Sightseers is a 2012 British black comedy film directed by Ben Wheatley and written by and starring Alice Lowe and Steve Oram.

Production

The characters came together seven years before the film came as a stage experience with Lowe and Oram appearing as innocent campers who slowly revealed they were serial killers. A short film was later produced and was sent to several production companies, however despite being found to be funny, the pitch kept getting turned down for being too dark.

The two were also inspired by Withnail and I.
