Watch Sightseers Movie Online No Survey Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles 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 the wrong way, over a very jagged edge.

Review For Sightseers |
What begins as an alert and witty barbed satire degenerates into a senseless bloodbath in the black comedy "Sightseers." Kyle Smith-New York Post
If you are in the mood for a bizarre tale of how to rid the British countryside of some of society's modern ills - litterbugs beware - "Sightseers" should do the trick. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
Working from a script by Ms. Lowe and Mr. Oram, Mr. Wheatley continues in the same bludgeoning, amusingly if dubiously deadpan fashion for what soon feels like an overextended joke. Manohla Dargis-New York Times
It may be the satirist's credo to spare no one, but in Sightseers, no one is spared Wheatley's smug superiority. Scott Tobias-NPR
Sightseers is a jet-black comedy that understands exactly how absurdist it is, and its murders are always played for laughs-aided by their gruesome depictions. Zachary Wigon-Village Voice
Lowe and Oram have been living with these characters for years, and it shows. The acting is very funny and well-observed. Sheila O'Malley-Chicago Sun-Times
Initially funny and imaginative, but increasingly lazy, unfunny and tedious. It would have worked better as a short. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
Director Ben Wheatley is capable of simultaneously embracing both the awkward comedy and creeping horror of Chris and Tina's voyage into darkness. Maitland McDonagh-Film Journal International
Sightseers homicidal holiday isn't just a pitch-black comedy made with skill, will and brains; it's also another demonstration that Wheatley is, to use an all-too-appropriate phrase, going places. James Rocchi-The Playlist
His satirical stab at the traditionally quiet vision of proper England, pointed as much at the monarchy as it is at the Merchant-Ivory generation, is refreshing up to a point and almost always funny, but its sense of agitated hopelessness feels strained. Chris Cabin-Film Racket
Director Ben Wheatley...has trumped Bobcat Goldthwaite's "God Bless America" with this British caravan serial killer comedy..an atypical relationship movie stuffed with nuggets of humor mined from both the characters and the landscape they travel through. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
The film proceeds with a lazy, sketch-like feel that makes more sense after considering that these characters began on stage; the material was reconceived as a movie after a TV pilot failed to ignite. Ben Kenigsberg-AV Club
Shocking in all the good ways, supported by two fantastic performances from Alice Lowe and Steve Oram...Sightseers is a legitimate doozy. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
Like the slow-cooking version of a road comedy, yielding tasty results thanks to the craft and patience of the filmmakers. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
This sardonic depiction of Britain, as a land where a thin veneer of strained politesse and fussy specificity of tastes masks a throbbing heart of darkness, makes for Ben Wheatley's best film yet. Jesse Cataldo-Slant Magazine
Blacker than the La Brea Tar Pits director Ben Wheatley's dark comedy, about a couple of serial killer lovebirds, is an exquisitely funny movie. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
Ben Wheatley's latest film delivers horror in the most unexpected ways, but that wouldn't be possible without a darkly enjoyable script and delightfully unsettling performances by Alice Lowe and Steve Oram. Matt Donato-We Got This Covered
Sightseers is not worth seeing at all. Staci Layne Wilson-StaciWilson.com
