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.

连续看了两部相似“中邪”题材的恐怖片，一部大陆一部台湾。比《中邪》略优，就这？看得我无动于衷，还行吧哈哈哈？视觉错觉和视觉停留的游戏把玩得不错。发现亚洲恐怖片着重于重口味形象和恶心可怖场面上的塑造。两部片目前竟然同分，都是6.8！（粗略评，晚点正经写）
看恐怖片目的是增加自己的情绪波动 这片做到了 万谢
看伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，过程免不了像吃辣子鸡：挑了半天辣椒，才发现一块鸡肉。抱着这种低期待去看，发现插叙的叙事手段等所制造的迷惑和神秘不安氛围很到位，佛像突然倒装的画面在影院看一定相当震撼。但是很多情节没有解释清，没头没尾。
觉得晦气的是因为你害怕了，你信神灵了，这已经达到这个影片该有的目的了，你却要给他如此低的分数，这逻辑比片中故事还要混乱～
它补全了《灵媒》缺失的那块拼图，即使隐约有融入西方的元素，但自始自终把控得很好，和伪纪录片的许多镜头一样，因为bug少减少了出戏感，从头到尾都能很好的沉浸在故事里。当然这样的故事我们可以有很多的素材，但我们拍得了吗？很好玩的一点是，第一次看恐怖片期待感不来自于惊吓，而是有头有尾的讲一个圆满的故事，很像念书时在寝室床上和室友分享周德东的感觉。
非常非常棒的一部伪记录恐怖片，通过打破第四堵墙，给予观众非常强烈的代入感，最开始还以为会有中式克苏鲁风格，后来发现还是邪教民俗，洞窟当中的手臂那段如果不是纪录片的形式可能会更加震撼，总的来说台湾电影👍，很久没有看到这么棒的恐怖片了，比去年的灵媒好多了嘛。另外觉得晦气的人，平时忠党爱国，看个电影就暴露出党性不足，还需要加强思想政治修养哦。
伪纪录片的形式确实很能增加真实感和代入感。里面的内容也是跟宗教信仰有关的，就是说有本土的东西在里面，其实是很不错的恐怖片了。
还没看呢，氮素看到已看的人说电影最后设置“给观众下咒”的事，无所谓是故弄玄虚还是煞有其事，总之导演挺缺德，这种满满恶意的抖机灵，不信者无畏，信者那对他必然积怨，最后只能说活该他自己吧。大家看过受到影响（心理上）的，反咒回去吧。看过补记，就电影本身而言还不如《中邪》，导演真是实力配不上野心就想着走偏门，这种路子走不远滴。另外这怪什么鬼哦，完全就是毒母。小孩儿真惨。还有为啥云南和尚要念闽南语？
南无阿弥陀佛 南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨保佑中国人民平平安安🙏🙏咒语退回给台湾仔
还行，我觉得比灵媒，哭悲都要好，算是近期难得的华语恐怖片了。
恐怖氛围不错，但是除此以外呢？到底有什么优秀之处，这种片子为什么能提名获奖？这大概是我最大的困惑～因为我不知道花了将近两个小时的时间，我到底看了一些什么？
不懂这个电影和真实事件有什么关系啊？毫无关联啊，然后女主害死师傅一家那里我超级生气，朵朵实惨。感觉可以打三星半，至于诅咒的话其实是恐怖片的套路啊，不要心理暗示
7.5分，氛围不错，世界观完整，女主演技可以，我觉得高英轩才是男主哈哈哈，林敬伦都没有秀身材，浪费！记得不要看结尾的脸就行。
“富强、民主、文明、和谐、自由、平等、公正、法治，爱国、敬业、诚信、友善 ” 伪纪录片加这么多闪回片段和小标题的，会让伪纪录片应该有的沉浸感降低许多，个人感觉没有kubei好看，kubei的观感是爽片属性的。
咳咳。
剧情、惊悚、人物设定全方位拉垮，狗屁恐怖片，看了一半就觉得晦气 @Netflix
在下与您无冤无仇，您为何这样诅咒在下？？？要说恐怖吧，真的也就那样，几处jump scare给我整乐了都，晦气是真的晦气，需要看三集春晚冲一冲喜的样子
拍的假要被骂垃圾 拍的真要被骂晦气 什么话都被你们说了呗
第四墙俗了？结尾反转盘出一局大棋，看完再回忆通篇真假难辨的母爱共情，这种晦气冲天的第四墙，劳烦多来点。
鬼打牆的橋段與整個故事幾乎不存在關聯性，完全雞肋的一段....
