Sightseers

Ross and I saw Sightseers recently.  This is an English film from the makers of Hot Fuzz, Paul and Shaun of the Dead. To say Sightseers is a black comedy is an understatement!!!
The main characters are Tina and Chris who are a young geek-ish couple off on a weeks caravaning holiday as they get to know each other.  They plan on exploring "Chris's world" which are places like a Pencil factory and an obscure Weir.
We are introduced to the main characters and connect with them, feel sorry for them, get to like them.  Tina knits, has a diploma in dog psychology and cares for a horrible mother.  Chris is sweet and is kind to Tina's mother. They appear to make a lovely couple.
We like this cute pair and then they start....... murdering people.  This, of course, puts the viewer in a difficult position. Should we still like them?
This is a film which caused me to shake my head and laugh long after we left the cinema. 
Ross and I saw it at the Dendy, Newtown and gave it 4 stars (out of 5).  Loved it!!
