Our take
Following upon his divisive hitman turned menacing horror film Kill List, Ben Wheatley continued his genre-play with Sightseers, a wicked weaving of sardonic comedy and horror within a dark romance. Belying this serial killer jaunt is a surprisingly accurate reflection of British identity.
