Death of a Unicorn operates on a level of “it’s fine”, without landing any knock-out blows.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2025

I've truly never seen a unicorn story quite like this. Wild, magical and bloody horror anchored by a father-daughter story led by Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

People often say there is nothing new and unique in cinema. This movie proves that wrong - part comedy, part horror. Somehow it all comes together and will have you laughing out loud while also delivering a powerful message.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

…if you love animals, you probably don’t want to see them treated cruelly, so the basic revenge conceit of Death of a Unicorn seems like a non-starter…the kind of Hollyweird production that makes you wonder how such misjudged films come to be made...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 19, 2025

I had a fun time with this and very much enjoyed it. The performances and watching unicorns go nuts was hilarious.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2025

Despite some issues I had with the graphics and overall tone, I did appreciate the originality of this film and the hilarious performances of Will Poulter and Anthony Carrigan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2025

In all fairness, it’s tempting to overlook the ridiculousness of the premise and the unnecessarily fit-to-burst narrative when we’re in the company of such a lively cast clearly having fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2025

There are plenty of laughs to be had, but the vicious bloodletting starts to overwhelm all the film’s other attributes.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 17, 2025

Oh, them silly unicorns - it turns out they're murderous, malicious monsters in Alex Scharfman's debut, which is having a lot of fun being a satirical takedown of elitism but falters when it comes to a hokey, strained relationship between a milquetoast...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2025

It’s hard to seem even-handed, but, even though it’s predictable, not scary, and the jokes are overcooked, Death of a Unicorn isn’t a bad watch. It’s a film that has good qualities in a banal package.

| Original Score: C | Apr 14, 2025

With Scharfman’s clunking screenplay neither as satirically witty nor as scary as it needs to be, Death of a Unicorn’s potential is fatally impaled by shockingly poor CGI

| Apr 13, 2025

Probably read great conceptually - a fantasy-horror-comedy that sharpens its horn on greedy big-business ethics - but...can’t nail the landing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2025

The really weird monster parts of it were fun, [but] the satire has no bite.

| Original Score: C | Apr 12, 2025

When one looks at a unicorn, one would think of imagination, wonder, and beauty – things that would motivate inspiration among many. Which makes the title of the film Death of a Unicorn such a fitting way to describe how mediocre it is.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2025

Yawnsies. Should have been called Death of a Good Idea.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 11, 2025

...[Death of a Unicorn] is the good-taste version of an innately bad-taste idea.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2025

Death of a Unicorn delivers a robust blend of humor, making us laugh through the painful reality, and enjoy seeing some unicorns get their kicks.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2025

An ineffective yet entertaining satire that blends comedy and horror with uneven results. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2025

Aside from the shoddy effects and clichéd moments, Alex Scharfman delivers a fantastical horror-comedy highlighted by Jenna Ortega and Will Poulter, who make great antagonists.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2025

This is sadly unsuccessful as both an eat-the-rich satire and a schlocky B-movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2025
