Saw this at TIFF and LOVED IT!

I also loved KILL LIST, but this is a considerably different beast, and more proof that Wheatley's heading places. Of the 15 films I saw at the festival this year, this shot to the top of the list. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot more buzz surrounding it because it has a serious chance of appealing to a wider audience than KILL LIST. At TIFF, it was one of the few films still "on sale" on the last day of the festival, and it's last screening, even AFTER the festival had paired up with a Canadian online voucher company called Groupon to make available half-price tickets to the back half of the fest. Considering the buzz around KILL LIST last year, the lack of it surrounding SIGHTSEERS is ridiculous. The movie is dark, nasty and hilarious, but also a well-drawn portrait of a pair of quietly desperate, middle-aged losers trying to create something to which they both feel entitled: happiness. That it grows organically out of serial murder is the film's masterstroke. If you've ever wanted to give someone hell because of some offhanded, sloppy, disrespectful thing they did or said in your presence, you'll identify with the leads in this film. Well, to a degree, anyway. And let's face it, we've all wanted to retaliate at least verbally against perceived, tedious little transgressions at some point in our lives; but composure and begrudging tolerance invariably win out, or at best a flipped finger must suffice. As the couple in SIGHTSEERS, Steve Oram and Alice Lowe -- both of whom co-wrote this and also appeared in KILL LIST -- just take the pursuit of happiness by wounded souls to its logical extreme; many of their victims are sods, some are not, and while in real life no such people would warrant the death penalty meted out by the film's dysfunctional lovers, there is, for a time at least, a small amount of satisfaction -- and shocked laughter -- each time another transgressor goes down, at least until the Lowe, tellingly, starts making random kills, which goes against Oram's more "organizational" style. Clever touch. Still mulling this one over for a proper review at some point, but definitely worth seeing. Wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a sleeper hit, especially in the U.K.
