In this episode, we take a hard look at Death of a Unicorn (2025), A24’s latest horror-comedy that aims for satire but may not fully hit its mark. Directed by Alex Scharfman and starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, the film follows a father and daughter whose accidental killing of a unicorn spirals into a corporate nightmare driven by greed, power, and mystical exploitation.

While Death of a Unicorn has an undeniably unique premise, does it successfully balance horror, humor, and social commentary? We break down the film’s tone, pacing, and execution, discussing whether its satirical “eat-the-rich” themes land effectively or feel underdeveloped. Are the performances and visuals enough to carry a story that might not dig as deep as it thinks? And does A24’s genre-blending magic work this time, or does this film get lost in its own ambitions?
