Sightseers
A couple's (Alice Lowe, Steve Oram) cross-country road trip takes a deadly turn when they decide to start killing everyone who annoys them. For as the holiday progresses, so does the bodycount!

Uncomfortably lurching from broad slapstick to dark and sharp gore - often in the space of a single scene - Sightseers adds up to a rather jumbled whole, despite the punchlines hitting as often as they miss.

Devised by acting-writing comedy team Lowe and Oram and co-scripted by Amy Jump, director Ben Wheatley's professional and personal partner, the movie pokes fun at the social limitations of these lumpen Midlanders without sneering at or patronizing them.

An undeniable treat for lovers of morbid comedy.

It has a levity and self-aware absurdity that makes it not only a different kind of beast, but also another film that marks Ben Wheatley as a young director to keep an eye on.

With a wink and a shrug, Sightseers shows us evil in all its banality.

Sightseers is everything you could want from a dark comedy infused with horror and is by far Wheatley's most assured work to date.

A brilliant, deliciously wicked, and thoroughly enjoyable road film ...
May 31, 2013
A British black comedy made in the spirit of "let's run with this demented premise till the tank is empty."

The film is certainly funny, but the laughs aren't as constant as you'd hope from a film like this.

It's just not quite funny enough.

Darkly funny as it is, the movie has undercurrents of genuine and very British weirdness.

It's not a perfect blend, but Ben Wheatley's film is different enough - on second thought, let's just call it what it is: weird - to warrant your attention. Your admiration, even.
