One scoop is all it takes.
Synopsis
Ice Cream Man turns a nostalgic summer treat into pure nightmare fuel, as a quiet town spirals into chaos under the influence of something far more sinister than sugar.
Set in an idyllic small town during the height of summer, children flock to a mysterious ice cream man serving irresistible frozen delights, but beneath the sweetness lies something horrifying.
As kids begin to change - and disturbing consequences emerge - the community slowly realizes that the treats being handed out are anything but innocent, and what begins as subtle unease escalates into full-blown terror, as paranoia spreads and the town descends into madness.

About Ice Cream Man
Ice Cream Man is an original horror film written and directed by Eli Roth, marking his return to independent horror filmmaking.
Known for pushing boundaries with films like Hostel and Thanksgiving, Roth describes this project as his most extreme and terrifying yet - a concept he’s been developing for over two decades, and the film is produced under Roth’s banner The Horror Section, which focuses on delivering bold, unrated theatrical horror experiences.
I’ve had this idea for a long, long time, and studios were too afraid of my early drafts. Now’s the time to push the envelope farther than I ever have with what I think will be my most terrifying and insane film to date. Films like Ice Cream Man are what we created The Horror Section for, to make unrated, boundary-pushing theatrical events the horror fans can all scream about for years. I’m very lucky to have such fantastic partners like MCT and, of course, all the investors in The Horror Section.
Director and Cast
Ice Cream Man is directed by Eli Roth and the cast includes Ari Millen, Karen Cliche, Benjamin Byron Davis and Sarah Abbott.
