1

theonewhoknack Apr 1, 2026 +1

The movie was announced in May 2025 so I don't doubt Eli pulled up the first Weapons trailer to some producers and pointed to himself like "I bet I can make this even crazier!"

Weapons 2: Ice Cream Boogaloo

1

MrMindGame Apr 1, 2026 +1

Was just about to say, this sounds like a Weapons trend-chaser.

1

Shin-Kaiser Apr 1, 2026 +1

As far as I know, the Ice Cream man comic has been out long before Weapons was ever a thing. I had no idea they were making a film based off the comic though (and there are far better comics in the same space worthy of films then this one). Maybe after the success of Weapons, they decided to greenlight this one...?

1

pillowsftw Apr 1, 2026 +1

I dont think this is based off the comic

1

Shin-Kaiser Apr 1, 2026 +1

Well then, that is just....Strange!?

1

Bears_On_Stilts Apr 1, 2026 +1

I don't even know how you'd adapt Ice Cream Man, since the whole thing is just a series of one-shot existential/philosophical horror comedies, with the Ice Cream Man demigod figure lurking vaguely in the background and rarely if ever coming to the surface. He's very much like The King In Yellow that way.

1

vroart Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yeah, I got that impression too. That and there’s a good horror comic of the same name

1

rmn_is_here Apr 1, 2026 +1

one is literally a retelling of old folk tale in modern setting and another (this one) sounds like it was dug out of some King's short story collections

1

Wait, which folk tale is Weapons based on? I never knew that.

1

Conscious_Test_7954 Apr 1, 2026 +1

When I first knew about this I was so excited thinking it was an adaptation of the comic.

1

bindersfull-ofwomen Apr 1, 2026 +1

You don't want Eli Roth adapting anything you are excited about

1

Burgoonius Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yeah not sure whos green lighting his projects - I don’t remember the last good movie he made

1

Flat_Fox_7318 Apr 1, 2026 +1

I liked *Thanksgiving* quite a bit. I can't say it was "good" necessarily, but it was a fun slasher that didn't take itself too seriously, so I kinda dug it

1

EmuMan10 Apr 1, 2026 +1

I had fun with it, but I went in wanting something ridiculous and that’s what I got. It wasn’t trying to be serious

1

SciurusRex Apr 1, 2026 +1

BestShivvyNA Apr 1, 2026 +1

1

OnePride Apr 1, 2026 +1

After watching Hostel, I have no desire to ever watch an Eli Roth movie ever again.

1

Mehdals_ Apr 1, 2026 +1

After watching ~~Hostel~~ ***Borderlands***, I have no desire to ever watch an Eli Roth movie ever again.

1

Cha0tic_Engine Apr 1, 2026 +1

Not that Roth has in general been some gem of a movie maker, but I didn't really see that much of "Roth style" in Borderlands to begin with. Wasn't it reshot with someone else anyway?

1

Mehdals_ Apr 1, 2026 +1

it actually kind of bummed me out that it was more over the top eli style. He goes too far with a lot of stuff but yeah Borderlands was basically a dumbed down jumanji that strayed very far from the franchise. Yeah from what I had read Eli dropped it after initial shoots to go do Thanksgiving and someone else stepped in for a good chunk of reshoots.

1

Large-Wheel-4181 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It’s gone through multiple directors and writers, honestly I’d say it was more of a producer running the show over a director. Much like original Alien 3 cut. Sure a director is attached but producers will take over to make it their way. You definitely see a difference in quality with Rory’s style especially if you watch something like The House With The Clock In The Walls

1

Kpro98 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Ive heard that the movie was originaly R rated with lots of on screen blood and gore but it was reshot and edited to be pg 13

1

Manns15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Tim Miller ("Deadpool") did the reshoots.

1

zalurker Apr 1, 2026 +1

Agreed. Hard pass.

1

AoE2manatarms Apr 1, 2026 +1

1

Early-Eye-691 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Cabin Fever is still his best film. It’s off the rails but it has a certain charm to it.

1

AoE2manatarms Apr 1, 2026 +1

Good? It was fine/eh.

1

riegspsych325 Apr 1, 2026 +1

didn’t that kids movie he made get decent reviews?

