REVIEW: Death of a Unicorn (2025 Film) Starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega

Image
  A Bizarre, Mythical Collision of Satire and Fantasy Death of a Unicorn is a rare breed in modern cinema. It presents a completely original story that blends absurd comedy, biting satire and eerie folklore into a surprisingly emotional experience. Written and directed by Alex Scharfman in his feature debut, the film takes a concept that sounds absurd and transforms it into something oddly grounded and occasionally profound. The plot follows Elliot Kintner (Paul Rudd) and his daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega) as they travel to the countryside estate of Elliot’s boss. During the drive, they accidentally hit a unicorn. What starts as a freak accident quickly spirals into a strange and dangerous situation. The unicorn’s mystical properties spark a frenzy among a wealthy and powerful family, who see it not as a creature of wonder but as an opportunity to exploit. As the situation escalates, Elliot and Ridley find themselves hunted by two vengeful parent unicorns while trapped in a house f...

  Black Mandala and Del Toro Films have unveiled the first trailer for Eyes of the Abyss, a tense and visually striking thriller from Argentine director Daniel de la Vega (On The 3rd Day, White Coffin, Jennifer's Shadow). Set aboard a warship drifting in the South Atlantic, the film weaves supernatural elements into a harrowing tale of survival. The story follows a soldier who awakens alone among the dead, her memory fractured and her surroundings steeped in mystery. As she fends off an approaching enemy force, the boundaries between the real and the unreal begin to dissolve. The ship transforms into a haunted battleground, echoing with unresolved horrors of war.
