10 Upcoming Horror Movies With INCREDIBLE Plots

10. Death of a Unicorn

Anyone complaining that originality in Hollywood is dead need look no further than A24's new comedy-horror Death of a Unicorn, which revolves around a father, Elliot (Paul Rudd), and his daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega), who accidentally hit a unicorn with their car.

Elliot's scheming pharma CEO boss, the ludicrously monikered Dell Leopold (Richard E. Grant), then takes the unicorn for himself, as his team of scientists discover that its remains have the potential to cure cancer.

Leopold of course plots to exploit this for massive financial gain, yet before long the unicorn's very, very pissed off mate arrives, seeking revenge on those who have killed and desecrated its partner.

This is nothing if not a huge, wild, enthusiastic swing of a movie, and though Death of a Unicorn marks the debut of writer-director Alex Scharfman - which is always a coin flip for audiences - the marketing certainly suggests that he's coming out of the gate with a darkly hilarious banger.
