Sightseers 2013

As Chris (played by …) and his girlfriend Tina embark on a picturesque road trip, the tension between them is palpable. Chris, an aspiring writer with a passion for caravans, has brought Tina along much to the dismay of her mother, who still harbors deep-seated resentment towards Tina due to the untimely demise of their beloved dog Poppy. Their initial stop at the National Tramway Museum sets the tone for the trip, as Chris’s impulsive nature gets the better of him when he confronts a litterer and subsequently runs him over, killing him in the process. Though he claims the incident was an accident, his smirk suggests otherwise.

Their next destination is a caravan park where they meet Janice and Ian, a published writer who unwittingly becomes the object of Chris’s jealousy. The following morning, Chris’s envy boils over when he follows Ian on a solo walk, brutally attacking him with a rock, stealing his camera, and ultimately pushing him off a cliff to his untimely demise. Tina discovers the photos of Ian and Janice on the stolen camera, leading her to confront Chris about his dark secret. To her surprise, she accepts his confession without hesitation.

As they continue their journey, the dynamics between them become increasingly sinister. A chance encounter with Banjo, a dog that eerily resembles Poppy, sets off a chain of events that sees Chris’s violence escalate further. During a stroll through a National Trust park, Banjo’s misbehavior prompts a tourist to reprimand Tina, prompting Chris to manipulate the situation and orchestrate a violent confrontation that ultimately claims another victim.

The group’s next stop at a caravan park introduces Martin, an engineer working on a revolutionary mini-caravan designed for cyclists. However, things take a turn when Chris becomes embroiled in a bachelorette party dare and ends up kissing the bride, leaving Tina devastated. In her grief, she seeks solace by pushing the bride down a steep hill, where she meets a gruesome end.

The next morning, instead of exploring local attractions, Chris claims he’s helping Martin refine his innovative caravan design, sparking an argument that sends Tina packing alone. Later that night, she attempts to seduce Chris by drawing parallels between their complicity in the murders, but he rebuffs her advances, leaving her feeling isolated and trapped in this dark world.

As Chris’s slumberous reverie is shattered by Tina’s sudden departure, he stirs to find himself abandoned in the caravan while she speeds away down the highway. He hastily dials her number, his voice laced with urgency as he commands her to pull over. Upon noticing a jogger, Tina accelerates, leaving Chris aghast at the brazen display of recklessness. The couple’s argumentative dynamic is palpable as they bicker about their methodology, with Chris expressing discontent with her chaotic approach to dispatching victims. As they lay the latest casualty to rest beside the road, the tension simmers just beneath the surface.

Seeking a respite from the turmoil, they drive towards the picturesque Ribblehead Viaduct, the majestic structure looming in the distance like a beacon of their impending doom. When a hailstorm forces them to seek shelter within the caravan, Chris succumbs to exhaustion, leaving Tina free to rummage through his notebook. Her eyes widen as she discovers a sketch depicting the couple standing on the viaduct’s precipice, poised on the brink of a leap into the unknown.

The arrival of Martin and his canine companion, Banjo, serves only to heighten the sense of unease. As Chris steps outside to greet them, Tina attempts to seduce Martin with calculated charm, though her advances are met with discomfort and rejection. When Chris returns to find out what transpired, Tina fabricates a salacious tale of Martin’s come-ons, her words dripping with venom. The ensuing fight between the couple is interrupted by the sudden disappearance of Martin’s mini-caravan, which plummets off the cliffside, taking him with it.

The atmosphere within the caravan turns toxic as Chris and Tina’s bickering escalates into a violent outburst, culminating in a twisted act of passion. As the flames engulf their home on wheels, they make a break for the Ribblehead Viaduct, hand in hand, their footsteps echoing through the desolate landscape.

In a poignant moment of introspection, Chris asks Tina if she’s truly savored the holiday, her response a resounding affirmation. He apologizes for his earlier insults and queries whether she genuinely desires to take her own life. Just as he prepares to follow her into oblivion, Tina releases his hand, watching with detached fascination as he plummets to his death on the viaduct’s edge. The screen fades to black as Tina gazes upon her hand, a haunting reminder of the destructive power of their toxic bond.
