ALEX PETTYFER AND GUY PEARCE STAR IN SUNRISE
VAMPIRE LORE CHILLER OUT NOW IN UK & IRELAND
17 June 2024, London UK – Guy Pearce’s SUNRISE is released today in the UK & Ireland on digital platforms.
Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike, I Am Number Four) goes up against Memento and L.A. Confidential star Guy Pearce in SUNRISE, a stunning piece of horror that delivers both fresh and familiar bloody legends of vampirism’ (Warped Perspective).
Directed by Andrew Baird (One Way), and written by Ronan Blaney (Oscar-nominated for Boogaloo and Graham), SUNRISE also stars Crystal Yu (Doctor Who), Olwen Fouéré (The Watchers, Tarot) John Connors (Love/Hate). Featuring a marvellously malevolent performance from Pearce, and with Pettyfer on top form, ‘reminiscent of Christopher Lambert in Highlander’ (Film Threat).
A cross between True Detective and Angel Heart, SUNRISE is a slow-burning and thoughtful horror film that encompasses themes of religion, racism and revenge. Like the recent UK horror hit Bull, in SUNRISE nothing is quite what it seems.
SYNOPSIS: When a former cop named Fallon returns to the scene of a horrific crime, the residents of a rural town discover that he is really a vampire who feeds on blood and fear. Befriended by a kind immigrant family, the instinctive killer soon faces a choice of revenge or redemption.
SUNRISE is available now on digital platforms including Google, Apple TV, Sky and Amazon.
