1.5/4

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.

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

8/10

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.

3.5/5

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.

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.

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.

This had so much potential, the actors were good, but there are so many plot holes! Huge jumps in action that move characters all over the place with no transition. The whole revenge idea is hardly touched, everything is over very quickly with an ending that does not deliver real justice to the villain. So disappointed.

A vampire hunts down the racist hillbilly family that hates immigrants and other people of color......never ever watch this movie again despite a good cast.

What a waste of time. I do not recommend watching it. Geez. I could have clipped my dog's toe nails and found it more interesting... just saying. And please don't preach to me about immigrants just looking for a better home. Some immigrants are just looking to suck the life out of legal taxpayers. In fact, those kind of immigrants are the real blood suckers and horror in our world. Stupid movie.

I was looking for a horror movie. This wasn't it. I thought maybe it would be a vampire movie. Nope, wrong again. What it was is the white trash, racist trope. The scariest thing in there was the white supremacist family that was killing anyone they didn't like. It was a total eye roll. Anyways I would like my 90 minutes back. 🙄
