The Sightseers is a poor attempt at a "road trip "comedy" about a 30 something British couple traveling the English countryside, leaving a trail of blood and gore behind them. Sadly, calling this movie a comedy -- whether black, noir or otherwise - is an insult to anything humorous. Unlike such notable film explorations like Thelma and Louise, and Bonnie and Clyde, the Sightseers is a pointless film. Other than a few minutes of beautiful vistas -- who knew England had national parks - a couple of cheap gags and a couple of sentimental 90's songs, there was little to care about in the unredeemable and unsympathetic personalities of the couple. Tonight, in a Q&A following a screening of the movie, director Ben Wheatley, when asked how a movie like this, with such wanton killing and gore could be called a comedy, defended the movie by admitting that he found humor in movies such as Taxi and Apocalypse Now. If smashed up faces and blood squirting out of a severed neck are your brand of humor, you will love the Sightseers. Otherwise, you may be well advised to set your sights seeing another movie.

As others have mentioned. It is neither of the below : Funny As Hell Best British Comedy In Any Way Absolutely Hilarious. When I see movies and high reviews and comments like the ones above. I wonder if I have missed something or am just not clever enough to get it. I've not even finished it but I can't see it getting any better. It's dull, unfunny and just not a good movie. I liked Down Terrace and since then have followed the directors movies. I might give him one more chance because Kill List Was Bad. This is on par too. I don't get how people can get finding for these things. There is something disturbing about the films the director makes. I have no problem with dark and disturbing but not when I feel it's coming from a disturbed place.. Nuff Said...

You may have heard of the excellent 2011 British horror film "Kill List", a collaboration between Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump. Fast forward to 2012 and they have reunited to produce offbeat black comedy thriller, Sightseers less somber in tone and many times more in doses of humor. Written by Steve Oram and Alice Lowe (both of whom also starr as lead characters), this film revolves around two lovebirds who take off on a caravanning trip around England. Chris is a loving boyfriend to Tina, who lives with a cranky old mother at home. Wanting to break free from routine, Tina accepts his offer of going on a week long getaway with his MPV and a caravan in tow. Along their journey, they meet strangers who manage to annoy Chris with the most trivial of transgressions. One bloke dirties the tour bus with a scrap of ice-cream wrapper and refuses to pickup the garbage. And poetic justice (or karma) punishes the litter bug when later, Chris accidentally runs him over (and leaves him for dead) in the parking lot. Nothing must get in the way of a fun-filled holiday! The narrative trots along and accelerates in morbidity as Tina and Chris gain more rapport as partners-to-be on a killing spree. They bond over common interests and shared world views while beginning a string of random murders with such bizarre violence and hilarity that would make all seven psychopaths in "Seven Psychopaths" seem like amateurs in kiddyland. Sightseers is clever, well-paced and entertaining. Alice Lowe has a flair for scenes involving awkward situations and delivers (her performance as Tina) with a great sense of deadpan comic timing. Morbid humor in the league of dead-baby jokes isn't for everyone. But if you enjoyed films such as Harold & Maude, look no further than this for flashes of delight and some laugh out loud moments.

When I saw this advertised to appear on TV yesterday I thought it would be right up my street. Armed with a slab of Christmas cake & a pot of coffee I settled myself down for the biggest disappointment of the Xmas holidays thus far. This is a seriously unengaging movie. It's difficult to describe, but I felt throughout that I wasn't gaining anything by watching it. When the first victim is hit I simply wasn't interested, affected or bothered. I couldn't have been less moved if I'd been looking at an old man picking a loaf of bread off a supermarket shelf. The film seems to have been randomly clashed together without any movie-making skills or attempt to encourage the viewer to stick with it. One uninteresting, awful scene after another steadily strips away any enthusiasm till there's eventually none left. In the right storyteller's hands, with the right actors this could have a hoot. Instead it's just a flop. I won't be watching it again.

What a waste of time and what a bad decision to watch this movie!! Felt disgusted! I firmly believe it should only be watched by students studying psychiatry as it show plenty of mental disorders. Verdict - don't waste your time! Doesn't educate, doesn't entertain, doesn't enlighten. Shows the dirt only. Full stop. I cannot call this a comedy and unfortunately, the plot is very poor. The movie itself may be liked by some people who prefer "exotics", or particular type of people like emos, etc.. However, I think it should not be watched by anyone on a basis that it shows how easily people can kill, how easily emotion driven they are (should we really watch it?) and that's not what should be broadcast to the public. Overall, the movie show a lot of dirt and nothing sane. Doesn't make you think, does not give you messages you can ponder on. Just dirt.

