Ahead of this screening, the first "secret" screening of Fantastic Fest 2012, I had heard from an apparently-not-so-reliable-source that this would be the big-budget film Cloud Atlas. Disappointed as I am that none of Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant, or Hugo Weaving were here, the film was instead a delightful British comedy Sightseers featuring a cast of unknowns and just the right amount of horror to make such a film fit in at the festival.
Chris takes his new girlfriend Tina on a caravan holiday, her first real vacation from an overbearing mother. Things quickly go awry, and she attempts to adapt. I really don't want to say more, but it was very enjoyable. As my friend Joel put it, the characters have depth. They grow on you.
Sightseers
2012, 88 minutes, directed by Ben Wheatley
