It's deliberately slow pace and meandering storytelling can be a bit much, but it's got enough about it to make it a cult classic. It's not a special effects laden gore fest, but Guy Pearce's character had all the horror you need. It's also beautiful to look at.

The absence of any compelling characters hinders ‘Sunrise' throughout its brief runtime.

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

Bradley Gibson

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

Niall Browne

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

It simply doesn’t work up enough mystery or excitement before an underwhelming climax, leaving the whole slow-moving enterprise feeling half-baked.
