My favorite piece of Ice Cream Man trivia is that they recently tried to do a Kickstarter for part 2 but only managed to get 4 out of their 300k goal and half of that came from one backer who pledged 2k to pick an ice cream flavor in the movie.

"That's what I call a brain freeze!" With this week's impending release of Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man remake on the horizon, and also after a national Monday night "Scream Unseen" showing at AMC that saw my TikTok algorithm become full of angry Movie-Tok types after the…

No need to use generative AI when you have a creepy Clint Howard occupying the screen. I remember seeing this on the sci-fi channel when I was a kid and getting absolutely scarred by the above image. It wasn’t until years later when I realized how schlocky this movie…

About as well-made and tonally controlled as you'd expect of a porno director trying to make his direct-to-video version of Silent Night, Deadly Night + It, but instead of an evil clown or a Santa-attired murderer it's a mentally ill ice cream man. Ultimately more of a…

you can tell he’s insane by the way he grips that butter brickle ice-cream. firmly grasping it with his meaty claws. just sugary liquid melting down his arm and he had not one care in the world. imagine how sticky that would be. horrifying

Just a ton of fun. It isn’t a good movie. It’s a great movie. Also, “You little turds are gonna have to learn that you can’t run from the Ice Cream Man!”

Bonkers. Just bonkers. I love that Clint Howard got a starring role to be as crazy as he wanted. This is schlocky horror at a fun level.

Ice Cream Man

good pace, pretty solid acting from the kids, plot was alright with a few holes. still a fun movie, was worth the watch and will probably revisit. 7/10

Ice Cream Man

A nutty Horror Comedy that overindulges in the ingredients of a grating score, stiff acting, and a lazy script to fail at the awesomely bad recipe.

Clint Howard can me my Ice Cream Man anytime (If he keeps it 110% clean lol). An interesting concept that surprised me.

Ice Cream Man was great, if it’s your bag. So silly, actually a bit unnerving at times. Perfectly executed tone. 84%
