The plot of Ice Cream Man seems relatively simple: a man rides around in an ice cream truck and kills people. But it actually goes deeper than that (not much deeper, but a little). Ice Cream Man is the story of a child who witnesses the murder of The Ice Cream King and ends up in a mental hospital. When eventually released, he takes the reins and starts delivering the ice cream to the kids in the neighborhood. However, he's been mixing in ingredients that aren't usually associated with ice cream. I won't tell you what, but it's not too difficult to figure it out, especially when people (and dogs) from the neighborhood start disappearing. This movie is exceptionally predictable and meets all the low-budget gore standards necessary to be a B-movie. However, Clint Howard in the role of the Ice Cream Man does an admirable job with the role. His sneering-yet-cheerful portrayal of the Ice Cream Man is equal parts creepy and brilliant. The quirks and facial expressions really make the character. Even more impressive is the fact that there are actually parts where you'll sympathize with the Ice Cream Man (up until he kills again). There is also some (intentional) comedy mixed into the story. The scenes in the mental hospital are especially funny albeit odd. Overall, this movie is a must for B-movie fans. It'll certainly make you think twice before buying ice cream from a man in a truck, that's for sure.Read full review
When I saw this DVD listed, and I saw that the star was Clint Howard, I wanted to see if his acting abilities had improved since his days on The Andy Griffith Show. He played Leon, the little boy that always offered his sandwich to anyone that came by. Well, not much has changed. Howard plays the role of the neighborhood ice cream man. As a child he witnesses the murder of the ice cream man he used to run after every summer. In his role, Howard seems to have forgotten his lines on more than one occasion which explains all of the hesitations. If you are wanting the worst movie EVER made....this is the one....and you will probably laugh out loud occasionally. If you want a GOOD movie, find one directed by his brother, Ron.

I bought this movie initially because I used to rent it every weekend when I went to visit my grandmother. It's pretty good as far as older indie horror films go. My little brother who is now 17 is still overly obsessed with this movie. Beware of your neighborhood Ice Cream Man!!!!
