Death of a Unicorn

Releasing in the UK by Entertainment Film on 4 April 2025.

Alex Scharfman’s Death of a Unicorn is both simple and wholly unique in its premise; a father (Paul Rudd) and daughter (Jenna Ortega) accidentally hit and kill a unicorn (yes, you read that right) while en route to a weekend retreat, where his billionaire boss (Richard E. Grant) seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties.

“Jenna Ortega shines in B-movie-style satire on big pharma”

The Guardian

In this sharp satire on American capitalism and pharmaceutical exploitation, Scharfman reinvents the universally known mythical creature of the Unicorn, turning it from a cute, fluffy and abstract into something much more barbaric and sentient.

A film that has been described as an ‘Eat the Rich’ tale and compared with titles such asThe Menu and Triangle of Sadness, Death of a Unicorn stands out against this ever-expanding canon with a unique satirical spin and great central performances from its all-star cast.
