Regardless, it is well-made horror that never lags in its steamroll of committed carnage and comes with clever touches with these adults getting their just desserts.

It’s mostly pretty satisfying, even if there’s ultimately nothing surprising or essential here.

It would be more exciting to watch a documentary about the professionals, weirdos and professional weirdos making the fake guts and disembodied limbs than to watch the film they were actually working on.

While the inventive kills may appeal to viewers looking for unrelenting brutality, the repetitive story, weak characterization, poor dialogue and underwhelming performances leave the film feeling like an empty exercise in shock value.

Roth has intermittently proven that he knows how to make horror, but in this 86-minute misfire, it’s unclear what he is trying to accomplish.

'Ice Cream Man' feels like an algorithm's understanding of contemporary horror: a little nostalgia, a little religious trauma, some internet anxiety, some gore, and the hope that the audience mistakes the pile of references for a coherent point of view.
