Ben Wheatley hasn't been making features for very long, but he's sure good at making his time count.

Blacker than the La Brea Tar Pits, director Ben Wheatley's dark comedy about a couple of serial killer lovebirds is an exquisitely funny movie.

It's hard to describe just what it is that makes Ben Wheatley's Sightseers by far one of the more incredible blisteringly dark comedies of the last several decades without giving away too much, but suffice to say Wheatley is in top form with his latest effort.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you've seen Kill List, Sightseers and/or Down Terrace you know Ben Wheatley likes to make the kind of movies most film professors would label "Fucking Weird" so it seems like a marriage made in heaven that Drafthouse Films is distributing his latest fuckin' weird movie A FIELD IN ENGLAND.

A few years ago, Ben Wheatley helped his friend get hit by a car. It turned out to be an excellent career move.

Scrub away the gore and the nastier bits of provocation, and Ben Wheatley's Sightseers belongs squarely in the tradition of British classics like Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ruling Class - satires that transformed simmering class resentment into brittle, nasty dark comedy.

Pick up your musket and watch out for sorcerers: Drafthouse Films will be releasing A Field in England , the new historical horror from subversive British film maker Ben Wheatley .

Two horror flicks open this week after making the film-festival rounds, both more horrible than horrifying.
