Plot: 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).
Review: “The Sun Never Sets On Evil” may just be the most generic tagline for a vampire film possible. So I understand if you, like myself, are trepidatious when it comes to Sunrise. The basic vampire formula has been used time and time again but I always appreciate it when someone has an interesting new vision. On the surface, this is a simple story of a vampire helping a family get justice. But it’s so much more than that. I’ve always believed that it doesn’t matter how generic the story is, so long as it executes those ideas. And Sunrise provides a beautiful tragedy with some wonderful performances.

Sunrise Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Alex Pettyfer, Crystal Yu, William Gao, Kurt Yaeger, Olwen Fouéré, Guy Pearce
Director: Andrew Baird
Sunrise Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Lionsgate Movies / YouTube )
What’s Good: Guy Pearce’s sharp performance as the detestable Joe Reynolds stands out, capturing the essence of a villain with racist ideologies and a sense of entitlement. The film occasionally succeeds in capturing the gritty essence reminiscent of top-tier vampire films, exploring the terrifying aspects of racism and violence.
What’s Bad: “Sunrise” grapples with generic dialogue, a lack of character depth, and an inconsistent exploration of its intriguing concepts. The film’s attempt to fuse a vampire story with themes of American racism feels awkward and lacks nuance. The narrative meanders through various genres, resulting in a slow and disorganized amalgamation of ideas.

Will Fallon be able to teach Reynolds a good lesson? Will Mrs. Loi and her children attain justice? Let’s find out!
Spoilers Ahead
What Happened To The Loi Family?
Reynolds, a staunch nationalist American, has been portrayed as extremely racist and is seen getting into a conflict with a peasant, Mr. Loi. Reynolds told Mr. Loi (a mongoloid) that since he was not the same race as him, he did not have a right to own land in America.

Featuring a sedate Guy Pearce, Andrew Baird’s directorial debut “Blade-Runner” -lite “Zone 414” wastes a compelling premise on an overly-long neo-noir that teases a post-technocratic society in which androids and humans are segregated and only interact within the titular Zone. While riffing off almost every film about androids that came before it — “A.I.,” “Ex Machina,” etc.

Just two months ago, the horror anthology Scare Package premiered on Shudder, which was spearheaded by Aaron B. Koontz (and it involved a handful of other talented filmmakers as well) and Cameron Burns. Now, the duo is back with yet another genre offering, The Pale Door, which pits a group of cowboys against a coven of witches.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Koontz about his latest film, and he discussed how Keith Lansdale got involved in the project, the immense challenges they faced during production on The Pale Door, and how Koontz was able to pull together a murderers’ row of talent in front of the screen for the horror Western.
The Pale Door will be in theaters this weekend and will also be available to stream on VOD and Digital platforms as well, courtesy of Rlje Films/Shudder, followed by a Blu-ray, DVD, VOD, and...
