Happy people are finding enjoyment in this but found it to be a slog. Grating humor, puddle deep themes, emotionally disingenuous, maybe the most unlikable Paul Rudd has ever been? Classic case of a movie that has nothing interesting to say so it attempts to distract you…

The poor baby died like three times 😭
zxki is "meh" onDeath of a UnicornI wanted to like this, especially for its metaphors on exploitation, grief, greed and morality. The unicorns too, of course. Unfortunately, it got almost repetitive and somehow bland the more it went on. Each character/cast is a realistic stereotype, and I loved them all as well as the comedy, but…
Medium Dave likedDeath of a UnicornI had a lot of fun with this movie. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun playing their roles. Some cartoonish villains to bring the urban fantasy premise into full swing. Unicorns were wonderful and brutal

I can understand why people don’t like this film. But the themes and ideas resonated with me so deeply that I overlooked the style of the film that I don’t usually enjoy. The type of humor that I like to call, marvel-esq or superhero movie humor. It’s not for me. I wasn’t a fan of how hyperbolic…
Charlie Mills is "meh" onDeath of a UnicornYeah this was a different a24 film, Jenna Ortega was ok in her role. Idk A24s obsession of vapes 🤣🤣. Will poulter was funny in this. The story was kinda predictable and I felt a little bored. The unicorns didn’t look great like the CG and the design. Solid 5/10
Jordan is "meh" onDeath of a UnicornJust watched Death of a Unicorn, and honestly, Will Poulter carried. Best character in the whole cast. Classic cold dad, dead mom, and an emo daughter who’s mad at the world. Some moments cracked me up though. “When I touched the horn…” 😂 My Little Pony ain’t taken no 💩 That unicorn colt got…
- Morgan is "meh" onDeath of a Unicorn
it was… okay, i did enjoy some parts of it for being a comedy, it wasn’t all that funny but will poulter BY FAR did the best job, i laughed the most at his jokes i wanted to appreciate the commentary about rich people and greed but it was really simple and too on the nose for me
Clay Werner likedDeath of a Unicorn6.9 - Decent enough blend of family drama & creature horror at its core, but ultimately left me asking for a lot more. Maybe I’m going too easy on it, but my gut reaction was that was fun, if a bit too simple. The kills are good, but they’re sparse & not always earned. The dark comedy is funny…
DL Cooper likedDeath of a UnicornColorful, bloody, cool creature design. A little messy, a little ham-fisted. The old man was pretty out of sync with the script, he did his thing but I think one of the film’s biggest misses is a miscast of that role. Otherwise the characters were mostly in the same movie and the concept was fun…

This is just one of those movies that you don’t know why you went and watched it, but after it’s done you feel both thankful you did but at the same time relieved it’s over.
RPRichard Pina JrSoo talk about being stunned broski! All the feels and most importantly all the hope dude?? I mean come on!?! If you can read between the lines with this movie you’ll be able to handle anything coming these next three years and that’s the T!

Charm magnets Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd do their best to lift this horror comedy out of the quicksand of cliches that surround it but it’s a losing proposition.

It all makes for a clever, measured, mirthful, and joyous film with the real potential to be a modern monster movie classic whose legs could easily see it sprinting into being a routine rewatch every single year.

If you want to watch a bunch of silly rich people get murdered by a unicorn, this is the film for you. And if you want to watch Jenna Ortega co-lead a horror/comedy slasher movie again, you're gonna have a good time.
