rdoyle29 Chris & Tina are a schlubby couple who go on a road trip in a camper to see some sights in Northern England. They have not dated for more than a few months, so this is kind of a get-to-really-know-each-other-better trip. What Tina comes to know is that Chris is a serial killer. He has definite opinions about acceptable behavior and tends to murder those that fail the test. Tina not only accepts this, she turns out to be even better at it than Chris. A very dark comedy co-written by Alice Lowe and Steve Oram who play Chris & Tina. It has a tendency to veer from dark social satire right into horror film territory with some very gory deaths.

thesar-2 It's the Natural Born Killers abroad and reboot that actually works better than the original American counterpart.After seeing Director Ben Wheatley's other "horror" film, Kill List, a friend recommended these Sightseers to me as the better follow-up. True that. It's better, but still just okay. I see where he's going with his dry, dark and very British humor, but, maybe I'm not the target audience. So, we have a daughter taking a holiday with her mate – um, real mate, and not the best friend kind – from looking after her mum. Apparently, it's established in his past, he's accidentally killed someone. We get this from the mum who doesn't like him. Well, this is far from the obvious foreshadowing as this couple goes on a "murderous" rampage during their vacation.I am not going to spoil it, but the very best thing in this somewhat funny (I didn't really laugh, but I can see their sense of humor) journey was the very last shot. It went from a "huh" movie to a "WOW, that's awesome" film. Also, the dog, though overused, was cute.If…IF…you like British dark humor, you might like this dark comedy. I'm not a huge fan, but could still appreciate it. ***Final thoughts: I see the poster exclaims: "From the makers of Hot Fuzz, Paul & Shaun of the Dead." Well, that may be the case, but don't expect the same laugh-out-loud humor or the charisma of both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. No one here is that good. Not many actors would be and it's just a cheap marketing ploy since this is a completely different film. Shame.

punishmentpark A pretty good comeback for Ben Wheatley, after his awfully disappointing 'Kill list'. The opening was terrific (reminding me a little of 'Kynodontas' in some ways), with a terrific choice for Soft Cell's 'Tainted love', sending the duo off on their surprising campaign. The first murder seemed a little quick and off-handed, though, as were some moments later on as well.But mostly, these two lovers / sightseers were a fun pair to follow, the tone of things was aptly understated, with a load of black, black humour to boot. Alice Lowe and Steve Oram did terrific jobs, but every other single member of the cast fitted the bill perfectly as well. And, finally, rainy old U.K. and its many amazing sights provided a wonderful backdrop.8 out of 10.

georgeritmeester I was very surprised that every review wasn't along the lines of that of carliebseattle. This is close to being the worst movie I've ever seen. No plot - everything happens by happenstance. No exploration of character to glean the roots of the ongoing psychopathy (which, as this movie suggests, is apparently contagious). Most of what is intended to be comedy is not in the least humorous. There is a little bit of twisted sexual humour, but it's like giving a handful of popcorn to someone who hasn't eaten for three weeks. I've seen a lot of bad movies, but not many like this - ones so bad that it makes you angry you wasted your time watching it. The surprise ending is slightly satisfying, but doesn't come close to making up for the boring and misguided buildup. I'm only giving it a one out of ten because I'm not allowed to give it a zero rating. Warning - Don't be misled by the reviewer who claimed that you would like this if you loved Harold and Maude. You wouldn't.
