Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega's Twisted Fantasy Hits Digital Soon
Alright, so let’s talk about something weird, wild, and honestly kind of hilarious—Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega starring in a horror comedy called Death of a Unicorn . Yep, you heard that right. A unicorn. And not just any unicorn... one that gets hit by a car. It’s bizarre, it's gory, and it's getting a digital release soon, so get ready for some mythical madness in your living room.
So, here’s the scoop: Death of a Unicorn had its theatrical debut on March 28, and it’s already lined up for premium video-on-demand release on April 29. You’ll be able to stream it on Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home. If you’re the type who likes to own what you watch, it’s available for pre-order on Prime Video for $24.99.

Now, let’s get into what the movie’s actually about. The plot is as ridiculous as it is entertaining: Paul Rudd plays a dad, Jenna Ortega is his daughter, and on the way to a retreat, they accidentally hit and kill a unicorn. Yeah, that kind of unicorn. Sparkly, magical, and apparently full of miracle healing powers. The twist? Rudd’s billionaire boss—played by Richard E. Grant—wants to exploit the creature’s magical properties, and chaos ensues.
Directed and written by Alex Scharfman, the cast is stacked beyond just Rudd and Ortega. You’ve got Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, Jessica Hynes, Kathryn Erbe, and Téa Leoni rounding out the crew. It’s rated R, so expect plenty of splatter, satire, and seriously campy moments.
Critics? Kind of split. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored a 53% critic rating, meaning some thought it tried a bit too hard to be edgy and quirky. But the audience is vibing with it—there’s a 78% audience score, calling it “an imaginative and grizzly take on a mythical creature.” I mean, it is Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega—it’s hard not to enjoy them together, even when they’re in the middle of some twisted unicorn mayhem.
Financially, the film has made around $12.3 million globally, which is a little shy of its $15 million production budget. But with the PVOD release on the way, there’s still hope it breaks even or maybe becomes a cult favorite.
So if you’re into offbeat horror comedies, wild satire, or just want to see Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega tackle a unicorn problem, keep your eyes peeled for April 29. This one’s definitely going to be a streaming conversation starter.
