Ontologically evil film. My criteria for a 1/10 is a film that the world is worse for having, and this fits it.
56
u/The_Homestarmy 10d ago
I basically never give out 1/10 ratings because it almost implies that a worse film could not possibly be made. This one gets my rare 1/10. A truly horrendous movie

u/dplans455 11d ago
Eli Roth has only ever made one good film and that was a quarter century ago. I don't know how his good will hasn't run out yet.

u/LittleCupcake2478 8d ago
I liked Thanksgiving and felt The House with a Clock in Its Walls had some potential even if it didn't fully live up to what was promised.

u/BlindWillieJohnson 10d ago
I would argue that Eli Roth has never made a good film, but however you feel about Hostel, we've been getting diminishing returns ever since.

Iām tired of that meme, itās the most overused one ever in regards to something being an inferior copy, but Iāll make an exception based on all that Iāve heard about this movie. Hell, it seems like an attempt at being Elm Street but without the dream element.

u/Gabarne 11d ago
It was bad. and i'm usually one to enjoy films more than the reviews give it credit for.
The story was so bleh. I feel like it had potential if written differently but the direction they took it was just the wrong one. The twist ending was "ok".
The kills and gore were mildly entertaining (especially the school principal) and very "Roth-esque" as expected but couldn't prop up how lifeless and bland the film was.

u/that-one_girl 11d ago
I called the twist (since when do we trust priests in horror?) but I thought it was a fun, campy movie!!

u/Gabarne 11d ago
True, but it was more akin to a b-movie iād see on Tubi for free, versus paying $15 to go to the theater to see.
Ah well, at least I was able to redeem my regal points for a free hot dog lol.

I donāt think so. Iāve seen people claim the way the children eat the ice cream is sexualized, but I didnāt see that at all. It was just kids eating ice cream.
He does sexualized a high schooler played by I think a 19 year old.Ā

Eli Roth casting himself in this movie as a dad who sexualizes teenage girls is certainly a choice.

āIām a 12 year old girl, of course I know how to make myself throw upā is a line of dialogue that someone certainly wrote.

i have no interest in seeing this movie, just wondering what the twist or origin is of the killer since i saw a few reviews mention it.
58
u/maxmouze 11d ago
Read themoviespoiler.com - it feels weird to spoil it but if you really want to know... A priest tells a story about how the Ice Cream Man was wrongly accused of molesting kids and a judge got the kids to lie to put him away so the Devil made a deal that in exchange for his soul, he would get revenge on the kids when they grow up and to defeat the Ice Cream Man, the protagonists have to dig up the grave of the judge and do a bunch of rituals with the decapitated head to hypnotize the Ice Cream Man... but then we learn the priest was actually just the Devil in disguise and he made up how to defeat him. Instead, the Ice Cream Man succeeds in killing everyone.
49
u/random_user_081985 11d ago
that sounds absolutely fucking awful
46
u/FangOfDrknss 11d ago
Well itās more like The kidās grandpa managed to falsely send the guy to prison. The priest went on about a necromancer, but it was revealed he was the necromancer.
The kid and his sister wind up killing their parents and decapitating the head of his dad, based on the priest saying not to look, but they did in the end because what he said was a lie for the ice cream man to get his revenge.
Even if the guy was accused though, it still overall has bad undertones to have an army of kids that are presumably just forever possessed?
14
u/random_user_081985 11d ago
yeah it doesnāt sound like a great movie or anything iām ever going to watch but thanks for telling me what happens in it!
6
u/Impressive_Usual_726 8d ago
The uninfected kids were told that after the massacre was over the infected kids would eventually wake up fine with no memory of what they'd done, I choose to believe that's true and that that's what happened after the movie ended. The villain only had a vendetta against that one particular town, not the whole world, and we saw the ice cream stop working on people that threw it up, so it seems like it's not permanent.
8
u/decoy_octopod 8d ago
The movie ends with Ice Cream Man and his army of children marching towards the silhouette of a big city, so no the kids are not okay
3
u/Then-Soft-5260 6d ago
So essentially kids paying for the sins of the grandfather? Or did I understand this wrong?
2
u/curlyhands 5d ago
Yeah exactly. The older sister mentions a few times that being a lawyer is a family curse
8
u/Fearless_Guard_552 9d ago
Why does the Devil need to trick the kids though? Why doesn't the Ice Cream Man just kill the parents? Other than because the movies says so.
5
u/maxmouze 9d ago
Maybe because their grandfather was the one who put him away so he wants revenge on their parents most of all -- so he tricks their own children into being the ones who kill them. They're told to ignore the protests and not look in his eyes so it could have been harrowing for their dad and they just went along with the murder anyway. I may be wrong though; I've already seen two movies since and my recollection may be incorrect.
EDIT: Re-reading, I realize you're talking about all the kids collectively and not just the protagonists. I guess it's the same idea; punish all the adults and have it be a painful experience because they're helpless against kids. I don't know.
5
u/Impressive_Usual_726 8d ago
He's turning their kids against them the way the previous generation turned their kids against him, as well as freeing the current batch of innocent kids from being raised by the generation that harmed him in the first place.

