The story is about a couple on a countryside caravan trip that goes wrong.

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 up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge…

I think I liked Kill List director Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers just a bit more than Mr. Disgusting did (review here), but it’s something I admire rather than love. I just don’t see myself wanting to spend time with the characters again. They’re well written and played mind you, they’re just unpleasant. I’d still recommend the film for at least one viewing though, and I really dig this new poster – they almost had me again!

In the comedy, “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 accompanies 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…”

We’re told IFC Films is taking a step back from acquiring genre films, but until then, they have quite a few to unload.

First, Brandon Cronenberg’s social commentary horror Antiviral, pictured above, gets released on April 12. Starring Caleb Landy Jones, Malcolm McDowell and Sarah Gadon, the son of David Cronenberg’s film “Revolves around a salesman (Jones) for a clinic that replicates celebrity diseases for public consumption. He becomes obsessed with a celebrity and injects himself with her disease, then must figure out how to cure it before time runs out.” I was a pretty big fan of the flick, read my review here.

Getting released on May 10 is Kill List director Ben Wheatley’s serial killer comedy Sightseers, pictured below, which I thought was pretty OK. The film is “The story is about a couple on a countryside caravan trip that goes wrong.”

Both films played strong through the festival scene and are worthy of a VOD rental. READ MORE

Easily the best genre film of 2011 was Ben Wheatley’s mind-blowing slow burn, Kill List, which dabbled in various genres while providing one hell of a shocker twist.

Next up for Wheatley is The Sightseers, starring Alice Lowe and Steve Oram as a couple on a countryside caravan trip that goes wrong. The film will have its premiere at Cannes, which lead me to do a little worthwhile digging. Added below are the first three images from the film. Nothing frightful, nothing scary, but we all known what Wheatley is capable of.
