Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man (2026) is a Soft Serve of Gory Gags

Modern Horror Master Eli Roth is back with another serving of gory madness in Ice Cream Man (2026) 🍦💀🍦

Join your horror hosts Kimmi & Jon as the break down Eli Roth's newest flick, and all of the bizarre choices that make Ice Cream Man (2026) the goriest but also the strangest horror movie of the summer season. According to Eli Roth, this movie has more kills than all of his previous movies combined! We haven't been keeping track but based on the body count of this new nightmare, the math checks out.

Note: Drive Home from the Drive-in reviews are Full Spoiler Discussion BUT! given that we're dropping this review a few days before the movie hits theatres, we try to keep the discussion (mostly) spoiler free for the first 20 or so minutes. Want to know whether to watch or pass without the spoil?

Verdict: We're really conflicted on this one. Ice Cream Man (2026) has a TON of gory gags and fun kills....but it's also a little boring. We say check it out if you like seeing possessed kids scalp their parents and if you're able to see the movies with a group of friends or a rowdy crowd. 

And as a special treat, we've recorded this DHFTDI in video! Glorious color! All the dimensions! Tune in via The Fiend Club on Patreon and see all our silly facial expressions while we review the most divisive movie of the year.
