A24’s latest film isDeath of a Unicorn, and the movie will be hitting theaters before it becomes available on streaming and digital. The 2025 film is the most recent in a long line ofA24 horror moviesto assemblea star-studded cast with a fascinating premise, genre-blending its fantastical premise with comedy. Representing the horror genre is one of Hollywood’s most exciting scream queens: Jenna Ortega, with beloved comedic actor Paul Rudd as her co-star.Midsommar’sWill Poulter is also on the roster, with Ari Aster as a producer and Alex Scharfman directing.
Death of a Unicorn’sreception has been primarily positive so far, withScreen Rant’sreviewciting its performances and humor as the primary highlight. Thefilm follows a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn with their car, leading to the unicorn’s parents seeking vengeancein return. Tonally, it seems a bit like this year’s version ofCocaine Bear, where it might offer some absurd humor, famous actors having fun in their roles, and the usual A24 horror elements.
A24 has marked Friday, March 28, as the release date forDeath of a Unicorn, though some theaters might offer Thursday night previews. Themovie is R-rated, as is the case with many of A24’s horror releases, and has a relatively short runtime of 104 minutes, including credits. The distribution company has become regarded for its critically acclaimed horror pieces, but it’s been rare for A24 films to be box office juggernauts. That said, it could carve out a place for itself in a month with limited competition, as last week’sSnow WhiteandThe Alto Knightshave been underperforming.
