Overview

• Directed by Alex Scharfman in his debut, the film blends dark humor, creature horror, and family drama to critique wealth, greed, and environmental exploitation.
• Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, and Will Poulter, the story follows a father-daughter duo who accidentally kill a unicorn, leading to chaos at a billionaire's retreat.
• Will Poulter's performance as a pampered heir has been singled out as a standout amidst an otherwise mixed critical reception.
• While praised for its satirical ambition, the film has faced criticism for predictable storytelling, tonal inconsistencies, and subpar visual effects.
