The Real Review

People are trashing this Eli Roth flick about an ice cream man terrorizing a town, with most calling it a total mess. The story is slammed as predictable and dull, and the acting from the young cast, like Kiori Mirza Waldman and Shiloh O’Reilly, gets ripped on hard. The only thing that lands for anyone is the dark humor, which gets some chuckles. Even the lead, Ari Millen as the villainous Ice Cream Man, can't save this one from being a bitter disappointment.
