内心 可以随意操控感情但又不轻易发动技能的隐忍 最后的反杀节奏和镜头拍的还算精彩没有掉链子 都整体下来给人感觉是好像有很多内容但又什么都没说
终于看到一个女主能自己在逃生的路上起点作用的片子了 不容易｜女生要强身健体 不要随意坠入爱河！｜结合Tinder诈骗一起食用 效果更佳｜明天就开始锻炼和学会表演
