“Sunrise” (** out of four) was a maundering, meandering horror melodrama about various animals in a small town that are turning up dead and a creature of the night (Alex Pettyfer) wanders in the midst carving his plans for vengeance against the town preacher (Guy Pearce) who years earlier killed his family. Well-lensed by Ivan Abel and directed with flair and mood by Andrew Baird but story and characters never gel and film remains plodding and pretentious. Pearce chews up the scenery and adds whatever style he can as the main villain.
