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.

不得不说人物有点蠢，但这种蠢在元电影的框架中又显得有点可爱，整片更像是有惊悚元素的轻喜剧。
#2.0# 基本上复刻了第一部，致敬了很多惊悚片，老人们回归当然开心，但是无法接受Dewey这样的退场方式，距离第一部已经26年了。FOR WES.
从低分片得到的感觉是人家的演员真专业，故事是烂故事，但我会好好演。相较之下，国内的流量明星，连好莱坞的烂片也没有资格去拍，毕竟烂的原因是他们自己的演技烂+故事烂。
隔了十多年再看这个系列，依然没猜出来凶手是复数😅 基本上是一部影迷电影，各种horror movie都有被que到，显得略有点玩梗的感觉了哈哈哈特别是<如何在恐怖电影中生存指南>。京阿尼：我证明粉丝确实有毒
告诉你们：上来第一个妹子不是酱油炮灰，而是活到了最后。。。。
让一个蠢人拿着尖刀"咔""咔""咔"的乱砍乱伐。。。尤其第一人，前后咔咔好多刀，镜头一转躺在病床上没啥事儿？！职业刀手扎每一刀都计算到毫米？混乱中都能掌握好分寸！
当然还是没有第一集好看。然后，现在的恐怖片真的在血腥上卷得越来越厉害了
惊声尖笑，你这个万恶之源，害得我现在看到这个面具就想笑，根本没办法好好看下去了。不过巴巴杜克确实别这个系列好看
老朋友悉数回归，最有印象的是杜威盖尔这一对，可惜了杜威。将近两小时的片长并无拖泥带水，砍杀片该有的都有，不乏对经典的致敬以及对重启作的解读。前四部的杀手我一个都没猜中，这一部意外地全中了。
看完就忘系列。“自从第一部《惊声尖叫》之后再无此系列佳作”，官方吐槽很对，即使不停地 cue 各大恐怖佳作烂片，也不能掩盖这部电影无聊的事实。
简直难看得不得了！！对于资深恐怖迷来说这是一部黑色幽默的电影，真的要深究那得降智才看的下去！全体包括反派在内都毫无智商可言，都2022年了竟然还能拍出这么弱智的悬疑虐杀，枪都打了就是不过去拿下面罩是什么鬼？几个人打不过一个杀手？杀手中招几次但是全身没一点伤！主角弱智演技差！
作为一部重启IP的作品，最难做到的就是如何迎接老粉丝老观众审视的目光，同时吸引新观众投入精力甚至喜欢上它去补之前的几部。
刚看的时候没注意，以为是<惊声尖笑>，心说这也不咋逗啊。可惜了，不是这个系列的粉丝，很多梗届不到，一定是少了很多乐趣。
Scream系列不算是我最喜欢的Wes Craven(RIP)的作品，但是反转和喜剧效果&各种对恐怖套路的吐槽一直在线…又是历史的轮回，同一栋房子，同样的开局：独自在家的女孩，接了陌生人的电话。这熟悉的味道 熟悉的配方🤫结尾slay了～姐就是女王，自信放光芒哈哈哈哈哈。
我看过的第1405部电影，《惊声尖叫5》我给7.2分。
这个续集确实拍得还行，也已经把观众心理摸透了，当你以为是的时候，欸，就不是，骗你
有时候有一点打破第四堵墙的感觉。虽然不是特别高超，但好歹落一个亲切。
拉跨，但是也没完全拉跨。整体而言算是对第一部的致敬了。对影片本身的吐槽可以有，但有点过多和无趣了。
这一集凶手太容易猜了吧。谁会想不到凶手是他俩呢！
sidney和gale、dewey全部回归，特别是sidney战力爆棚，充满着套路和反套路，凶手仍然是两个人。可以说是第一部的致敬。
