Netizens welcomed it with mixed reactions:
“In Medieval Ages, unicorns were a symbol of ferocity. Their artwork depicted it taking one knight, maybe mounted on a horse to slay a dragon. It took half a dozen hunters, mounted, with as many dogs, to take down one unicorn, and the beast might resurrect,” said @MegaKnight2012
“If this is going to be a unicorn-related horror film, then it should be interesting and a nice return to their roots. Only criticism with the trailer is the last line, “Here’s hoping we kill Bigfoot on the way home.” Really, that’s the line you want to end on,” queries @andrewmalinowski6673
“I wish A24 were as good at cutting trailers as they are making films
“This movie looks crazy good,” @anthonynorthover2693
