Our Review Editorial
Equal parts comedy, horror and dark fairy tale, this offbeat creature feature opens with a father and daughter accidentally running down a unicorn on their way to a weekend retreat. Things spiral fast once his billionaire boss catches wind of the creature's miraculous curative powers and sets out to exploit them. Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega anchor the chaos, with Richard E. Grant and Will Poulter sharpening the satire of greed run amok when the mythical collides with the obscenely wealthy.
Wicked, gory and gleefully absurd, this is genre-bending fun for viewers who like their fantasy with bite and their horror laced with laughs. The pacing builds from quirky setup to escalating mayhem, letting the comedy and carnage feed off each other. Audiences who enjoy A24-style oddities, satirical horror-comedy and stories where the rich get exactly what they deserve will have a blast.
