Mr. Ice Cream Man

Some people have taken offense at the many references in this film to the stupid fat black kid, but I grew up as a stupid fat black kid and so I felt this film was a lesson in realism for all fat black kids (like myself). I really related to this kid the whole way through. But how could I not??? THIS MOVIE HAS IT ALL! I thought Friday the 13th part VII was good but BOY was I in for a shock! This is by far the greatest horror film of all time! Evil DeadII hath no competition for this FEATURE FILM. The cinematography: ruled. The acting: superb. The writing: intriguing. Buy this film. Own this DVD. Steal this VHS anything to get your hands on the glorious, soon to be sequeled, Mr. Ice Cream Man. You'll never eat a poptart the same way again.

This shot on VHS monstrosity is one of the worst time-wasters ever, but that didn't stop a friend of mine from watching it THREE TIMES in a single weekend, much to the horror of everyone else in my house.

For the record I did not buy nor rent Mr. Ice Cream Man. I got a copy of it passed to me by a guy who was given an armload of promo VHS screeners from the dubbing house he was working for at the time. The other titles included Laboratory of the Devil, Ozone and The Dead Next Door, not too bad, so I took them all off his hands. Big mistake.

I watched half of Mr. Ice Cream and then, unable to take any more camera hiss, showed it to my roommate who had the weirdest reaction. He didn't love it, he didn't hate it, he watched it THREE times and then didn't really say anything except, "Oh man, that movie is really bad" with a kind of distant, disturbed look in his eyes.

I asked him why he watched it three times if he hated it so much and he just sort of shrugged. I eventually surmised that the reason he watched it THREE times was because he couldn't believe it was actually real and somehow figured subjecting himself to it again and again and again helped it sink in.

This is one of those movies that perplexes you, because in this day and age of moving pictures you'd never imagine that someone would make something this totally inept even if it was on a budget of about $20.00 Also anyone who put their kid in this movie should be prosecuted for child abuse.

This is very original film, The acting is not Hollywood but.!! It does have a moral for children in general not to talk to strangers and a lot of kids watch 18 films anyway these days. I did thats for sure. The plot is standard stuff but again it shows a kid had metal issues with his parents for leaving him .Its very rare now on dvd .Even youtube its not on .

Mr. Ice Cream Man is definitely a low budget movie, but I still enjoyed it. It's no where near as great as Ice Cream Man starring Clint Howard, but it's worth checking out. It's not very gory, but the Ice Cream Man is pretty creepy. It's really more of a comedy, than a horror movie. You'll hear a lot of funny lines and see some really stupid characters, like the cop guy. I did like the twist to the movie though, when the kid had his birthday. I love the part when the fat kid runs away from him and drops his cookies. That had me laughing. The way that fat kid ran was just hilarious. This movie is not for everyone though, like I said its low budget. I still enjoyed it though.
