10 Upcoming Movies With INSANE Premises
10. Death of a Unicorn
A24's new horror-comedy Death of a Unicorn looks absolutely wild, revolving around a man, Elliot (Paul Rudd), and his teenage daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega), who accidentally crash their car into a unicorn, seemingly killing it.
Before long, Elliot's bosses seize the unicorn's body and attempt to exploit its magical, apparently cancer-curing properties for their own material gain, only for another, vengeful unicorn to show up and start wreaking murderous havoc on them.
The first trailer sells this movie as an absolute riot, and probably the strangest project that either Rudd or Ortega has ever been involved with. However, this isn't to ignore the film's crackerjack supporting cast, which includes Richard E. Grant, Will Poulter, Anthony Carrigan, and Tea Leoni - the latter of whom spouts the instantly meme-worthy one-liner, "That horn was rather girthsome." Quite.
Even though A24 is currently attempting to break into more mainstream, commercial fare, it's a relief to see that they're still helping unhinged, original ideas like this get made.
