“I think we know exactly what it is…”
Death of a Unicorn released in theaters on March 28th 2025. The horror comedy film stars Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Téa Leoni, Sunita Mani, and Will Poulter. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-eight minutes.
After a father and his daughter accidentally strike a unicorn with their car, his boss attempts to exploit the magical creature’s curing abilities, leading to deadly consequences.
Here is the trailer:
Death of a Unicorn successfully blends horror and comedy in this outrageous flick filled with magically entertaining moments. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:

Good balance of laughs, heartfelt moments, and gore.
I get so excited when a horror comedy can accomplish this. It’s no easy task, but as long as you go into this movie expecting it to be outrageous and bonkers, you’ll have the best time.
The Leopold family reminded me quite a bit of the family in Ready or Not and we had that same kind of humor throughout the film. I think it worked very well and Will Poulter was a scene stealer.
I loved the violence and gore in the second half of the film. It really complimented the darker humor well and the sweeter moments actually warmed my heart, making the bond between Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega’s characters an effective one. Plus, I love unicorns so there’s that!

Loved the inclusion of actual unicorn lore!
The Unicorn Tapestries display at the Cloisters museum is one of my favorites and I absolutely loved that this film included and drew from it. This film recognized that it had a silly concept, but it also did its homework, providing us with lots of interesting myths and stories to enhance the overall plot.
The Cons:

A touch too long…
I think this film could have been a little bit shorter. The second half was a lot stronger for me than the first. The pacing was solid enough so I don’t think this was a major con, but I personally like my horror comedies at about 90 minutes to eliminate any unnecessary fluff.
So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!
Death of a Unicorn is trippy, completely bonkers, and A LOT of fun!
I fell in love with this movie. If you’re looking for mindless entertainment, you’re in the right place.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
