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.

小成本悬疑惊悚，五加一的角色配置在暴风雪山庄困境里保持着很强的紧张感，难能可贵的是女主十分有魄力，智商和勇气全程在线，一直竭尽身边能利用的资源来尝试找到扳倒对手的机会。
不应该叫暂无出口，应该叫不停反转。反转多了我都能猜出剧情走向。小女孩啥也没做赢到了最后。
这个亚裔女主，说不上漂亮，可是在镜头面前，她的身上似乎就有道光。电影里面，白人都是坏的，懦弱的，黄种人和黑人都是好的，呵呵，zzzq让悬疑效果打了一个折扣。故事简短，但是还算完整，华盛顿大哥还是这么老练，反派男主出乎意料的好，五颗星是给女主的，她太能把观众带入戏了。
比较一般，开头情节比较慢。女主角姐姐Devon（演员是Lisa zhang）最后出现，觉得她好漂亮有女人味。
普通的惊悚故事套路一般。但是没啥太大的问题。女主戒毒中心戒赌。得知母亲脑瘤住院手术。要求医院让自己离开。但是部门表示需要申请手续下周才行。女主表示来不及了。夜深带上螺丝刀工具。带上装备直接溜出戒毒所，溜上车直接疾驰离开。一路导航但是下起了大雪道路封锁。女主在路边收到姐妹短信吐槽女主只会添乱别来了。压力太大。女主甚至拿出了毒品想要吸毒。结果恍惚间幻想到自己吸毒死在车里。这时来了警察，女主惊醒得知下大雪所有道路封锁。女主可以原路返回，或者前往游客中心。女主只好前往游客中心。看到了老黑和老妇女坐一起。以及睡觉的帅小伙还有角落神神叨叨的宅男。大雪天没有信号。老黑表示外面某个地方偶尔有一格信号。女主过去找信号。结果发现一个面包车里绑着一个小女孩。小女孩还有病。情绪激动就会死。女主回去屋里猜测谁是坏人
打发时间可以一看，女主演技还真可以，看好未来的发展
两星电影，亚裔担任主角形象正面加一星。下半段女主的降智操作为电影大幅扣分：明明有枪在手占据上风，不要求劫匪解除武装或者杀掉劫匪反而莫名其妙地跑路导致优势尽失。
小成本暴风雪山庄模式惊悚片。虽然剧情本身有些微bugs (比如人口拐卖竟挑动静大的富豪家孩子，还是入室强绑；比如妻子在富豪家工作，丈夫竟完全不知妻子雇主孩子的模样)，但情节紧凑，反转给力，演员演技在线，摄影运镜有老胶片质感，算是这一类型中的佳片了。
真凶暴露有点早 反转也就不那么惊人了 惊悚气氛营造的还是差了点
看着这部电影的时候，手表监测到我睡着了...但我还是清醒地坚持着。
暴雪封路，戒毒少女路遇绑架犯，运气加力量成功解救女孩。
暴风雪下的小屋成为了人性修罗场，套路十足。知道事情真相偏瞒着不说，最有经验最稳的必然先死，弱不禁风的女性势必反杀，反杀用螺丝刀插脖子，美帝警察用来送人头……优点在于，节奏快，时间短，剧情简单，血腥有力，痛感十足！还有几个人玩的bullshit游戏，就是“吹牛”，小时候也经常玩，用来体现人物性格还是很合适的，如果在游戏过程上能再更深入展示展示就更妙了。
这种剧本真是很无聊，结局还是那么老套，反派又是死于话多，警察又是龙套，女主光环严重闪瞎观众双眼，顺便还附赠油腻美式家庭和解团圆。
女主好强大。剧情也很利落，不是一屋子人轮流猜最后一个才是绑匪。
no exit这个名字太俗了。建议改成《nail me？screw you！》
还阔以，电影本身的节奏没有解说视频的好2333，但也是合格的爆米花电影了
被劫小女孩醒了之后才算反转，整体还是比较套路；不过还挺喜欢女主的。
22-067. 故事太單薄了……反轉也很一般
女主角全程智商在线？？？最后跑路的时候不用枪废掉歹徒行动能力就是智商暂时掉线的那一刻吧。
