A new A24 dark fantasy comedy, 'Death of a Unicorn,' starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd, explores the bizarre scenario of a father and daughter who accidentally run over a unicorn, leading to unexpected and dangerous consequences.
Death of a Unicorn', directed by Alex Scharfman, blends dark humor with fantasy, creating a unique cinematic experience. The film delves into themes of family dynamics, grief, and the exploitation of nature by the wealthy. Elliot and Ridley's accidental killing of a unicorn sets off a chain of events that exposes the absurdity of the Leopold family's ambitions. Ortega's Ridley serves as the moral compass, challenging the unethical pursuit of the unicorn's powers, while the parents of the dead unicorn seek revenge.\n\nThe film builds on Ortega's horror and dark-comedy experiences, while providing Rudd a rare return to the genre. The chemistry between Ortega and Rudd is a highlight, born from their first scene together. Their interactions form the emotional core of the narrative, adding complexity to the dark comedy. The choice to create the unicorns via practical effects enhances the movie's immersive weirdness.
