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.

Not as bad as some reviewers have said. As a horror it manages a few gory moments,but it scores most of all in the atmosphere it generates.
There is an unsettling feeling of menace throughout,with the characters reminiscent of Stepford.
Although I enjoyed the film,after a slow start,I was more than a little bemused by the ending.
Did she dream it all?if so,there is no obvious indication of that.
If anyone else can explain it to me,and others,I'd be grateful.
In short,enjoyable if you enjoy films that make the hairs on your neck bristle a little.

It was like a 6 minute short you'd find on YouTube was stretched just thin enough to make a feature length movie. The dialogue was a slow back and forth between characters and the story line was practically non existent.
This movie was definitely not what I had expected.
The movie started out quite okay, but quickly settled into a monotonous tone and just trotted onwards without any pacing or purpose.
The storyline was rather pointless. And then the ending just totally makes everything come crashing down hard. Of course I will not spoil the ending here, but let's just say that you are in for a very hard slap to the face with a dead, cold fish.
The acting in "The Ice Cream Truck" was good, but the actors and actresses had next to nothing to work with.
The killer in the movie was generic and boring. So there was nothing in terms of a sense of thrill or danger here, which made it just all the more pointless. If you are looking for a proper horror movie or a slasher movie, then your money and time is definitely better spent elsewhere.
