Cult new dark comedy film

It's been described as 'a cult hit waiting to happen' – and now Chortle readers can have a sneak preview of the new darkly comic movie Sightseers more than a week before it hits cinemas

The film, from director Ben Wheatley, stars comedy favourites Alice Lowe and Steve Oram as a couple taking a caravan trip through Britain, seeing such sights as the Keswick Pencil Museum, until the frustrations of travelling tip them over into a murderous spree.

Written by Lowe and Oram and with Edgar Wright as executive producer, the movie opens on November 30 – but we have 10 pairs of tickets to be won to a BFI screening in London on November 22.

The special event will include a Q&A with director and cast, and the audience will also include a number of comedians.

Sightseers got strong reviews when it aired as one of the gala films at the London Film Festival last month, with Screen International calling it 'dark, funny and at times very bloody'. Here's a trailer.

To stand a chance of winning, answer the following question by 5pm on November 15, when we will select the winners from all correct answers received. Usual terms and conditions apply.

Good luck!
