The neighborhood ice cream man is probably one of the least threatening people in existence… at least, on a surface level. He’s the friendly guy with the truck that’s playing a catchy tune. He pulls up and gives kids a sweet and cold treat to enjoy on a hot summer day. The ice cream guy wears a smile and perhaps a nice uniform to make himself seem like a friend. But, when you think about it, the ice cream man could be a total creep or even a deadly killer if he wanted to be. Eli Roth imagines this horrifying scenario in the trailer for Ice Cream Man, which turns an innocent childhood figure into a nightmare.
Roth, who is known for hits like Thanksgiving and Cabin Fever, directs, produces, and stars in Ice Cream Man, which he also co-wrote with Noah Belson. That’s a lot of work, my guy. The film takes place during a seemingly idyllic summer when a town goes into madness when an ice cream man serves up sweets with really bad results. It is the type of horror flick that has my name all over it, to be honest.
Ice Cream Man stars Ari Millen as the titular character, Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer, and Charlie Storey.
