The young woman was the better actor of them all. See more Michaela 07/26/2025 Overall, okay, story. I liked the actors in the movie and was an interesting watch, but not memorable. See more James J @JimiBonds 05/28/2025 Death of a Unicorn is a film that promises magic but delivers mediocrity—a frustratingly uninspired attempt at blending dark humor with fantasy horror. The premise, centered around a mysterious unicorn and the chaos it unleashes, is ripe for an engaging story, yet the execution is lifeless. The script stumbles between forced quirkiness and half-baked satire, never fully committing to either. The biggest disappointment lies in how little the film does with its intriguing concept. The pacing drags, the world-building is weak, and the emotional stakes are nonexistent. The characters—aside from a select few—are written with such little depth that it’s hard to care about any of them. The film also suffers from a tonal imbalance, unsure whether it wants to be a biting critique of corporate greed or a macabre fairy tale, resulting in a muddled experience that fails to land its punches. Jenna Ortega delivers a decent performance when her character isn’t busy acting like an obnoxious middle schooler despite being college-aged, and Paul Rudd is, well, Paul Rudd. If there’s any reason to watch Death of a Unicorn, it’s for Will Poulter and Anthony Carrigan, who inject some much-needed humor and energy into an otherwise lifeless affair. Poulter’s comedic timing is sharp, and Carrigan’s quiet awkwardness is hilarious, stealing every scene he’s in. Their moments are the rare highlights of an otherwise forgettable movie. Unfortunately, even their charm isn’t enough to salvage a film that lacks vision, leaving Death of a Unicorn as little more than a missed opportunity.
