Sightseers
Sightseers is a 2012 British psychological horror film directed by Ben Wheatley.
A caravan holiday across the English Midlands turns into a killing spree, and it is a very bleak comedy about class and resentment.

Tina and Chris go on a caravanning tour of the North of England's less glamorous heritage sites, the pencil museum, the tram museum, and Chris begins killing people who irritate him, littering, condescension, owning a better caravan.
Ben Wheatley directed a script by its two stars, Alice Lowe and Steve Oram, and the tone is pitch black: the murders are sudden and matter-of-fact, and the film is really about a folie à deux between two lonely, petty people egging each other on.
It is very funny in a specifically English way, about a couple whose romance is built on shared grievance, and the caravan-park settings are filmed with real deadpan affection.
The knitwear, the National Trust gift shops, and a death by tent peg are the details people remember.
It is the most accessible of Wheatley's early films and the funniest.
