10 Worst Horror Movies Of 2025 (So Far)
10. Death Of A Unicorn
In Alex Scharfman's directorial debut, a powerful family try to use the magical properties of a dead unicorn for their own gain. On top of the delightfully surreal premise, Death of a Unicorn has an amazing cast, that includes, Jenna Ortega, Will Porter, Anthony Carrigan, Richard E. Grant, and Paul Rudd.
Sadly, the monster comedy never lives up to its potential. Rather than getting a sharp satire or clever "be careful what you wish for" story, Death of a Unicorn fails to tackle any of its fascinating ideas.
Even though the film attempts to commit to the horror elements, every tense moment falls flat. There are some luscious shots to be had but it doesn't make up for the lack of emotional depth. Sure, the acting is solid, but characters are introduced or vanish so sporadically, it adds to the inconsistent tone.
Death of a Unicorn isn't god-awful by any stretch of the imagination, but it reeks of style over substance. By the time the credits roll, some viewers will struggle to remember a thing about it, which is a shame since the muddled mess could've been something special.
