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.

形式大于内容的歌舞mv，视觉听觉风格浓郁都超过了故事本身的冲突和人物的刻画%但是2个女主的美真是被服化道衬托得不可方物啊1。托马辛·麦肯齐 Thomasin McKenzie没输给给安雅。
前半段太惊艳了，比鬼更恐怖的是嫖客，后半段直接整了个烂活，正义使者变恶魔，真正的恶魔反而成无辜者，张力全无，太可惜了。。。。。安雅真是女神，演技美貌都很绝
这也太好看了吧...没想到现在的retro都是80年代都不够用的，得60年代才能解决问题了。音乐1000分了...奥斯卡不看着办吗？？？
已经是十年前的歪小子了
电影前半段很精彩，对60年代old fashioned的音乐、服装精彩的生活很带感。
看评论很多人不满意。我倒是更尊重埃德加赖特了。女性的控诉在大家看来如此的“老套 无聊 无趣”不知道还以为我们已经活在了理想世界。多看看新闻吧朋友们。
Edgar Wright新作。前半部分还挺不错的，后面有点崩了，女主神经叨叨的看的很烦。
不看分类还以为是个午夜巴黎，结果看完了才发现是个反杀版前程似锦的女孩，就，虽然是我的问题但还是很地铁老人手机
画面四星，但故事就三星半，也可能是我没看懂。。。一开始以为安雅是女主的分身结果不是，然后我又以为是她妈，也不对，看到结局的时候才想起安雅第一次报地址的时候已经说明了身份了。。。（但是还是没太get这个故事要说个啥。。。）PS女主和安雅仔细看真的有点像！神奇。另黑人小哥演的好做作。。。
我觉得蛮好，我看你们这些打两星的人就是希区柯克看多了！
开场的歌舞和光影很惊艳，然后是一段平缓的麦肯齐求学受排挤的过程。到了夜晚奇幻的部分，麦肯齐和安雅的“镜像”处理的很巧妙，配合着色调和光影在舞蹈中两个人在一镜里频繁切换，仿佛时光在过去与现在不停的穿梭。至此影片除了那些old school歌曲和60年代的英伦场景，再无惊人的亮点。安雅饰演的傻白甜明星梦的设定不管是过去还是现在，注定是一场悲剧的娱乐圈的血肉史。而麦肯齐现实这条线直至影片过了三分之二还依然在铺垫悬疑感，自始至终的把人设往精分的方向引导。最后两线的交叉趣味性越来越低，结局也差强人意，确实没想到，但也没惊喜感。影片虽然有灵异现象还算不上恐怖片，主要以悬疑为主，惊悚成分除了那些无脸男，黑人小哥也贡献了一份力。
前半段太惊艳了，比鬼更恐怖的是嫖客，后半段直接整了个烂活，正义使者变恶魔，真正的恶魔反而成无辜者，张力全无，太可惜了。。。。。安雅真是女神，演技美貌都很绝
埃德加的趣味和可爱荡然全无
镜子与影子，猎奇大于疼痛，类型语言花里胡哨，作者标志也很模糊。
后段连环反转十分漂亮，确实被前期的暗示骗到了，后边直接180度大反转，精彩！而且反转合理，前边也都有细节伏笔。缺点是前半段代入感有点差，节奏也有点拖。
既不恐怖，也不够悬疑，对女性主义的诠释也仅仅浮于表面
以恐怖悬疑片的形式，来包装一个怀旧片，满片的六十年代歌曲，像极一个大MV。而贯穿全剧的各种元素，就是一部可笑的大杂烩，更是令人生厌。片中有一句台词还不错：旧时代伦敦的味道，已经渗透到每一堵墙壁之中。确实。
就是感觉好乱，女主不敢睡觉，脸色惨白顶着大黑眼圈到处跑，二次出租车没撞到，第三次老头却被撞死了。。。
黑人男孩换掉不香吗？剪辑棒，视觉炫，特技运用不动声色，美术等各项技术指标均不错，包括节奏控制，值得国产惊恐片学习借鉴，但令人瞠目结舌的烂尾很意外。主题“不要依附男人，一切靠自己”的表达清晰，但老太太反转来得生硬，大跌眼镜，因为是成熟导演的作品，要求就自然期许更高，所以4星减2星！尽管第2天还专门导入剪辑台又拉了一遍，再次欣赏可圈可点处，但还是因为最后的反转处理弱鸡，活生生的把老太本值得同情的悲剧角色搞成恶魔，成了简单粗暴的女权杀戮爽片，还有亚历克斯的一句话加一个耳光把老太扇清醒处直接看笑喷，一部被第3幕毁掉的好电影。 6.8/27K 【IMdb7.2/75K 预算4300万美元，北美票房1012.7万美元，全球票房2295.7万美元 】
视听真不错，全程不同歌曲作为背景音乐，各种场景镜头转换无缝衔接，感同身受的经历60年代女主的故事。对称镜子让两个场景重叠，惊悚感很好，特别是睁眼到现实后，一转折原来还没脱离梦境。最后结尾有反转，但略无味。
