I really enjoyed the movie a lot except for the Ice Cream Guy, could've done better there but JOHN REDLINGER aka Max, is EVERYTHING !!! Dear God! Something that hunky has got to be a sin.....oh wait, it is. The movie itself was entertaining. I was living thru the lead actress, loved the kooky neighbors, the ambiance was spooky at times but John Redlinger.....holy cow....I wish I were a 30 something suburban woman with time on my hands and a yard that needs work!!! (watch the movie, you'll know what I mean). Take it for a spin, I bet you'll like it (not the ice cream guy, sorry). Hey John, call me! LOL :)

The Ice Cream Truck brings back style into the genre by allowing old school horror back onto the screen. The film has an 80s homage feel with excellent build up. The film does a remarkable job of capturing life in suburbia and the essence of how scary it can really be. Actor Emil Johnson portrays the ice cream man, a vicious character brought to life with his stylish-retro uniform and creepy vintage truck. Director & Writer Megan Freels Johnston will not disappoint with The Ice Cream Truck, check it out!

Had a ball watching Ice Cream Truck! Even tho the plot was somewhat predictable, the characters were fun and pretty attractive too. Just enough creepiness mixed in with some good old-fashioned erotic tension. Particularly enjoyed the music! Interesting score and incidental music along the way. Loved the actual ice cream truck, very cool antique! Surprise ending really threw me. I'd watch it again.

The characters could not act and the plot was ultimately ridiculous. So much more could have been done to make this a better movie. Pass this one by, it is a waste of good time. You can not go by a tittle of a movie. I expected more chills and thrills not just confused characters that confused me even more. I waiting for a big anything to carry this movie over but it never happened.

Let me start off by saying this is my very first review on IMDB. But after watching the ice cream truck, I felt compelled to leave my thoughts. The movie has everything right, on a technical aspect. Beautiful cinematography. An amazing 80s synth style score. Characters we get to know and care about. Set in a small town suburbia, which gives it that classic Halloween 1978 feel. It has great kills, but this movie isn't about the gore. It relies on tension and dread and our main character. Before I get into spoilers, I just wanted to say that I highly recommend this movie. I think most of the negative reviews you'll see on here, are simply because the viewer did not grasp the writing, or what the director was trying to portray. This movie digs deeper into the psyche, while still remaining a very fun and entertaining watch. See it!! Own it! *SPOILERS* AHEAD.... The whole point was that Mary made up the ice cream Truck Killer to facilitate her fantasies of reliving her youth and living on the edge, making it seem somewhat innocent cause its all in her head. Only for it to be revealed there was a REAL threat all along. There are several scenes where creepy things happen to Mary. Someone being in the house, someone knocking on the door, screaming somewhere in the distance. These things were not linked to the ice cream truck killings and the end reveal shows that those things really did happen and it was actually the moving truck guy. She completely missed that threat because she was so absorbed in her fantasy. The whole point of the ice cream man kills not being very realistic as to drive home that he wasn't actually real. He was a figment of Mary's imagination. He would "kill off" characters around max that served no purpose in her fantasy of reliving her youth. The ice cream truck is a metaphor for Mary's overactive imagination which ultimately led her to oversee the real threat. Which was the moving truck guy. He was ACTUALLY stalking her while she was busy fantasizing about reliving her youth, after becoming a mother at a young age.

Always check IMDb and never rely on RT score alone. My bad. Didn't do my due diligence. 60% on RT. The current score on IMDb is much more appropriate. 4.4 I give it a 1. For a huge waste of time. Spoilers: 1. Acting doesn't consist of just furrowing your brow. 2. No background, no explanation for murderous Ice Cream truck man makes no sense. 3. Creeper moving man shows up at end of the movie. No point to him. 4. Kid that was apparently murdered and his gf show up the next day. 5. None of this can be explained by "unreliable protag" trope since the actions of the serial killer ice cream man happen when primary character isn't watching him. Really stupid and I am totes going to blame Milennials for this. It's like cool generations skip a gen, X and Z are great; while Boomers and Gen Y are pretentious you know whats.

From the beginning, I thought this movie had potential to be a decent Horror flick. Woman returning to her hometown, nosy neighbors, crazy ice cream truck driver. Then it feel apart. The slasher ice cream truck driver didn't have a back story or reason for for his killings other than stating he was a "traditional guy." A flashback or two could've given the audience a motive for his deadly obsession. Again, it sounds cliché but if the main character had a disturbing childhood experience with an ice cream truck driver it would've added tension to the plot and made sense to the viewer. Without it, the villain could've been a dog catcher, paper boy, etc.

The dialogue was horribly written and the ending makes absolutely no sense and is never explained I wish I could give this a 0.

The lady Mary is basically trying to cheat on her hubby with a 18 year old guy. The supposed killer comes off a a creepy bisexual male. The only good part is the creepy moving guy with the 70's * mustache.
