He’ll be dispensing his chilling treats in the heat of the summer.
The Horror Section has announced that ICE CREAM MAN will be released August 7, playing on over 2,000 North American screens via Iconic Events. Eli Roth directed from a script he wrote with Noah Belson; Ari Millen (ORPHAN BLACK) stars in the title role, along with Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer, Charlie Storey and Roth himself. The score is by Emmy-winning composer Brandon Roberts with additional music by Snoop Dogg, and the makeup effects were created by Steve Newburn (THANKSGIVING, FRANKENSTEIN) and Academy Award-winner Adrien Morot (THE WHALE, M3GAN). According to the official logline, “ICE CREAM MAN follows an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results.”
