This "Children of the Cornetto" riff runs out of shock value almost immediately — and it has nothing else to sell The post ‘Ice Cream Man’ Review: Kids Slay the Darndest Things in Eli Roth’s Gory Horror Comedy appeared first on TheWrap .
Eli Roth's latest horror comedy, "Ice Cream Man," features a supernatural killer who distributes ice cream that turns children into homicidal maniacs. While the film features shocking scenes of children killing their parents, the repetitive nature of the gags and lack of a compelling story leave much to be desired. The movie's motivation for the Ice Cream Man's actions is never explored, making it shallow and unconvincing.
In comparison to other killer children movies, "Ice Cream Man" falls short in both originality and impact.
