Much in the vein of Donnie Darko and Let the Right One In, Murderhorn follows Daniel, a young boy from a troubled family who is dealing with his mother's illness, his father’s less-than-legal profession, and bullies, including his own older brother.
After one threat too many, Daniel’s repressed anger seems to manifest as a dark and bloodthirsty unicorn, which he names Stormy. Happy to finally have a friend on his side, Daniel feels a new sense of empowerment. When a teenage bully threatens Daniel again, the unicorn comes to his defense and the bully winds up at the bottom of a cliff. As the bloody cycle continues and the body count rises, the police investigate the mysterious, gruesome deaths around town.
Daniel learns the brutal truth that his mother’s illness is terminal, Stormy turns its furious attention towards his family for lying to him. Now, with time running out, Daniel must overcome his anger and find a way to stop his new best friend.
