Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega have to deal with the horrifying consequences when they accidentally run over a unicorn.
Given the title, it should come as no surprise that Death of a Unicorn revolves around a unicorn being killed!
In this horror comedy, Paul Rudd plays a widowed corporate lawyer named Elliot, who drags his teenage daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega) along to a weekend stay at the plush estate of pharmaceutical giant Odell Leopold (Richard E. Grant).
Elliot works for the Leopold family – also including wife Belinda (Téa Leoni) and son Shephard (Will Poulter) – and is there to discuss business.
However, things go awry for Elliot when he hits a unicorn with his car on the way and stuffs it into the back of his car.
When they find out that the unicorn’s purple blood contains healing properties that can magically clear up acne and cure cancer (among other benefits presumably), the Leopolds want to capitalise on this groundbreaking discovery and make the most out of the mythical creature.
Their greedy money-making plans are hindered...
