Ice Cream Man
2026 · 86 min · Comedy / Horror / Thriller · TMDB 4.8
The short version:A dark-comedy slasher in which an ice cream man serves treats that possess children to murder adults in their town. The film relies on graphic gore and shock value rather than building dread, with a deeply bleak ending that leaves its protagonists defeated; the premise of young killers and mean-spirited tone make it more disturbing than scary.
