‘The Ice Cream Truck’ DVD Review
Image
Stars: Deanna Russo, Emil Johnsen, John Redlinger, Sam Schweikert, Hilary Barraford, Bailey Anne Borders, Dan Sutter, Dana Gaier | Written and Directed by Megan Freels Johnston

Mary’s husband gets relocated for work which allows her to move back to her suburban hometown. As her family ties up loose ends back home, Mary moves into their new house all alone and….waits. Yet in this idealistic world, something seems very odd. The Ice Cream Man, a symbol of youth and good times, starts killing some of her neighbors. Mary soon learns that the suburbs are scarier in more ways that she ever remembered.

Going into The Ice Cream Truck I have to admit I had some lofty expectations… When I read this movie was directed by the grand-daughter of one Elmore Leonard. Now yes, I know I shouldn’t let that factor into how I choose my viewing but its a good place to start.

‘The Ice Cream Truck’ (2017) Film Review
Reviewed by Jesse Miller

MoreHorror.com

Watching Writer/ Director Megan Freels Johnston's The Ice Cream Truck is like venturing through a lucid nightmare. The main character of the dream operates with a logic that makes sense to the dreamer, but everyone around this person and every sequence is punctuated with the sense that something truly disturbing is lying in wait.

On the day Mary Marsh (Deanna Russo) moves back into her neighborhood, she deals with Stepford-like neighbors, a creepy furniture moving bloke and then there's the case of The Ice Cream man, who slowly drives up and down the streets of this neighborhood in his 1950's styled truck accompanied by an old fashioned tune set to haunt your dreams.

As Mary waits for her husband and two children to arrive from interstate, she navigates the strangeness that is suburbia, going to local parties, meeting young gardeners. All the while the Ice Cream Truck lurks.

‘The Ice Cream Truck’ Review
Stars: Deanna Russo, Emil Johnsen, John Redlinger, Sam Schweikert, Hilary Barraford, Bailey Anne Borders, Dan Sutter, Dana Gaier | Written and Directed by Megan Freels Johnston

A struggling writer, Mary moves back to the quiet, suburban neighborhood where she grew up. Hoping that some isolation and a fresh change of scenery will unclog her writers’ block, Mary has arrived ahead of her husband and kids. In just two weeks Mary has to Not sleep with the local pool boy, stop an ice cream truck driving serial killer, and write the great American novel.

My apologies, if any of that sounded exciting, that’s my fault. The Ice Cream Truck is like a tall glass of room temperature water. It’s neither hot or cold, but instead just a bland, tasteless experience with nothing to really offer except a thankfully short run time.

From the synth-heavy score, to the smattering of faint neon purple lighting,...

Ice Cream Truck Trailer Will Give You the Chills
The Ice Cream Truck (2017)
Uncork'd Entertainment has released the new trailer and poster for The Ice Cream Truck, the studio's upcoming horror-thriller that will arrive in select theaters and on VOD formats August 18. This haunting trailer shows that the ice cream man, bringer of joy for kids and adults alike in the summertime months, may also have a sinister agenda aside from handing out soft-serve treats. In this neighborhood, the ice cream man is the most dangerous man in town.

The story centers on Mary (Deanna Russo), whose husband gets relocated for work which allows her to move back to her suburban hometown. As her family ties up loose ends back home, Mary moves into their new house all alone and waits. Although her familiar suburb is a constant reminder of her youth, something seems strange. A local Ice Cream Man (Emil Johnsen) with a love of nostalgia starts to kill some of her neighbors.
