Sightseers


Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through this sceptred isle in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life.

But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris's dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge...

PROJECT DETAILS
  • IFC Films will distribute in the US.
  • Director Ben Wheatley recently described the tone of the film, saying: "It's not as dark as Kill List. I'd have to shoot a child in the head live on television to be darker than that, but it has the same humour and the same worldview. But it's also quite romantic, a bit more of a love story."
  • Ben Wheatley recently helmed the film Kill List.
  • Executive-produced by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World).
  • This is a UK horror comedy.
