Details

The latest release from cult studio A24 is a gleefully gory creature feature and satirical comedy, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, and executive produced by Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar). This wild genre hybrid, which premiered at SXSW, is "two hours of frenzied unicorn carnage and it’s a corny-horny blast." (Austin Chronicle)
A darkly hilarious critique of unfettered wealth, capitalistic opportunism, and human ignorance, Death of a Unicorn follows Elliot (Rudd), a workaholic lawyer for a pharmaceutical company, who is taking his malcontent daughter Ridley (Ortega) to his boss’ rustic estate in the Canadian Rockies. On the drive there, though, he hits an animal and quickly realises it’s a unicorn. When Elliot’s callous employer Odell Leopold (Richard E. Grant) recognises that the unicorn has medicinal qualities, he sees a lucrative market for a potent new drug. Little do they know, however, that other unicorns reside in the woods, and are preparing to seek vengeance.

Reviews
Highly eccentric and unapologetically grisly... The combination paid off to spontaneous eruptions of applause from the audience at the SXSW.
There’s a satisfying sense of schadenfreudian indulgence to watching a group of rich assholes get what’s coming to them.
An ambitious movie that is as crowd-pleasing as it is buzzing with energy.
A sharp-horned satire against Big Pharma.
Every member of this film’s ensemble understood the assignment... there’s great joy in just watching this group of performers do their thing.
