I’ve spent worse times in theaters than rooting for a family of yuppie scumbags to be killed by unicorns. A borderline guilty pleasure, Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega star as Elliot Kintner and his daughter Ridley. Elliot has just gotten his big break working for the uber-wealthy Leopold family (Richard E.

Killing victims and using their blood in the murals that have popped up around New York City, the threat is very real and has gone unnoticed for weeks, and becomes even more personal when he takes Angela (Camila Rodriguez) as his latest inspiration.
