Death of a Unicorn

"I can really appreciate a storyline that doesn't feel recycled and enjoyed this movie for that reason... however, I walked away from this movie just thinking about how dumb it was overall. Paul Rudd's character was just completely flat."

"I didn’t expect this to be as good as it was! Honestly a really funny film"

"Death of a Unicorn was fun to see on the big screen. Will Poulter is easily the standout, but it's always cool to see Richard E. Grant as well. I hope we get more unicorn movies in the future."

" Elliot is up for this big promotion with this insurance/pharmaceutical company, and they invite him out to this nature reserve to meet with him and his family. He brings his daughter along. Speeding he takes his eyes off the road, and they hit a unicorn. They didn't want to leave it there, so they put it in the back of the SUV. During the meeting they found out it was still alive. They also find out it has some healing properties. You know the durg company is only interested in exploited the situation. However, they do not realize there are consequences for doing the wrong thing. The comedy parts of this were pretty solid....especially the oldest son. Rudd and Ortega were good for the most part. I was surprised I actually found Rudd's character a bit unlikable. It felt like his character should have gotten to the point and did the right thing a lot sooner based on the way they presented the character.. The creature design was solid but they used CGI in places were practical effects would have looked better. They had a message here about big pharma that they kind of beat you over the head with. I was hoping they would have gone with more of a grey area where the bad guy's kind of have a point instead of making it so straight forward. They also didnt seem to know how to end it. What they gave us felt tacked on and unnecessary. They got the comedy part right but the horror left me wanting. It's not really scary at all. Overall it's ok but I was a little disappointed this wasn't better. Please check out my podcast Mostly Low Budget Movie Reviews with Clarence for a more detailed breakdown.

"Loved it!! Had lots of vibes from other classic movies like Jurassic Park! Great acting, awesome story and ending!"

"Truly never seen anything like it before. A unicorn action horror film filed with gore and magic! Such a unique concept. It was somewhat boring in the beginning but by the end it picked up and kept me hooked. Definitely recommend if you like outside the box films"

"this movie was amazing. it was bloody and funny and beautiful imagery in this movie. i watched it when it came out and i think about it quite a bit. beautiful film."

"This is honestly one of the most wild movies I've seen in a while. I mean, who comes up with a story about killer unicorns? It’s got a great cast, with Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega delivering solid performances as a dad-daughter duo who get caught up in a wild situation. The Leopolds, played by Richard E. Grant, Tea Leoni, and Will Poulter, are pretty interesting (if not always likable) characters. I definitely didn’t like them. The real star of the show, though, is the unicorns. They're both beautiful and terrifying, and the special effects are really impressive. The movie's got a great energy, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat as things get crazier and crazier. The themes of exploitation and playing with forces you don't understand are pretty clear, and I think that's one of the strongest parts of the film. It's not subtle, but it's effective. If I'm being picky, some of the characters could've been fleshed out a bit more, but honestly, the pacing is so fast that it doesn't really matter. One thing that did stand out to me, though, was the casting. I'm a huge Paul Rudd fan, and I loved him in this, but for some reason, he just didn't quite mesh with the rest of the cast for me. I think if the cast had been a bit different, it could have elevated the whole movie. Still, it's worth watching, even if it's just for the sheer craziness of it all. 7.5/10"

"It was fresh and fun. So of course critics didn’t like it. It’s like a Fantasy/Horror version of Knives Out without the mystery. With a jerky rich family though. Ending it a little open ended hurts it since that is unnecessary."

"Horrific then sweet"
