In horror, killing kids is still considered kind of taboo. But it sure is fun to watch them go on a killing spree, isn’t it? Eli Roth’s upcoming movie, Ice Cream Man, is taking that concept to the extreme in its new red band trailer.
Roth directs from a script he co-wrote with longtime friend Noah Belson.
Ice Cream Man is set in an idyllic summer town. Well, that is, until it descends into madness when the local ice cream vendor starts serving sweets with horrifying results. The new trailer shows plenty of ice cream-stained faces, paired up with a lot of carnage.
It stars Roth, Ari Millen (Orphan Black), Benjamin Byron Davis (Red Dead Redemption), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Sarah Abbott (Sheriff Country), and Dylan Hawco (Heartland). Shiloh O’Reilly (Doc), Kiori Mirza Waldman (Small Achievable Goals), Charlie Zeltzer (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Charlie Storey (A Breed Apart) also star.
Roth’s newly founded media company, The Horror Section, and Nas’ Mass Appeal are backing the movie. Mass Appeal’s CEO, Peter Bittenbender, will executive produce.
Ice Cream Man will hit theaters on August 7th. You can check out the Red Band trailer below:
