This is an extremely self-serious dirge of a movie with a sharp performance from Guy Pearce, but no idea what to do with him or the decent ideas it has under its surface.

Rated: 1.5/4

An impressive accomplishment in style, form and ambition, Andrew Baird continues his streak of delivering high octane action with a Hollywood finish.

Film Threat

Pearce and Pettyfer both deliver powerhouse performances. Despite this being a lower-budget film, Guy Pearce chews the scenery with sound and fury equal to anything else he’s done.

Rated: 8/10

Movies in Focus

At the centre of Sunrise is a terse and truculent turn from Guy Pearce. Pearce has long been a reliable performer, and here he chews the scenery without ever veering into pantomime villain territory.

Rated: 3.5/5

Kat Halstead

Common Sense Media

A dark, menacing atmosphere, gradual trickling of plot reveals, and wary, knife-edge performances from a strong cast make this a gritty, slow-burn thriller that will unsettle the soul.

Cultured Vultures

Sunrise has one good performance, and that's Guy Pearce as the villain. But that isn't enough to merit a watch, not when the film's pace is sluggish and the characters are barely developed.

Rated: 4/10

What a squandered opportunity. So much brooding build up only to lose it all in a weak and disjointed final act. Shame.

Interesting plot but not enough action to sustain it. You also get lost in the flashbacks which are confusing

I was liking this from the very start, and it didn’t really let up all throughout, but then it started doing flashbacks. While flashbacks usually do muddle things, I’m not sure I’d like this as much if the story is told in a more linear manner without flashbacks. The fact that I am not the biggest fan of vampire movies is even a greater testament to this anomaly being as likeable as it is. Very well done.

2024's 'Sunrise' is a low budget film with a unique and bloody spin on the vampire mythos. SYNOPSIS: 'A man, Fallon (Alex Pettyfer) roams the land as a creature of the night as he comes to terms with tragic loss of his family at the hands of a brutal demagogue, Reynolds (Guy Pearce).' 'Sunrise' has a dark and menacing atmosphere throughout but God it's slow going. If not going in reverse at times. It's the gritty performances from Pearce and Pettyfer that hold the film together, and apart from a interesting look into what a vampire actually is there's not a lot here. Very much a vampire film you can pass by. Bland at best. 3/10

Took forever to get to the point and when it did the vampire was weak sauce.