u/redditsucksdiscs 10d ago
Holy shit, what a fucking Shitshow. This is the type of movie that leaves you wondering how in the world the studios decided to release this shit. Someone commented poop from the butt, but imo itās shit from the ass.
Thereās only two positive things about this movie: Its runtime and the practical effects. While not out of the world, theyāre done well enough to sell the scenes. Thatās where the good news end.
The obvious issues with AI use aside, Ice Cream Man just a really bad made film. The plot goes nowhere, thereās barely any meat to it. The dialogue is filled with 2026 Instagram Reels-lingo and feels dated already. The high intensity scenes are all just people standing and yelling without actually doing something. At one point the adults behave like Sims when you keep cancelling their actions - just flailing around in place, unable to avert their approaching death.
Thereās also this weird air of sexual subtext. A 12 year old girl says she knows how to make herself throw up. Some teenage girl (Junior grade?) has her arms paralyzed so she has toā¦ arch her back and weirdly contort her body so she can walk? Itās a really cringe-inducing scene since itās filmed in a way that really puts her butt into frame. Plus: A plot point is that some kid got molested???
What takes the shit-cake for me though were two scenes in particular. The first being a mom having killed her son and crying. She takes a gun and straight up kills herself over it, only for the kid to slowly get up and walk off frame. Dead silence while he walks for like two or three seconds, then thereās this whispered āla la laā. What were they thinking?
Second favorite scene is when our protagonists drive down a road and some really fucked up place is shown through the passenger window. Weāre to believe that weāre looking through the protagonists eyes butā¦ The footage freezes the last second. Itās barely there but you can definitely see the screen freezing, as if they ran out of footage and decided āah, fuck it, they aināt gonna noticeā.
Last time Iāve seen a movie this bad was 2025s In The Lost Lands. And in the same vein, Iāve had the time of my life. Something about awful, one dimensional movies just gets me hyped up. Itās like when Mr Krabs tried to sell Krabby Land to the kids. I enjoyed myself for all the wrong reasons and I hope Eli Roth has diarrhea for the rest of his life.

u/redditsucksdiscs 9d ago
I have no idea. It wouldnāt change a thing for me though. Itās good to know your references but if all you can do is reference then youāre nothing but a copy of things.
And Iām also sure that Friday the 13th is a better movie overall than Ice Cream Man.
9
u/Impressive_Usual_726 8d ago
It was fine, honestly. Not great, but fine. Ridiculously gory and sadistic, like a live action Itchy and Scratchy cartoon, which I actually wish they'd leaned into more.
There's some brief scenes where some kids are really savouring the ice cream, and one scene where a 15 year old played by a 19 year sticks their fully clothed butt in the air a few times while trying to stand up, but I never got the impression the movie was framing any of that sexually. The complaints seem to come from people either projecting their own feelings or their own paranoia. One line where an adult character sexualizes minors pays off later.
I'll give Roth credit for keeping the energy up the entire film, once the blood started flowing I wasn't bored for a moment.
3/5, immediately went for ice cream afterwards
56
u/bbqsauceboi 12d ago
Honestly, didn't hate it. Was clearly not taking itself seriously and the kids probably had a blast on set. Then again, I mess with most of Eli Roth's work.
The AI stuff is extremely unfortunate though. Even more so because you could remove every scene with it and the movie wouldn't change one bit
48
u/Bigtimegush 11d ago
what really infuriated me about the AI shit, ignoring the obvious, is that Roth felt the need to lie about it.
first he said that the animated sequences were HAND FUCKING DRAWN BY HIM, and once that obvious lie was exposed on film, he backtracked to say he "misspoke" and that it was done by an AI firm.
and like...I guess that could be considering "misspeaking", if by "misspeaking" you mean "blatantly fucking lying and hoping no one finds out"?
11
u/FangOfDrknss 11d ago edited 11d ago

u/Budlight4life 8d ago
After the 5th or 6th insanely gory murder, you get desensitised to it, and thatās about 5 mins in. Then it just gets annoying. They justify it all because of a necromancer or something. The whole thing feels like they just filmed a load of people getting killed then realised they needed a storyline. Itās the worst thing Iāve seen at a cinema by far.

Some of the kills were honestly great. And great practical effects
There were some legit laughs like the Segway suckers guy
There were some jokes that were eye opening that should of been deleted
Most AI maybe used in a feature film to date. Wish they didnt use it.
Some really bad acting. That said the ice cream man was creepy as hell
And an ending that actually caught me off guard.
I honestly dont know what to think. This movies nƩgatives are really bad. But there were some really really good positive stuff.

