“I scream, you scream, we all scream!” The Horror Section has revealed the first look teaser trailer for Eli Roth’s next new horror movie called Ice Cream Man, which is actually a full-on feature and not another fake trailer. This premise sounds like it’s one of his recent fake grindhouse trailers, but like Thanksgiving, Roth has turned this into an actual movie. About kids turning crazy! An idyllic suburban town descends into madness after a mysterious ice cream man serves frozen treats that turn children into homicidal maniacs. Ari Millen stars as the titular “Ice Cream Man” in this story, with Eli Roth, Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer, Charlie Storey, Shiloh O’Reilly. Looks like a riff on Weapons with a creepy weird ice cream guy similar to Art the Clown in the Terrifier series. Hopefully it’ll be bonkers! I’m definitely curious to see more footage. Anyone?
Here’s the first look teaser trailer (+ posters) for Eli Roth’s horror movie Ice Cream Man, from YouTube:
