Film Review – Sightseers

With “Down Terrace” and “Kill List,” director Ben Wheatley was striving
for more of a severe atmosphere of family dysfunction and the dark

completely horrifying. It’s shocking in all the good ways, lead by two
fantastic performances from Alice Lowe and Steve Oram, who capture the
elusive feel of cheery malevolence early on the feature, helping to sell
Wheatley’s casual atmosphere of whiplash temper down to the last gasp.
“Sightseers” is a legitimate doozy.
