Ice Cream Man

It is a sweltering summer in the small town of Bayleen Bay. Children are enjoying their holidays, adults are caught up in their everyday routines, and nothing seems capable of disturbing the sleepy rhythm of the town. Then the ice cream man arrives.

He brings smiles wherever he goes. His truck plays a cheerful, familiar tune, and he serves irresistible ice cream that no child can refuse. But after the very first bite, something terrifying begins to happen. The children start to change. They become aggressive, unpredictable, and increasingly dangerous. As the town descends into chaos, a small group of those who remain untouched must uncover the truth about the mysterious ice cream man—and why he chose them.

THE ICE CREAM MAN is an original horror thrill ride that transforms one of childhood’s sweetest symbols into a waking nightmare. Blending pitch-black humour, shocking set pieces, and ever-escalating suspense, the film poses a chilling question: What if the greatest monsters weren’t hiding under the bed—but were your own children?

The film is the latest project from Eli Roth, the acclaimed director of Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving. A concept he carried with him for more than twenty years, Roth describes it as his boldest and most outrageous film to date.

THE ICE CREAM MAN is a twisted horror reimagining of the Pied Piper legend, replacing the enchanted flute with irresistibly delicious ice cream. The result is a gleefully deranged horror film that marks a return to Roth’s signature uncompromising style.