1

swolleninthecolon Apr 1, 2026 +1

It’s like he missed the point of why saw was clever and thought ‘good horror filmmaking is torturing people’. No art in it whatsoever, just horrible moments. Awful filmmaker

1

FroggsworthThe2nd Apr 1, 2026 +1

Disagree. The torture scenes make up a very small part if the movie. The best parts are the build up and little hints we get at the larger picture outside of our characters. Its far more restrained that something like Terrifier.

1

FrescoItaliano Apr 1, 2026 +1

More restrained than Terrifier is like saying more prude than a sex worker lol

1

SirGaylordSteambath Apr 1, 2026 +1

To be fair there’s a lot I’m into that a sex worker wouldn’t do or at the very least charge extra

1

AshIsGroovy Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yet it made $82 million on a $5 million budget and was successful enough for a sequel. To me it's weird they chose these two movies as Cabin Fever is a cult classic and Thanksgiving was a successful enough recent movie to get a greenlight for a sequel.

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

The fact you seem to have such a strong opinion about it means it's not artless at all lmao

1

Zomburai Apr 1, 2026 +1

Just because you added "lmao" to the end doesn't make that sentence not nonsense

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

That's my bad. I just don't think anyone has the right to call anything "artless". It's a meaningless critique at best

1

Zomburai Apr 1, 2026 +1

Nobody has the *right*? Buddy...

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Bad way to say that I guess. More like I'm not gonna take anyone who says that seriously

1

IndecisiveTuna Apr 1, 2026 +1

They have the right, but at the end of the day, it’s subjective.

1

swolleninthecolon Apr 1, 2026 +1

If someone sent you a video of a child being tortured, and you had a strong reaction to it, does that make the creator an artist? No

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Did you know that they don't actually kill the actors when they make movies?

1

swolleninthecolon Apr 1, 2026 +1

Ok its a simulation of a child getting tortured. There you go its art because you find it unpleasant to watch. Evoking a base reaction isnt the bar for art

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

I mean yeah I think so. I wouldn't like it very much (I don't personally like Hostel), but whether I like something has no sway over whether it's "art". What do you think the bar is??

1

swolleninthecolon Apr 1, 2026 +1

‘The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.’ - the history boys, alan bennett Anything that aspires to achieving the above sentiment is art. And so i dont agree that a test ‘ did it get a base reaction from you’ makes something art in the same way feeding someone poison doesnt make that person a chef

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

You pulled quote that like it's some universally-agreed-upon fact, and it's not. It's cool, I guess, and that's an interesting way to look at things, but I can't see that as the end-all-be-all of art, yk?

1

Zomburai Apr 1, 2026 +1

Everybody says this about Hostel because of the torture p***. I say it because the characters were all horribly unlikeable and without any kind of redeeming quality and then the movie had the obnoxiousness to ask me to care that they got tortured. Compare and contrast The Loved Ones, which is very much a torture p*** movie but actually has sympathetic characters and themes it wants to discuss and I've seen it like four times.

1

crackrabbit012 Apr 1, 2026 +1

Seriously who considers gore p*** scary?

1

NazzerDawk Apr 1, 2026 +1

It isn't, which is why the Saw sequels started getting worse and worse. Saw 1, scary, not too gory really. Saw 2, scary, quite gory, fun. Saw 3, not bad, but leaned too much into the gore I felt. Saw 4, pretty bland, I stopped seeing the movies in theaters after this. Saw 5, I watched at home instead of theaters, and I thought it was a brutal waste of time. Gory, sure, but not in an intense way, more of a "we don't know what else to do" way. I never watched past 5.

1

crackrabbit012 Apr 1, 2026 +1

I felt the same way about Saw. Personally never watched past 3. The first is genuinely a good movie.

1

SirGaylordSteambath Apr 1, 2026 +1

The first is a masterclass in single setting storytelling , it could be a stage play

1

Tnerd15 Apr 1, 2026 +1

It becomes a total soap opera eventually. I watched 1-4 and enjoyed 4 the most for that reason.

1

imkunu Apr 1, 2026 +1

6 is great. 7, Jigsaw, and Spiral are all varying levels of terrible. X might legitimately be the best movie in the series

1

1

Sweet, I’ll have to get back into it again

1

YuriLover_001 Apr 1, 2026 +1

If you like the premise of this but refuse to watch Eli Roth, I suggest reading junji ito’s “Ice cream bus” which has a similar story but is executed rather well and is actually unnerving.

