Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd Star in Modest Opening for 'Death of a Unicorn'

News summary

A24's horror-comedy film "Death of a Unicorn," featuring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, explores the unintended consequences of an accident involving a unicorn, leading to a conflict with its vengeful parents. The film has garnered mixed reviews, with critics noting it lacks the expected eccentricity, although Will Poulter's performance as an inept heir adds humor. Despite the star power and a unique premise, the movie only grossed $700K in Thursday previews, attributed to genre oversaturation and competition from similar titles. Ortega's character, Ridley, faces emotional turmoil as the story unfolds, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with the film's antagonist, leading to a poignant moment of loss. The film's narrative delves into themes of familial dynamics and moral dilemmas, especially as Elliot, played by Rudd, realizes the consequences of his ambitions. Overall, while it may not meet all expectations, "Death of a Unicorn" retains entertaining elements worth watching.