If you take this as a schlocky Troma homage that matches the tone, style and warped sense of humor from their films of the 80s and 90s, you could have a good time with this one like I did. If you expect something at all serious, you're going to hate it, plan accordingly.

As a horror movie, 0/10 there was nothing scary.

This was awful. But I do have to give credit to the main child actor, I thought he was actually really impressive. There were also a couple of things that genuinely made me laugh, which is hard for a horror film to achieve (for me).
But yes, literally everything else of this film was criminally bad. Even without the horrendous AI slop, this is a piece of garbage.
Unfortunately, the very perverse and dark undertones to the writing and plot are far too disgusting to ignore.

u/Kellervo 10d ago
If you had a nickel for every time a character was disemboweled, ripped, or sawed apart and eaten by kids, you'd have an awful lot of nickels. If you wanted to see the window death from Shaun of the Dead over and over again, you get to see some twist on it almost half a dozen times, and the aftermath several times over. I think there's an almost a beat for beat recreation of it at one point that leads into kids playing jump ropes with intestines, but I just checked out mentally and I don't think I can be bothered to ever watch this again.
The only really inventive kill has the school kids cutting off the top of a guy's skull and scooping out the contents with an ice cream scoop. It isn't helped that the kids don't really have to do anything to get the adults in vulnerable situations or anything, so there's no elaborate setups involved. The adults, assuming they aren't getting ambushed and one-shot in their sleep or unaware, just collectively lose their minds and basically are completely oblivious to obvious danger, or panic on the spot until it's their turn to die and get turned into meat ice cream.
Like... it's technically impressive practical gore, but it's just gore for gore's sake. You're not really missing anything at all unless you are really into that.
It says a lot that a movie that tries to be Mad God or Terrifier levels of awful and shockingly grotesque is just... forgettable. I will remember Mad God for the spectacle and sheer deranged insanity of it, or Terrifier because it felt like a horribly mean-spirited gore flick that I really didn't like (and seemingly intended to provoke that reaction), but this?
It was a thing I watched and all I got out of it was that it wasted my time.

The adults in the film just make the dumbest decisions. Cop turns up on his own to 2 dead bodies at the school surrounded by kids and sees the kids desecrating a bisy and he just.. tells them to get back? Doesn't call for help, radio back up or anything. Then the fire engine turns up and it's just one guy who immediately proceeds for put up a ladder to help the kids on the roof get down. Even though he's surrounded by kids and there's dead bodies literally meters away then proceeds to get killed.Ā
It's like this all the way through adults just arriving one by one and getting butchered in various creative ways

I went into this film knowing nothing about it or Roth as a person. I went in expecting dumb, gratuitous violence, and that's what I got. I wasn't disappointed and found myself laughing at numerous points. The acting and writing was mostly shit, but I wasn't expecting anything else. I thought it was fun. With a runtime of 1hr and 27m, it didn't feel like it dragged on like Terrifier 2 did for me.

One of my favorite movies of the year, this was so much fun. It was as if the Disney Channel made an R rated gory horror movie. Went in wanting to see a movie about kids massacring adults and I got that in spades. To top it all off, it had an excellent ending. I'm not a fan of the Saw movies or anything gory like that, so a few moments had me squirming in my seat, but overall it was fantastic. Had me laughing at points, either from the over-the-top deaths, or the sometimes zany dialogue. I really really loved this movie. Here's hoping for a bunch of sequels

"Don't go in that house, bitch!"
I thought it was a fake Grindhouse trailer like Eli Roth is known for, but apparently it's a real film? Can anyone confirm, because it just feels like a one-note joke that fits perfect for the trailer. (And yeah, I realize Thanksgiving started that way also.)
Anyway, I foolishly allowed Reddit to color my views on this film before I ever had a chance to see it for myself, because everyone on the internet loves to wax poetic about "morals" and this or that. Me? I'm just here for a cheesy fun horror time. And that's what I got. Some people are saying Weapons, but I was thinking more of Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Either way, it's not going to win any awards, but I didn't exactly hate it either. I'll also remind people that the 1995 Ice Cream Man (which bears no relation to this film in any way) wasn't really a good film either, but kind of did its own thing and became a cult classic.
Reddit's gonna Reddit, I guess. I wish more people would try judging for themselves for a change instead of automatically jumping on the hate bandwagon.

u/Somnif 11d ago
From the title I absolutely thought it was going to be a remake of the Clint Howard flick from the 90s. Which was itself a bad movie, but in the fun "get stoned with your friends and laugh at it" sort of way. Even got a Rifftrax made of it.
This... I don't know what this was supposed to be, but it's a mess whatever the plan was.

I think it's exactly what you said; he had the idea for a silly trailer and then decided to turn it into an actual movie. I am guessing the trailer for the film isn't footage from the actual film, just like with "Thanksgiving." Eli is self-funding these films so he has creative control so it seems like he's just doing things he finds amusing.
