Ice Cream Man (2026)


No relation. Eli Roth takes on the domestic horror of suburbia. After being seduced by the ice cream man's sweet serenade, the neighborhood kids go on a rampage against the adults. It's a little bit Children of the Corn and Beware! Children at Play, yet all I could think about was Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Any which way you slice it, it's pretty cheesy, but strangely irresistible.

Note: The film was accompanied by a fake grindhouse trailer, Don't Go in That House, Bitch!, which may or may not actually be its own upcoming movie.
