Sightseers, the acclaimed comedy from Ben Wheatley, is now streaming for free in the UK.
The movie chronicles the journey of a couple, Tina (Alice Lowe) and Chris (Steve Oram), in the lush British countryside. However, what starts as a peaceful escape transforms into a darkly humorous series of violent events.
As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share that the darkly humorous British film “Sightseers,” penned by Lowe and Oram, can currently be streamed in the UK on Channel 4. However, don’t dawdle! This brilliant comedy is scheduled to depart from the streaming platform on September 22, so make sure you catch it before it disappears!

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d say: “I’ve got some cool news for fellow movie buffs! Back in 2012, the dark comedy ‘Sightseers’, featuring Eileen Davis and Jonathan Aris, made quite an impact. Critics absolutely loved it, giving it an impressive 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on a whopping 106 reviews. So if you haven’t seen it yet, maybe it’s time to check it out!
According to the review, the film “On a twisted journey through dark comedy and horror” is credited to Director Ben Wheatley, along with writers-actors Alice Lowe and Steve Oram. The site finds it noteworthy, while Variety also refers to it as a “mischievous little movie”.
According to our review in Digital Spy, while the film lacked deep emotional connections, it was still an incredibly engaging and unpredictable blend of tragedy and comedy. It offers a hyperbolic exploration into the lives of two extremely troubled individuals experiencing a crisis.
According to Sight & Sound, not only is ‘Sightseers’ a delightful accomplishment for its creators Lowe and Oram, but it also elevates Wheatley’s status as the most uniquely offbeat and unforeseen director in British crime films at present.
According to the Los Angeles Times, if you’re looking for an unusual story that could help solve some of today’s problems in the British countryside (like littering), then you might want to watch the film “Sightseers“, which they suggest will serve as a warning. Meanwhile, the London Evening Standard described it as “extremely funny”.
The Daily Telegraph offered high praise, commending Lowe and Oram’s script for skillfully blending horror and comedy in a way that was both witty and chilling, describing it as laugh-out-loud scary.
If you prefer mystery and suspense over dark humor, then Channel 4 might just satisfy your tastes with “Where the Crawdads Sing”. However, remember to catch it soon as it’s scheduled to depart from the streaming service this coming Friday.
Sightseers is streaming now on Channel 4.
The latest edition of Digital Spy’s print issue, featuring Oasis – Live in ’25’, is available! You can purchase it from your local newsstands or online for only £8.99.
