IFC is also releasing Ben Wheatley's Sightseers to DVD this December and we have a look at the official cover art.
"Chris (Steve Oram, The World's End) wants to show his new girlfriend Tina (Alice Lowe, Hot Fuzz) his world and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved RV. Tina has led a sheltered life and there are things Chris simply needs her to see. But it doesn't take long for annoying tourists, overbooked campsites and Tina's meddling mother to spoil Chris' dream. Now he's out to prove that hell truly hath no fury like a vacationer scorned - and he and Tina quickly bond by murdering everyone who rubs them the wrong way.
SIGHTSEERS - from director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, The ABCs of Death) and executive producer Edgar Wright (director of Shaun of the Dead and The World's End), and written by stars Oram and Lowe - cleverly mixes pitch-black humor with over-the-top violence to create an uncomfortably hilarious portrait of a seemingly normal man pushed over the edge. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Tirdad Derakhshani called SIGHTSEERS "a brilliant, deliciously wicked and thoroughly enjoyable road film." It won the British Independent Film Award for Best Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Screenplay at the Sitges International Film Festival, and was named Best British Film at the Empire Awards."
IFC will release the movie to DVD in the US on December 10th. We had a chance to check out the movie earlier in the year and think that many Daily Dead readers will enjoy this one. To check out our early review, visit:
