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.

看的晕的不行，想吐🤮，没太大意思，并且无聊的瞌睡着了，两星给充足的血浆吧
第三个故事风格更接近爱死亡机器人的气质，也有一种第一视角射击类剧情游戏的感觉！其他就没有什么灵光乍现！
全片可以给七分
下水道鼠人，棺材丧尸，硬核机器人，恐怖行动，这四个故事都还可以。
人体机械改造总能激起我生理上的猎奇和理智上的厌恶。（最不能理解刷屏“机械飞升”的弱智小学生）
血腥风格还是保留了，但是故事确实没前几部精彩，勉强3星吧
我觉得很带劲，第一、二、三个故事都很好，很有氛围，但是第四个看得有点云里雾里的……打一星的我觉得不至于吧……
最后一部录像带真的莫名搞笑，就是说临走前想让大家轻松一下吗
第一个故事还有点都市恐怖传说的味道，后面的不是用力过猛就是没怎么发力了。
恐怖片《致命录像带94》我并没有看过前面的三部，此系列电影，基本都是伪记录的形式，惊悚，恐怖，血腥，重口…画面处理的也不错！第一个故事：下水道里的鼠人，怎么感觉更像是一个邪教的圣物了？好吧！第二个故事：就是殡仪馆守夜女子的恐怖遭遇啊！半个脸的男人还是可以的！第三个故事：满满的机械加人体结合风，个人最喜欢这个，画面视角也很棒，慢慢的杀戮、血腥…很重口，很刺激，很棒！第四个故事：说实话，我没有看太懂，一见阳光就秒变炸弹了吗？本来要报复美国，结果被全灭了？唉！还有整体穿插的那个故事也是很一般，为了串联而串联吗？有点失败啊！总体看下来，本人推荐前三个故事，尤其第三个！总之，推荐喜欢重口恐怖伪记录的朋友们观看哦！（话说，我是不是应该回看一下此系列的前三部了？嗯…考虑一下）
水准又回来了！这样一看感觉第三部仿佛是外包出去了。故事一氛围营造最佳；故事二最后恐怖但前面冗长，很容易让人忘记；故事三是赛博朋克1994，看完只想说人间有真情；故事四是白皮猪大战吸血鬼，恐怖元素没有喜剧元素多；主线故事最烂，最后说的话有够中二。总结来说第四部没有第二部吓人。
很特殊的一部电影，没有英文字幕，没法看了。感觉没必要故意把画面弄这么糟糕，毕竟主流手机都可以轻松4k拍摄，更不会搞什么隔行扫描了。
没有看过前作，不过这也许是原作粉丝向的续集？但整体感受就是什么鬼玩意儿，一锅乱炖。
喜欢故事3，最后一个故事拖后腿，前几个都有单独成片的故事性。
鼠人、诈尸、吸血鬼…土爆了，像极了一部粗制滥造的60年代B级片，一点也不恐怖，只有机械人那段有点意思
没有第一部好看没有第一部好看没有第一部好看……
分数：71
vhs录像古早画质也没有降低残虐的血腥感，还是很棒。
比小时候看的录像带更血腥！但创意上基本是暗网都市传说汇编
第二个故事殡仪馆致敬了活跳尸，第三个故事生化人那段不错 其他没啥意思
