Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega Star in A24’s Dark Comedy 'Death of a Unicorn'

The film follows a father-daughter duo who accidentally kill a unicorn, leading to chaos and moral dilemmas at a billionaire's retreat.

Death of a Unicorn is a comedy-horror film directed by Alex Scharfman, marking his feature debut, and is set for a spring 2025 release.
Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega play a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a retreat hosted by Rudd's billionaire boss, played by Richard E. Grant.
The unicorn's miraculous properties, including a potential cure for cancer, become a source of exploitation and conflict among the characters.
The trailer teases a mix of dark humor, creature horror, and social commentary, with a second unicorn adding to the escalating chaos.
The film features an ensemble cast including Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, and Anthony Carrigan, with a score by John Carpenter and production by Ari Aster’s Square Peg.