1

IndecisiveTuna Apr 1, 2026 +1

TIL Eli Roth isn’t great in the comments. I’ve only seen The Green Inferno by him and that was a rough watch.

1

JohnnyJayce Apr 1, 2026 +1

I've only seen "Knock Knock" and that was enough. At least it gave us Ana de Armas. I swear Keanu wasn't even trying to act in that movie.

1

LeafBoatCaptain Apr 1, 2026 +1

Isn’t that a Junji Ito story?

1

PeteCampbellisaG Apr 1, 2026 +1

"Ice Cream Bus" has a way better and more disturbing premise than this.

1

BestShivvyNA Apr 1, 2026 +1

Maybe idk but I think it may be based on this comic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice\_Cream\_Man\_(comics)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cream_Man_(comics)) EDIT: I was wrong based on the comments here, feelsbad Would recommend the comic tho

1

stepfordcuckoo Apr 1, 2026 +1

I hope its not based on this comic. The comic is one of the best things being published today. Feels like a waste for someone like Roth to be making a film based on it. Im sure its just a shock horror film unrelated to the comic. Which is fine.

1

BestShivvyNA Apr 1, 2026 +1

Yeah thats pretty valid honestly, would def go to waste here Would love something similar to Cabinet of Curiosities by Guillermo Del Toro for this

1

heysupmanbruh Apr 1, 2026 +1

Why’s it so good

1

Shin-Kaiser Apr 1, 2026 +1

Surely it must be? The premise is too unique/strange/bizarre for it not to be. If this isn't based on the comic, I would seriously be looking into litigation if I were the publishers right now...

1

candygram4mongo Apr 1, 2026 +1

There's literally nothing in common besides horror and ice cream. This is apparently some kind of take on Cooties (2014), of all things. The comic is a highly experimental Twilight Zone/EC horror-esque anthology series with the eponymous Ice Cream Man being some kind of eldritch adomination that just sorts of hangs around on the fringes.

1

Shin-Kaiser Apr 1, 2026 +1

honestly, the comic sounds way better than whatever this shit is here....

1

candygram4mongo Apr 1, 2026 +1

Can confirm.

1

stepfordcuckoo Apr 1, 2026 +1

I follow Maxwell Prince on Instagram and he has nothing about this. In 2024 he mentioned film rights had been picked up by the producers who made Wednesday… but IMDb has not got this listed under those two…. So it might be a case of hollywood trying to make the 2 of the same film again? “Hey Sony have some ice cream man movie, might be something in that. I want an ice cream man horror film”.

Damn. He went pretty hard on that. Even calling for Greta Thunberg to be “eaten by cannibals” because she supported humanitarian aid to Palestinians. At least his movies always sucked, so we’re not really losing anything by writing him off.

1

bindersfull-ofwomen Apr 1, 2026 +1

He called Jonathan Glazer, a Jew winning an Oscar for a Holocaust movie, *antisemitic* for saying that he doesn't want his "Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people." The man is nuts.

I just want to make a bit of a compilation, based on IMDB budget/box office on Roth, because people think he shouldn't be able to make any movies. I am in no way saying he is a good film maker, or a good person, just that he seems to have a lot of fans when it comes to making movies profitable. Thanksgiving. Budget: 15mil, box office 46mil. House with Clocks and Jack Black. Budget: 42mil, bo 131mil. Death Wish. Budget 30mil (for f****** what?), bo 49mil Knock Knock. Budget 2,5mil, bo 5,5. Green Inferno. Budget 5mil, bo 12mil.

Weapons already successfully did it, with flare. Is this a rehash of the idea?

I mean this doesn't sound like Weapons. Weapons wasn't even about kids attacking people, its just what happened at the end to one person.

No, not in the least. This is a completely original (in terms of IP, not in terms of creativity) concept, it appears.

Sweet! Eli Roth is amazing! And he’s actually marked for Death! So he didn’t have the Power or Money to make that Documentary. And that ended up becoming Hostel 1 and Hostel 2. Eli Roth received an actual promise of Death if the Documentary footage was released. The Hostel movies would have been better if they weren’t based on Truth.

People who hate on Roth are just lonely nerds. He's the only true modern exploitation filmmaker.

Even lonely nerds aren't out of touch enough to think Roth is the "only true modern exploitation filmmaker"

Is this a prequel for I Saw the TV Glow?
