Death of a Unicorn (2025)

1h 48mins

6/10

First time watch in the cinema

Mythical – Comedy – Horror

On their way to a wealthy family’s mansion to finalise a business deal, a father and daughter accidentally hit a unicorn, which unleashes a dark and chaotic chain of events driven by greed and curiosity.

I really enjoyed this fresh new story among what feels like a sea of remakes or sequel/prequels.

I thought it was going to be more of a comedy thriller but feel it was more of a comedy horror, where most of the gory scenes were too much for squeamish old me. I feel I would have enjoyed it more if the acts of violence had been implied and left to your imagination, rather than being shown so graphically on screen.

I enjoyed the unravelling on the history/lore of unicorns.

A funny, unique story poking fun at capitalistic society and the lives of the elite wealthy. Just a bit too much “eww gross” gore for me that I felt was unnecessary. Although, personally I feel pretty much all graphic gore is unnecessary when it comes to entertainment in films.

Would watch again
