Death of a Unicorn (2025)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Death of a Unicorn (2025)

Post by Leisher »

Antman and Wednesday are on their way to one of Antman's uber rich clients who is about to die. Antman is his lawyer and he's doing the end of life shit. On the way, they kill a unicorn as they happen to be real.

At the client's everyone gets involved as they realize they have more than just a dead unicorn on their hands. They can change the world, and more importantly, their bank accounts.

That's when hilarity ensues.

Overall, this movie is fine. There's nothing blatantly wrong with it, but it's missing something. I can't place my finger on it. It's billed as a comedy horror, but it's really neither. Nothing scary ever happens, and there's not really any laugh out loud humor.

Will Poulter gets a special mention here for getting all the best lines and doing what he could with them. I would say he is the most memorable thing about the movie.

It's fine and I'm happy I saw it, but I'd never watch it again. If you never saw it, you wouldn't be missing out.
