Moviegoers are saying
Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man' has left audiences deeply divided, with most viewers describing it as his most embarrassing effort yet - a gore-fest that prioritizes shock value over storytelling. While hardcore horror fans appreciate the extreme violence and throwback 80s horror vibes, the overwhelming consensus is that cheap CGI effects, terrible dialogue, and inappropriate use of child actors make this theatrical release feel more like a straight-to-streaming disaster.

the commentary from the man sitting next to us was better than the entire movie. i usually hate when people talk in the theater, but he made it more enjoyable.

LennyAug 5, 2026It’s always interesting when a film so closely resembles the person who made it and, wow, this film is just like its director.

Ich würde ja behaupten, dass Eli Roth noch nicht einen Film zu Stande gebracht hat, der irgendwie erträglich gewesen wäre und doch ist Eli wieder für eine Überraschung gut. „Ice Cream Man“ ist nicht einfach nur schlecht, es ist vielleicht sein bisher peinlichster Beitrag -…

so bad wow
JWolf dislikedIce Cream Man1.9/10 Had very little redeemable qualities. I guess some of the shock value. Straight 84 minutes of gore. What’s worse: Using A.I in the movie or A.I writing the script. Probably the worst movie of the year for me so far. I may have been able to rate this higher if the ending wasn’t just the…
Taylor Winters likedIce Cream ManThis is one of those dumb horror movies. If you go in with the same expectations as something campy (like Eli Roth’s other films or the 80’s version of Ice Cream man with Clint Howard) you’ll love this. If you expect something actually scary you will not enjoy it. It’s ridiculous kills, gory…
- Tyne is "meh" onIce Cream Man
This was not good like the acting was bad the plot was alright but really like explained in your face and idek how to comment on the gore bc I don’t even watch gore movies like that but like dialogue wise it was kind of all over the place with dated/offensive joking: “Im a 12 year old girl, ofc I…
Maxime Brusselle dislikedIce Cream Mani saw the ratings and i was like, how bad can it actually be? and it was even worse than that. Story was awful and overexplained, acting and writing was terrible beyond belief and the vfx fire is the worst ive ever seen. And they even just blatantly used AI. 0/10 dont recommend
Aaron George dislikedIce Cream Man0/10 - Go buy an actual ice cream, you’ll get far more enjoyment. This film is god awful, the kids are irritating, the acting is terrible and the effects are worse. I’ve never seen as many people walk out of a cinema and I don’t blame them. Adults are awful, kids are worse.

I feel like anything positive I could say about this film is MAJORLY overridden by its egregious use of generative AI. Was it a fun watch? Sorta. Did I see the ending coming? Not really, no. But the use of AI (and such young child actors!) made it an unpleasant watch.
Justin DaSilva likedIce Cream ManThis was nuts in the best way possible 😅 The script is basic, predictable & formulaic BUT the practical effects and shock value make you forget about that. If you love crazy kills, lots of blood and super duper dark humor, this film’s for you 👏🏻
Hal Jester watched_neutraldIce Cream ManA stupid predictable AI written plot made just to show gore, no redeeming or entertaining substance. Uses generative AI in many scenes! Watching paint dry while getting dental work done would be more satisfying!
