Down Terrace
Why this pick
Wheatley’s earlier crime comedy shares Sightseers’ deadpan cruelty and unglamorous English settings, finding menace and absurdity in intimate, disastrously dysfunctional relationships.

02
In Bruges
Why this pick
Mordant jokes, abrasive chemistry and bursts of shocking violence give this a similarly uneasy blend of bleakness and comedy, while its damaged central pair keeps the tension personal.
03
The Green Butchers
Why this pick
This Danish black comedy matches the pleasure of watching appalling behaviour treated with unsettling normality, combining provincial awkwardness, macabre invention and unexpectedly human character friction.
04
The Lobster
Why this pick
Its rigid deadpan delivery and casually cruel absurdity should suit Sightseers’ taste for humour that becomes funnier—and more unnerving—because nobody reacts normally.
05
The End of the F***ing World
Why this pick
A compact, darkly comic road story driven by an odd young couple, mixing deadpan British discomfort, impulsive criminality and a surprisingly tender bond without losing its menace.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Chris (Steve Oram) is a caravan fan and aspiring writer who takes his girlfriend Tina (Alice Lowe) on a road trip, much to the chagrin of Tina's mother (Eileen Davies), who has never forgiven Tina for the death of their dog "Poppy". At their first stop, the National Tramway Museum, Chris confronts a man (Tony Way) who is littering, and the man refuses to pick up his rubbish. When they get back to their car, Chris runs him over and kills him. Chris claims that the death was an accident, but smirks after the impact, unseen by Tina. Chris tells Tina that she is his muse.
