At South by Southwest (SXSW), it was A24’s “Death of a Unicorn” that made its debut, and as critics start sharing their thoughts on the movie, there’s a range of opinions about its wild blend of horror and comedy.
What are the Death of a Unicorn reviews saying?
Currently, the movie “Death of a Unicorn” has been rated at 67% on Rotten Tomatoes following 21 reviews. The film has stirred up mixed reactions among critics, with some appreciating its chaotic style, while others find that its family drama element falls short.
As stated by Jessi Cape from the Austin Chronicle, the film may not stand out exceptionally, but it offers a wild spectacle of two hours filled with chaotic unicorn violence. The Chronicle also refers to this movie as an entertaining mix of corniness and horniness, or in simpler terms, a fun, flamboyant experience.
Brian Tallerico from RogerEbert.com commented that the movie had similarities to Jurassic Park, stating it as a tale that Michael Crichton would appreciate, being a story about the affluent disregarding not only the warnings before them but also the history and mythology of this world.
According to Peter Debruge at Variety, the film aligns perfectly with A24’s distinctive “quirky-arthouse style,” and it transforms into an exceptionally strange and brutally graphic horror movie. On the other hand, Trace Sauveur from Paste pointed out the social critique aspects, stating that there’s a delightful sense of schadenfreude as we watch a bunch of arrogant wealthy individuals receive their comeuppance in a world where such events are becoming increasingly rare.
Under the direction of Alex Scharfman, the movie titled “Death of a Unicorn” will hit theaters nationwide on March 28, 2025.
As a fervent fan, I’m thrilled to share that alongside Ortega and Rudd, this upcoming film boasts an impressive cast including Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Richard E. Grant, Anthony Carrigan, Sunita Mani, Jessica Hynes, and Steve Park. This production is executive produced by the dynamic duo of Ortega and Rudd, alongside Ari Aster, David Darby, Jacob Epstein, Nate Kamiya, and Michael Williams. The talented team behind the scenes includes Tyler Campellone, Tim Headington, Drew Houpt, Lucas Joaquin, Lars Knudsen, Theresa Steele Page, Barbara Reardon, Justin Reardon, and Alex Scharfman. I can hardly wait to see this masterpiece come together!
Alongside the creative team are cinematographer Larry Fong, editor Ron Dulin, and musical duo Giosué Greco and Dan Romer, who are responsible for the film’s score.
