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.

porn+cult？a24真是特立独行。欲求不满的老太太真可怕。——方舱观影1
从各个层面都平平无奇的一部片，既不horny也不scared，视听也乏味可陈，哦，致敬了德州电锯，so what？
拍色情片就好好拍色情片，拍slasher就好好拍slasher，不要搞什么剧情啊拔高啊真没劲……看完没感觉关注无性老年人，感觉是恶魔化老年人呢，反正这俩老变态给我恶心到了
衰老的躯体，不老的情欲，恐怖的是我们都可能老成关爱老年人性生活的模样。
结尾的碾压解恨，选角一股醋酸综合症修复的老a片味道，片子能另观众get到对老人躯体那种由憎恶上升致恐惧的心理，那种因痴呆而无法控制的偏执，导演传达很到位，一边是在性主导的语境下不再单纯的爱，一边是在爱的语境下变了味的性。
⒈前往乡下拍摄“爱情电影”，结果摄像师女友要下海，摄像师想要逃离现实，结果被变态老夫妇杀害，然后像是开启开关一般，虐杀正式开始，最终老头心脏病突发，老妪被卡车碾死，只剩下一个女子逃离；
6.5分。拍个限制动作片都要实景，这是怎么一种专业的精神啊~~~制片人就这么被戳眼杀真的是可惜了~~~本片整体素质一般，作为反派的老头老太绝对真爱了，哈哈~~~PS：黄发女演员死的有点可惜啊，我就在想平时这鳄鱼会吃点啥？？
无论作为一部凶残杀手的电影或是作为一部有着“色情电影拍摄”为噱头的影片，本片的表现都非常让人失望，既没有独特惊艳的剧情发展，风格亦显复沓平庸，看似致敬了日落大道和闪灵，但这两部古早的作品，依旧是当今电影难以攀越的高峰。
前半拍片部分比后面的猎杀要好，前后完全2部电影，通过一个神经病生硬的联系起来
曾经人见人爱美丽动人，如今我已垂垂老矣。你参加两次世界大战，战争无法摧毁你，但是时间也让你暮去。我想要你再操我一次，告诉我我是特别的，哪怕我知道你是在哄骗我。我如此的渴望，衰老和死亡却寸步不让。上帝并不会怜悯我，逝去的容颜不再回来。年轻人要去追寻美国梦了，他们纵情性交享受当下，新的时代即将来临，没有人会记得我。
一群妓女竟然嘲笑老人追求性生活的权利；场务也是能，能在男朋友眼前上场拍片，这就是美国的性自由吗，不过对于一群妓女来说也是无关紧要的事情吧。就像马丁所说的一样，就没有一个好女孩，最起码剧中的都不是。最后西恩没死就是败笔中败笔，纯纯妓女洗白片。
复古风格是够足了，但是虐杀的故事也够老套了。
情色片和恐怖片，看起来完全不搭的类型就这样强行贴在一起实在是艺术感满满。啊人啊年轻的时候还是不要太瘦，这样老了还是可以有点存货的。
大颈动脉喷血到尸首分离；干草叉刺眼；近距离胸腔暴击；鳄鱼的宵夜；回廊冲刺大爆头；车轮碾压头颅成肉泥 … 虽然这部电影也谈不上什么尺度，死亡手段也没啥冲击和新奇，但只要你电影看的够多，就能更加乐在其中，因为它们大多来自早期各种廉价恐怖电影 ～
又一次被外媒评论骗了，又一次被a24的招牌骗了，2小时干点啥不好呢？非要花时间看点这呢？
用惊魂记搭起剧作框架真是太有趣了，挖掘性作为恐怖的核心点也挺好，就是音乐太喧宾夺主了，好几处都是幽暗女声把我差点送走。
荒诞恐怖小小说。主创软磨硬泡好不容易用半部AV把你撩硬了，突然就扎起了刀子，血浆喷涌而出…让微勃猝不及防。
用惊魂记搭起剧作框架真是太有趣了，挖掘性作为恐怖的核心点也挺好，就是音乐太喧宾夺主了，好几处都是幽暗女声把我差点送走。
能看出其对于视听语言的雕琢
