Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega Shine in A24’s ‘Death of a Unicorn’
Alright, let’s talk about something pretty wild coming from A24—it's called Death of a Unicorn , and trust me, this one’s got everything: Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, a darkly comedic premise, and a stunning, retro-style poster that looks straight out of the ’80s. If you’re a fan of the surreal, bizarre, and just a little bit gory, this one should be on your radar.
So, what’s the story here? Paul Rudd plays a father who’s heading off on a weekend retreat with his daughter, played by the ever-talented Jenna Ortega. But things take a strange turn when they accidentally hit and kill… wait for it… a unicorn. Yeah, you heard that right. A full-on, mythical unicorn. But here’s where it gets even crazier—their billionaire host, played by Richard E. Grant, sees this magical creature not as a tragic loss but as an opportunity. Because apparently, this unicorn has some kind of miraculous healing properties, and let’s just say, things start spiraling into absolute chaos from there.

The film is the feature debut of writer-director Alex Scharfman and is produced by horror mastermind Ari Aster—the genius behind Hereditary and Midsommar . So, you already know this movie is going to push the boundaries of weird, unsettling, and oddly hilarious.
Now, let’s talk about that stunning poster. The artwork was created by Tony Stella, known for his hand-painted, vintage-style movie posters. It gives off major Drew Struzan vibes—think classic Indiana Jones or Star Wars posters. This kind of artistry adds a whole new layer to the film’s already nostalgic and surreal tone.
Early reactions from SXSW have been intriguing. While some critics praise the film’s unique concept and over-the-top spectacle, others feel that it doesn’t quite hit as hard as it could. But let’s be honest—watching the elite get torn apart in a brutally bizarre story involving a unicorn? Sounds like a wild ride, and I’m here for it.
So, if you’re into dark comedies with a fantastical edge, Death of a Unicorn is hitting theaters this weekend. Get ready for something totally unexpected.
