Our take
An MA 15+ A24 horror comedy rated for violent content, gore, language and drug use. A roadkill unicorn turns vicious, with impalements, disemboweling and bloody kills played for dark laughs. Many f-words land alongside vaping, drinking and snorted unicorn powder. Best for 16+.
Uplifting themes
A teen pushes back against exploiting a living creature for medicine Among greedy adults, the daughter keeps a moral backbone
Story (may spoil tone)
A father and daughter accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to a weekend retreat, where his billionaire boss seeks to exploit the creature’s miraculous curative properties.
