Film Trailer for Ben Wheatley's Sightseers
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Hands down, my favorite film at the most recent Portland International Film Festival was Kill List, from director Ben Wheatley (Down Terrace). See it if you haven't—people tend to either love it or hate it, but I haven't spoken to anyone yet who didn't feel something about it, which is an increasing rarity these days. (I've also been told by a few grumpy people that loving Kill List is a sign that you are a terrible human being, which... I don't know. I don't think I'm terrible?) ANYWAY: Here's a trailer for Wheatley's follow-up, Sightseers, which I think looks phenomenal. But then, I'm one of the people who loved Kill List. So.
(Also, since it's a British trailer and can thus tell the MPAA to suck it, I should probably follow the Guardian's lead and note that "This trailer contains scenes of sex and violence that some viewers may find disturbing." Also some swearing. Also some awesomeness.
