The story is about a man who awakens one morning with the crystal-clear realization that we are surrounded daily by the presence of aliens that are controlling society.
The interesting part of the story is that it was owned by the studio because it was used as the basis for the 1988 John Carpenter film They Live. In that film, aliens were discovered through the use of special glasses. None of that is being used here, and the film is not considered a remake.
Some acquisition news out of Cannes as IFC Films has nabbed Kill List director Ben Wheatley’s The Sightseers, which stars Alice Lowe and Steve Oram as a couple on a countryside caravan trip that goes wrong. Below you’ll once again find the first piece of footage from the horror comedy that begins when the couple have a face-to-face with a local about not picking up their dog’s crap from the ground. I’d get pissed off too if somebody didn’t pick up after their mutt.
“Chris (Oram) wants to show Tina (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…” READ MORE
Next up from Kill List director Ben Wheatley’s The Sightseers is the first ever clip from the film starring Alice Lowe and Steve Oram as a couple on a countryside caravan trip that goes wrong. Premiering at Cannes, the first piece of footage begins the nosedive into insanity when the couple have a face-to-face with a local about not picking up their dog’s crap from the ground. I’d get pissed off too if somebody didn’t pick up after their mutt.

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. While we’ve already shared a trio of stills, we’ve landed one more that brings some death into the picture. Dig on it inside.

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.
