Reviews
Review: Jenna Ortega gives 'Death of a Unicorn' a beating heart amid horror cliches Film critic Peter Travers reviews "Death of a Unicorn" by Alex Scharfman.
Review: Death of a Unicorn - Chicago Reader Alex Scharfman’s debut film Death of a Unicorn is a hollow spectacle masquerading as novel social commentary.
Death of a Unicorn Learns All the Right Lessons from Jurassic Park: Review The bloody A24 horror-comedy, in theaters starting March 28th, stars Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega.
‘Death of a Unicorn’ review: Jenna Ortega a redeeming presence in this class-conscious monster movie The horror comedy, starring Ortega and Paul Rudd, serves up a darkly comic tale where the rich are the prey and the unicorns steal the show.
'Death of a Unicorn' review: Monster movie could use some magic Unicorns aren't the majestic beings we think they are in this rickety horror comedy.
Death Of A Unicorn Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega accidentally kill a unicorn and try to profit from their discovery in A24's horror-comedy. Read the Empire review.
Death of a Unicorn with Jenna Ortega is as basic as creature features get – review Paul Rudd and the ‘Wednesday’ star play a father-daughter duo who run over a mythical creature, in this banal ‘eat the rich’ horror-comedy
Death of a Unicorn is goofy, gory and grating - but Richard E Grant saves it This eat-the-rich comedy-horror featuring a unicorn on the rampage has few fresh ideas
Death of a Unicorn review – goodbye horses, good riddance Alex Scharfman rallies together a cast stacked with comedic actors, but the result of this dull ‘Eat the Rich’ flick misses the mark.
Death of a Unicorn Offers Up Amusing, Familiar Impale-the-Rich Cinema Death of a Unicorn's social critique is increasingly familiar, but it's still hard to deny the pleasure if its impale-the-rich gonzo action.
Death of a Unicorn movie review (2025) It’s silly fun at a time when it feels like we could all use an escape.
We Deserve a Better Takedown of the Rich Than 'Death of a Unicorn' It's got stars, mythical creatures, gore, and a grudge against Big Pharma — but this A24 satire has absolutely zero bite.
Eat the rich films have run their course The bland satire in "Death of a Unicorn" makes its message unappetizing, there are tastier options.
'Death of a Unicorn' Review: Sticking It to Big Pharma Alex Scharfman's 'Death of a Unicorn' suggests 'Rules of the Game' cross-bred with a Spielberg creature feature.
Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega star in this film that isn’t for viewers with weak stomachs Death of a Unicorn is the good-taste version of an innately bad-taste idea – and should satisfy fans of both arthouse and horror.
Killer unicorns are coming to get you in horror-comedy Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega and Richard E. Grant headline Death of a Unicorn, which poses the question, what if the mythical creatures were real and vengeful?
Death of a Unicorn review — a dire satirical horror comedy falls flat There is nothing to cheer about in this dreadful film about Big Pharma parasites, full of slipshod character work, cartoon performances and static plotting
'Death of a Unicorn' Forces the Fantasy An outlandish plot makes 'Death of a Unicorn' feel like exhausting, enforced fun
