Ice Cream Man (1995)

What to Expect

The Ice Cream Man is about a kid who witnesses his own local ice cream man gunned down in an Al Capone style drive by shooting. Traumatized, he sits down next to the stiff and starts eating a sugary treat, worrying about how he'll get ice cream now that his own ice cream man is sleeping with the fishes. Fast-forward about 30 years and that same kid has now taken over the ice cream route, only now that he witnessed the shooting, he's completely bat shit insane and is as has a Jeffrey Dahmer level of comfort with killing. Ice Cream Man is a love it or hate it type of movie, I personally loved it. It has an 80's vibe, similar to Stranger Things, It or Summer of '84 where a group of friends cruise the neighborhood on their bicycles solving mysteries. The movie, overall, is a bloody sloppy mess. There's body parts in the ice cream, blood smeared all over the place, ice cream dripping off hands and severed heads in waffle cones. It's definitely over the top.
