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.

Me and my fiend rented this movie a little while back after spotting it in the video store! This is the kind of movie that is so awful you will pee your pants laughing! I've voted this move a one out of ten because I really wanna see this movie get into the bottom 100 to be recognised!

The tall retarded kid with the hunchback who's twice the height of the other kids steals the show but there are so many things to love about it! The AWFUL acting, the older sister who is portrayed by someone who is OBVIOUSLY a porn actress... God, I could go on all day about this movie!

If you ever get bored one weekend, invite a few friends over, get drunk and watch this movie! You won't be disappointed!

I actually know the asian kid (henry Weckesser) who played in the movie, we went to Juinor High together. The film was made here in Las Vegas, and it was just horrible. I didn't believe Henry when he told us he was going to be in this horror movie, and then I finally saw it. Oh man was it horror-ible. VERY low budget. It looked like it was filmed with a handheld camcorder (probably was). And to make matters worse, my bestfriend in high school had a copy of the tape because her COUSIN directed it. Small world for a BAD movie.

this film was actually awful, it cost me £4.95 2 hire this crap so i took it back and got another DVD rental free, do not waste your time watching this, it is 40 minutes of my life i cant get back, in saying that, it is actually that bad, u may need to see it for yourself.the plot, the cast, the setting, the directing was so bad i couldn't believe my eyes, i had heard off a mate that this film was apparently scary, well it is not. At all. she must have been joking. My 3 yr old could watch this and would laugh. thedirector and cast should be shot for producing this utter crap film. i hope they are embarrassed by it, they should be.

What can I say? I found this for £1 in a Blockbuster Sale - it looked kinda cheesy, so I got it for a sleepover me and my mates were having. And it was THE BEST FILM I have probably ever seen. Everything from the horrific camera angles, the slow and pained speaking, the terrible script and inconsistent plot line made this the funniest film EVER. It was like Goosebumps or Are You Afraid Of The Dark, but in film version!! We laughed through the entire thing - if you want a film just to cheer you up, or to laugh at with mates, this is the one. I want to find the director to congratulate him. A fine, quality piece of work. 10/10.

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 probably one of the biggest failures in the history of psycho thrillers. Yeah, it pretends to be a thriller with psycho stuff.... but unfortunately it doesn't work. Hail and Mills are not capable of creating an exciting story or tension. The film lacks of its long shots, ridiculous scenes (Mr. Ice Cream and a pupil somewhere in the grass???) and horrible acting. Worst thing are the children. While the main actor Joey is quite okay all other children are just annoying and overacting. No direction at all...

Well, but I have to say, I had fun with this film. I'm a big fan of Mack Hail and like his acting way. It's a good film if you don't expect anything and you've got other things to do at the same time. But don't waste your energy on it!

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.

The tagline of this "epic" was that, "everything has a price." Well, seeing this movie had a definate price. About an hour and a half of my life was utterly wasted in gazing at this digital piece of garbage. We laughed and cried and cried some more, but this movie just refused to end, no matter how much we begged it to.

If you're into seeing how bad movies can get, if your a fan of MST3K, or just some sick, sick, sick sadist, then this movie might be of value for you. However, for the sake of the future of the human race, Mack Hail and Jim Mills (the "geniuses" behind this movie) need to be forced to watch their own film to understand just how much pain and suffering they have unleashed upon the world.

at a recent trip to the video store - me and my friends stumbled across an unknown film and thought why not give it a whirl! I can only say that it is tragic that Mack Hail and his team of movie makers aren't celebrities by now. Everything about the film: the lighting, the special effects, the directing, (not to mention the acting) are top-notch and I've watched this movie four times this day alone! I hope that someone on the team reads this and sees how they've touched my life Luv Lynz x P.S, my favourite character is Roland! can I have his autograph? he really blew me away in the running sequence! thanks again for a great movie.
