This is one of those films that you laugh at, but while you're laughing, you question whether you should really find what you are watching appropriate or not. Sightseers is a dark comedy through and through, and the British sense of humor practically oozes out from all sides. If that's not your cup of tea (pun mildly intended), I'd steer clear.
Tina, a mousy dog psychologist whose life has been ruined by the recent death of a beloved dog, sets out with her new beau, Chris, on a caravan holiday meant to be a sort of sexcapade that instead devolves into a killing spree. Sightseers is actually written by the two principle actors, which makes their on-screen performances seem more on par with their characters. The film initially begins with a couple who appear to be trying to escape their lives and impress their significant other, but as the filmprogresses, their true natures are revealed to be much darker.
The cinematography of the film is exquisite and serves to elevate Sightseers as more than just a British dark comedy. The uses of music also add to the different scenes rather than detract and distract from them. This film is a comedy, despite the somewhat gory plot, and you should definitely put it on your to-watch list if you enjoy an inappropriate laugh or two.
