Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- [New] | Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: The satire in the Grand-Guignol fantasy Death of a Unicorn is not barbed enough to really skewer viewers with its point about greed.
- Alex Bentley @
- Excerpt: There is lots of mayhem in Death of a Unicorn, but Scharfman seems content to let the violence be for violence’s sake instead of making us care about those being killed or the creatures doing the killing.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: There is nothing subtle here, as is only right when taking a mythical creature as the catalyst, but the satire is so finely wrought that subtlety would be an insult to all concerned, including the audience.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: the umpteenth twist on “E.T.,” a film with a game cast that nevertheless bores with its utter predictability. Scharfman’s imagining of the film as a horror comedy provides little in the way of either horror or comedy.
- Kat Hughes @ THN
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: The extended bloodbath at the end and the slight nod at one character’s redemption are not as well-executed as the satiric first half. But its audacity and imagination are impressive and the skill and commitment of the cast makes it very watchable.
- Derrick Murray @ Nerdbot
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: Impaling obnoxious rich people is most of the thin midnight movie’s fun, but it doesn’t have much else on its mind.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Death of a Unicorn is a modern fairytale, replete with arch characterizations and storylines straight out of a Brothers Grimm collection.
- Dennis Schwartz @ dennisschwartzreviews.
- Excerpt: The blend of comedy and gore never quite meshes.
