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.

前一半很好，明亮的画面配上诡异的氛围，不适感营造的非常有感觉。后一半的展开很神，强烈的个人风格化，隐喻我也能体会到，但整体还是不大喜欢，拍的太虚太抽象了。另外，杰西.巴克利女士的表演依然很出彩，展现了一个演技好的人演传统意义的恐怖片是什么样子的。

太难看了，就这还要搞个grey man宇宙，罗素兄弟你去看看病吧你！
我爱加兰。加兰至此完成了我心目中对嘴巴、yc、伤口的统一，无论是形态还是功能上的。女性心理呈现到位，女性一点点的问题都被放大到可以危及生命。恐怖片没神没鬼的，最后都是内心在作祟，她知道自己有些苛责了，但人也不是她推下去的，可毕竟这么大一件事，是需要有一个三幕剧式的内心起伏，还要有一而往复的内心拉扯。那么多男人完成了亡夫的多面人格。信号不好的房间，回音洞，蒲公英，树脸，小苹果树，两半的手，金发女郎面具，男女同体的石像。女友最后大着肚子出现还让我挺意外的。

上次看到生孩子还是一个日本的极道恐怖大剧场 牛头，感觉导演是不是从那得到了”灵感”。
所有的特征最终都汇聚到丈夫身上，导演却用一种男性生育过程来表现，我觉得女主是借男性的身体来排出自己的恐惧和怨恨，是为了找到那个另自己消化不良的源头，但拍出来却多了层孵化的意味，让步于感官上的痛感。
到处都是Jason Bourne的影子，高司令也没有NWR指导下的惊艳，一具空壳。
五星佳作。立意好，执行棒，能把「女性所处的世界」这一概念做成这样的沉浸式恐怖游戏，佩服。声音设计有call back，制造了新的恐怖桥段。相比之下，其他女性题材的影视作品就显得隔靴搔痒。
大家要带着艺术的心态去看这部厌男杰作（男导演拍厌男深入骨髓哈哈哈哈）它几乎将现实生活里女性对男性的厌恶、恐惧、憎恶全部以邪典的形式具象化了。男性至死是少年、男性至死爱当爹、男性天生就抱团。
这个班底怎么看都是爆款制造机，高司令，克里斯，阿玛斯，这样的阵容却没有一点火花…每个片段都不算太差，但是连在一起竟然平庸到毫无印象，穿越机镜头也是每每让人出戏。
13亿的真金白银花下去 还是勉强能看的 今年目前为止最好的动作电影了
网飞的大数据爽片，没啥好说的，只能感叹现在AI写剧本越来越厉害了（狗头
PS
文本比较低级，隐喻甩在脸上，不过作为恐怖片倒是还行，也有足够cult的场面让人回味。加兰还是更适合拍科幻恐怖题材。现在回想起来《湮灭》能引进简直像是奇迹——还拿下六千万票房！
“男人没一个好东西”之自我繁殖版。前半部分有多清新，后半部分就有多恶心。看得我一个男人都开始厌男了好家伙！ps细节：片中除了女主丈夫之外，其他所有男性角色都是一张脸，让男宝的自我繁殖更加合理化了。
有时候，越是强调一些事情，越是会让人忽略一些事情。以及，看了这片谁会不渴望拥有那辆贼猛的Audi呢🥺
多国取景经常被视作是大片的标配，但是并非服务于剧情的过度的多国取景就是在卖弄和烧钱。本片就是如此，感觉好像不将网飞的2亿美元烧光就对不起网飞的大手笔投资似的，剧情几分钟就要换个国家，乱七八糟，毫无必要。如果将多国取景的钱省下来多拍几场血脉贲张的动作戏，岂不更好。我非常反感所谓的“大片”不好好讲故事而玩弄多国取景。
格斗不够真实...除此之外不错, 动作片奇缺的时代, 我们还能期待比这个更好的么? 高司令花了大量时间练肌肉了....
