Sightseers

Last year, the closing night of TIFF was "Kill List", a film that revelled in creating an atmosphere of dread in its opening frames and carrying it through to its horrible conclusion.

The director, Ben Wheatley, has offered a release of sorts with "Sightseers", a blackly comic movie about a pair of frumpy British holidayers who embark on an increasingly bloody trip through the Midlands.

The script grew out of a creation of two English sketch comics and the film at times feels like an extended improv act. That said, it is nasty, gory and, at times, very, very funny.
