Sightseers (2012)


A young man wants to show his girlfriend his world, but events soon conspire against the couple and their dream caravan holiday takes a very wrong turn.

Very dark and at times disturbing comedy that envisions England as an hopelessly bleak society despite its beautiful landscapes.

Maltin**1/2: "Very black comedy...At times very funny, the film loses its delicate balance between charm and bloodletting in the second half but could develop a real cult following. Lowe and Oram developed these characters as part of their work in improv comedy; they know how to underplay to great effect, despite the wild twists and turns the story takes."
