That sets <em>Unicorn<\/em> apart from many of its contemporaries in the realm of genre subversions \u2014 films that slap, say, Regency romance and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pride_and_Prejudice_and_Zombies_(film)\">zombies<\/a> together, or slasher films and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23602955\/winnie-the-pooh-blood-and-honey-review-horror\">public domain children\u2019s media<\/a>. When Polygon spoke to Scharfman, he made it clear that his goal went beyond just making a strange juxtaposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cIt was really important to me that we didn&#8217;t do a cynical movie. That is, a monster movie where the monster <em>happens<\/em> to be a unicorn,\u201d Scharfman told Polygon over video chat. \u201cIt was really important to me that the movie felt true to unicorns, both in terms of their lore, but also in terms of the emotional valence that they carry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/death-of-a-unicorns-director-went-all-in-on-unicorn-lore-theyre-symbolic-of-our-own-corruption-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In <em>Death of a Unicorn<\/em>, two unicorn parents rampage through a remote mansion, seeking to rescue and avenge their foal after father\/daughter duo Elliot and Ridley (Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega) accidentally hit it with their car. The emotional throughline comes from Elliot and Ridley\u2019s relationship and the connection Ridley forms with the monstrous equines, in the same way that unicorn mythology describes the connection between a unicorn and a pure-hearted (or virginal) maiden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Scharfman\u2019s dedication to that setup \u2014 Elliot and Ridley as the heroes, and the ruthlessly capitalistic Leopolds as villains \u2014 was mystifying to some producers when he was pitching the movie. \u201cThere were definitely people who at some points were like, \u2018Oh, why are you dealing with any of this emotional stuff, or any of this satire stuff? What if it&#8217;s just four buddies on a hunting trip, and they kill a unicorn?\u2019 And I was always like, \u2018That&#8217;s not a unicorn movie, then. That&#8217;s a movie with a unicorn in it, but it&#8217;s not <em>about<\/em> a unicorn.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In the chicken and the egg of it all, Scharfman says, the idea of a movie about people who accidentally kill a unicorn came first, and the horror element arrived second.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI didn&#8217;t really know what to do with the story,\u201d Scharfman recalled, \u201cand then somewhere in the middle of telling the story to my friend, I just blurted out <em>And then a bunch more unicorns show up and they kill everybody!<\/em> I&#8217;d never had the thought before, and it was only in the moment of saying it to my friend that I realized, <em>Oh, wow, this is a way in to do a creature feature<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/death-of-a-unicorns-director-went-all-in-on-unicorn-lore-theyre-symbolic-of-our-own-corruption-2.jpg\" alt=\"Alex Scharfman and crew adjust a prop unicorn head on the set of Death of a Unicorn.

And that brought the theme right back around to his original unicorn idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI think to truly [make a unicorn movie], you need to engage with \u2014 sure, the lore \u2014 but the emotional weight that they carry for people, the sense of their symbolism. In a way that speaks to what they are, but also\u2026 I don&#8217;t know why they&#8217;ve resonated with humans over two millennia. If they were just these monsters in the woods, we wouldn&#8217;t have these emotional associations with them, that they&#8217;re symbolic of something that we can&#8217;t attain. They&#8217;re symbolic of our own corruption. They&#8217;re symbolic of the thing that to our great shame we destroy as a society. And I think that speaks to all of us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Respecting the \u201cemotional valence\u201d of an idea that has endured for thousands of years wasn\u2019t just about accuracy to Scharfman, or living up to an audience\u2019s expectations: It was about using existing and powerful symbolism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cIt&#8217;s funny, because in some of these conversations, people are like, \u2018I didn&#8217;t know unicorns had to do with class commentary or socialist commentary,\u2019\u201d Scharfman laughed. \u201cAnd like, well, <em>hell yeah<\/em>, they do.