Last year's "Kill List" was one of the creepiest, most disturbing films I had seen in a long time. It's a film that stayed with me long after the screening, and one I encouraged friends and associates to check out. Some still haven't forgiven me. Imagine the combination of dread/anticipation I felt about the chance to see director Ben Wheatley's latest slice of darkness entitled "Sightseers". Described by some as a "dark comedy", I would say that the only thing possibly darker than Wheatley's sense of humor would be the center of a black hole. "Sightseers" tells the story of a frumpy British couple off on 'holiday' (as they say,) the problems that come up on such trips, and the unique way they choose to solve them. Saying any more would give too much away. Suffice it to say, may you NEVER come across a couple like this on your vacation. Is it funny? Yes, it is. But you may hate yourself for laughing. Is it violent? For sure. Exceptionally. But in the context of the story, it has to be. Is it disturbing? Oh, yes it is, but once again Wheatley has made a film that once you've started it, you'll find it difficult to turn away. And, like "Kill List", the ending packs a wallop from which it may take you a while to recover. Films like "Sightseers" are tough to categorize, and even tougher to recommend. This is not the feel-good hit of the summer. It is a look into the blackest parts of human nature, and how that blackness is often camouflaged by the banality of everyday existence. I wouldn't call Wheatley's films "entertaining", but damned if they don't get an emotional response out of me. So seek it out but you have been warned. www.worstshowontheweb.com

After watching the trailer the film looked really good, well that was a very misleading trailer. I found that the film was very poor indeed, the plot was non existent and the characters were not even funny. I don't understand how all the critics gave it such good reviews. Maybe its just me, but I have to say this is one of the worst films I have ever seen. It was on par with The Keith Lemon Movie, which was dreadful as well. The scenery was the only good part of the film. People in our theatre walked out about 15 minutes in. The group I was in while watching this film, we kept looking at each other wondering if we should walk out and leave. Most of us just kept looking at our watches, hoping it would end soon. The film is 88 minutes long, it felt almost 6 hours in that theatre! I would not recommend this film to anyone!

This is genuinely one of the worst films i have ever seen. I was looking forward to watching this as the trailer gave it a good first impression. I hadn't even watched 45 minutes of the film and wanted to leave, the only thing that kept me there was the price of the ticket. The humour was non-existent and the plot was meaningless. I would not recommend this film to anybody, a definite 1/10! The only enjoyable moment of the film was when nobody speaks and all the viewer sees is a car and caravan driving through the hills. The ending was very disappointing and abrupt but i was happy when it did finish as the 88 minutes of pure rubbish that i had just seen felt like i had been sat there a day. Throughout the course of the film, 6 people decided to get up and leave which speaks for itself as the screen only had about 9 people in it at the beginning. I hope you save your money for a funnier film such as 'The Hobbit' (fantastic film). Happy Filming!

Ben Wheatley provides one of the year's darkest and funniest comedies in this tale of true love, caravans and dead bodies. Ever since her terrier Poppy died in a bizarre knitting accident, Tina (Darkplace's Alice Lowe) has lived a sheltered life with her mother. New boyfriend Chris (Steve Oram) decides to show her his world and takes her on a self-proclaimed "erotic odyssey" in his caravan to such wonders as the Crich Tramway Museum, Ribblehead Viaduct and, of course, Keswick Pencil Museum. But with litterbug, National Trust snobs and feral youths running rampant, Tina and Chris inadvertently leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake, as their holiday continues to spiral out of control. Steve Oram heads up the fantastic cast as the muted, yet brutal, Chris, complementing Alice Lowe's awkward, yet creepy, Tina perfectly. However, the real star is the special effects, which provide some of the most realistic and memorable on screen deaths of the year. The unsettling, albeit hilarious, performances of the two leads is mirrored in the soundtrack, a mix of cheery '80s pop songs and a haunting minimalist score. Shot in the beautiful Lake District, director Ben Wheatley uses lingering shots and slow-mo in an innovative way, making his comedy edgy whilst poignant. No doubt, this is a very British black comedy. Wheatley shows directorial flair, but reigns it in from his previous work Kill List, leading to a much tighter film, with a concentration on the biting wit of the script. Sightseers, overall, plays out like a cross between Bonnie & Clyde and In Bruges, leading to a perfect pitch-black comedy that's not for the faint hearted.
