Plot
Elliot Kintner and his teenage daughter, Ridley, are spending a weekend at the estate of Elliot's boss, Odell Leopold, and his family—his wife, Belinda, and their son, Shepard. While driving to their destination, Elliot accidentally runs over a unicorn foal with his car. When Ridley touches its horn, she experiences strange cosmic visions, which Elliot abruptly stops after he bludgeons the creature with a tire iron.
The Kintners arrive at the Leopolds' estate with the unicorn hidden in their car. Shortly after their arrival, Ridley discovers that the unicorn's blood has cleaned away the acne on her face; Elliot's vision has improved, and his allergies are gone. The Leopolds eventually discover the unicorn still alive in the car, which is promptly shot by the Leopolds' assistant, Shaw. Upon learning that the unicorn has magical healing properties, Odell suggests they experiment with it.
A group of scientists working for the Leopolds, led by Dr. Song, successfully create a concoction by grating off some of the unicorn's horn, which cures Odell of his cancer. As a result, Odell orders the unicorn to be taken to their laboratory for further testing, wanting to capitalize on its capabilities. Having read the story behind The Unicorn Tapestries, Ridley argues that the Leopolds should not be messing with the unicorn, but they do not listen to her. As they take the unicorn away, the group is ambushed by a much larger, aggressive unicorn, who kills Dr. Song. After it escapes into the woods, Odell organizes a hunting party to kill it, insisting that Elliot join them.
Shepard steals a vial of the unicorn's grated horn and orders another scientist, Dr. Bhatia, to saw off the unicorn's entire horn. Ridley realizes the foal is still alive and attempts to text Elliot to head back. Meanwhile, Elliot and the hunting party find the older unicorn, only to be attacked by a second unicorn, where they slaughter several people, including Odell and Shaw. The survivors learn that the unicorns are the foal's parents, and they decide to offer their child back to them, hoping they will leave them alone. However, the plan backfires, as the unicorns discover the foal's horn missing and kill Dr. Bhatia.
The unicorns follow the remaining survivors into the estate, where Belinda is disemboweled by one of them. Elliot, having stolen the horn, offers to distract the other unicorn by luring it outside so Ridley can escape. Ridley is held at arrow-point by Shepard, having learned that unicorns are docile towards pure-hearted maidens after experiencing visions from snorting the grated horn he stole. The parent unicorns arrive and immediately become docile to Ridley. As Shepard ties up the unicorns' legs, Elliot stabs Shepard with the horn, only to get stabbed back with his arrow.
Shepard then attempts to kill Ridley, but he is fatally bucked by one of the unicorns. Near death, Elliot reconciles with Ridley before dying from his injuries. Seeing Ridley weeping over her father’s body, the unicorns take pity on them, bring Elliot and their foal back to life with their magic and leave peacefully. However, the Kintners are promptly arrested when the Leopolds' butler Griff—having escaped to get help—arrives with the police who, upon seeing the many corpses around the estate and the Kintners' bloody clothes, assume they have committed a mass murder. As the Kintners are being driven away, the unicorns, seeing the Kintners' predicament, help them by ramming the police car, causing it to swerve off the road as the Kintners brace for impact.
