Death of a Unicorn (2025) is a dark fantasy comedy horror film directed by Alex Scharfman in his directorial debut. The film stars Paul Rudd as Elliot Kintner, a widowed father, and Jenna Ortega as his teenage daughter, Ridley. Their lives take an unexpected turn when they accidentally strike and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat hosted by Elliot's billionaire boss, Odell Leopold (played by Richard E. Grant). The duo transports the injured creature to the Leopold estate, where its miraculous healing properties are soon discovered. The Leopolds, led by Odell, exploit the unicorn's body for its curative abilities, leading to unforeseen consequences. As the story unfolds, the Kintners find themselves entangled in a web of corporate greed and moral dilemmas. The film explores themes of exploitation, corporate ethics, and the unforeseen repercussions of tampering with nature's wonders.
While the film presents a promising concept blending mythological fantasy with social satire and dark humor, it has received mixed reviews from critics. Some praise the performances, particularly Ortega's, but others criticize the film's inconsistent tone and lackluster execution. Despite its flaws, Death of a Unicorn offers a unique and imaginative take on the horror-comedy genre.The film premiered at the South by Southwest Festival on March 8, 2025, and was released theatrically in the United States by A24 on March 28, 2025. It is currently available for streaming on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video
