Sadly Over-hyped

Fantastic!

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Don't let the truck fool you....this was unforgivably awful. First of all, I find it funny that the title of the movie claims to be The Ice Cream Truck, and yet the truck doesn't even show up until a half hour into the movie! It seemed like ten minutes for the opening credits to end, so lets entertain you in the meantime and show you screenshots of beautiful homes that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie! And what do you think of when you hear the words....ice cream truck? Kids? Yeah, well, there are no children chasing after the truck. In fact, they got it half butt backward, and you see an adult chasing down the ice cream truck. Hello? Anyone in there? Did you think it was a little funny, this ice cream truck is driving around at nighttime, when the kids are sleeping, inviting you in his truck....don't you think this is a little odd? Yeah, go on in there, you deserve to die, if you're that stupid. God, what this guy wouldn't do for a Klondike bar. Once again, we got a dork with a knife, and no explanation why he's so upset with his victims, that he wants to off his customers and innocent people off. The story line barely exists, instead, we have long boring sequences of...virtually nothing. Cookie cutter characters just waiting to get cut apart by a cookie cutter. No, just joking, but, uh, be prepared to see the ice cream scooper used as a weapon. I've never seen that before, but you don't get any stars for it. Last half hour pissed me off so much, I was actually rooting for the killer. Can't spoil why, but I was thinking "TAKE NO PRISONERS NOW!" Overall, I think this movie sucked! Even the kills weren't worth the watch, instead of graphic kills, we get many shots of fake blood getting splattered. Acting was horrible, if you want to call that acting. Bottom line...let everything in this ice cream truck melt, along with any feelings you have towards it. 1 out of 10 stars! You don't even deserve 1 star, imdb is making me give it to you.

I totally enjoyed this movie at wasn't only fun and interesting but the characters really make it I could compare it kind it to the Stepford wives however with a really Nice slasher twist to it this all happens in suburbia and it was just a nicely balanced movie to watch also the music and it really coordinated well with the scenes

A nice little old fashioned horror slash thriller movie. It reminded me of the scary movies I grew up with. Unlike the new age of slash and gore horror movies, and happy for that. I watched it after someone posted a mixed review, went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the whole thing from the acting to the story, Full of suspense.

"Welcome to the neighborhood" What's more applicable with this sultry weather than a horror about a murderous ice cream man? Let me assure you though. Next time you see an ice cream truck, you won't be running away in full panic and loudly screaming. Not after watching this movie at least, because this low-budget movie isn't really scary or frightening. To be honest, I found the ice cream man (Emil Johnsen) a kind of a dork. Even during his killings, he looked rather like a sissy. I'm sure that one well-aimed smack with a scoop, would be enough to hit him unconsciously. And for the most sensitive viewers: don't expect a bloody slaughtering as you could see in "Friday the 13th".There's one thing I was enthusiastic about. And that's the ice cream truck itself. A beautifully maintained pastel tinted old-timer. Even the noise of the engine was a pleasure to hear. So this item also isn't something to be afraid of. Only Mary (Deanna Russo) had her doubts about it, the very first moment the ice cream truck drove by. The only peculiar thing to me was the ridiculous times this truck drove through the neighborhood while playing his childish tune.The whole story focuses on Mary, a so-called freelance writer who apparently has problems with writing some new stuff. So she moved back to a suburb where she once grew up. However, she has to wait a few days before her husband and two children arrive. And during that time she gets to know some of the local people. Like a couple of curious neighbor women and Max (John Redlinger), the son of one of them who just graduated. And also someone from the moving company. A scary, rough looking guy with a huge walrus mustache who acted quite intimidating. They had better promoted him to be the Ice Cream man because he looked like a real terrifying psychopath.You can hardly call this a horror. It's more a story about Mary in her midlife crisis who starts realizing that she isn't a young teen-girl anymore. What you get is a trivial story about a woman whose hormones go berserk again after seeing a young muscular guy whose six-pack reminds her of her student time. To be honest, I didn't think Mary was so bad looking. And in my opinion she's is in real life much younger than the age she has in the movie. Max, on the other hand, looks older. Let's say that Max's acting like a stud and Mary's behavior as a teenybopper take most of the time of this somewhat faint horror. Oh yes, it's a horror. Thus, in addition, some innocent adolescents are being killed as well in between. Almost forgot about that."The ice cream truck" isn't really a very good movie. It's not terribly bad either. It's a dull would-be slasher. Actually, the film left me cold (how applicable). Fortunately, the acting of the main characters was adequate. The denouement was quite abrupt (and the place Mary decided to hide herself, was absolutely laughable). The makers tried to give it a bit of a horror feeling by thinking of a surprising end. But to be honest there was only one thing the film did to me. I felt like having a huge ice cream with a lot of whipped cream and red fruit on it. As a reward.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/2qtGQoc
