Opusboasts a unique premise and a star-studded cast, yet the movie ultimately failed.
Though strange and visually appealing,Opusdid not stick its thematic landing.
In some respects,OpusandDeath of a Unicornappear to be quite similar.
Both are horror movies with somewhat unusual premises; a musician-turned-cult-leader and the accidental death of a unicorn.
Plus, the two films have notable casts that include both rising talents and established stars.
In this way,Death of a Unicornlooks like an opportunity for A24 to redeem itself afterOpus.
Thus, more theaters are likely to show the movie and more audiences may be persuaded to see it.
It also helps thatDeath of a Unicornis already raking in semi-positive reviews.
On Rotten Tomatoes,Death of a Unicornhas a 64% critics score, which is nearly double whatOpushas.
So far,early reviews have notedDeath of a Unicorn’shigh entertainment value and the fantastic performancesof its cast.
Even a small success will be better thanOpus’sshocking failure.
More incredible actors and more strange premises will make it so thatOpusnever really happened.
Also, it is important to note thatOpuswasn’t a complete failure.
Regardless of its finances and its bad reviews, the movie isn’t awful.
