Death of a Unicorn
Do you believe in unicorns?
It’s unicorn connections, unicorn tapestries, & unicorn revenge in this fantasy horror comedy. On his way to his billionaire boss’s retreat home, widower Eliot (Paul Rudd) & teenage daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega) accidentally hit this supposedly mythical creature & they panic so they stuff the lifeless young foal carcass into their car for later disposal. The Leopolds (Richard E. Grant, Téa Leoni, & Will Poulter) are rich, spoiled, entitled elitists. After the brief revival of the unicorn & an experimental test, the Leopolds greedily jump at the financial potential availed to them by this extremely rare find. However, it's not all rainbows & happiness when the parental unicorns come looking for their baby. It’s a bloody satirical fun ride so buckle up if you like gory humor. Most probably have never imagined this dark side possibility from these mystical creatures.
Alien gives it 3 “Leopold Wildlife Reserve” stars out of 4.
