Re: Sightseers
B+
This is a great, pitch-black British comedy, but also a showcase of Britain's forgotten countrysides. The leading duo Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (also responsible for the screenplay) is just fantastic and the film doesn't pull any punches - up until the very last scene, which is great. It does loses some of its humor (because you see the surprises and turns coming) on repeat viewings, but it is still great, mean fun. It opened the Fantasy Film Festival last year and it was a great crowd-pleaser (for the right audience)
Algren, you really need to see this ASAP.

Sightseers
It's not bad. Has some nice musical sequences and can be eerie but it never really reaches for much more than a plodding serial killer plot. It has some good kills and there are glimpses of unfolding the characters, but it is never developed enough to act as a hook. Alice Lowe and Steve Oram are great though.
