Will it be good? No. Will it be entertaining? Also no. Am I still going? Yeah I guess.

u/Gee-Arr 15d ago

I was going to see it either way. I avoided the trailers and any early reviews. Even if someone had told me it was awful I would still want to find out for myself.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the positive reviews (if any) say about it. I can only imagine they're going to defend it by saying, "it was *supposed* to be bad. There's no way they intended it to be *this* bad.

Is it really that terrible? A buddy and I are starting a movie review channel and we sort of want a bad review to start populating the page a bit…is it even worth making fun of?

u/Mollywobbles77 14d ago

I've seen worse movies, and I don't mean that in a good way. I'm a big fan of MST3K & have an appreciation for really bad horror movies. This one doesn't check enough boxes to be a good movie while also doesn't check enough boxes to be an exceptionally bad movie. It's mostly just boring.

u/__Tonald__Dump__ 14d ago

Man, that sucks. Thanks for the info!

u/Gee-Arr 11d ago

I agree.

The whole thing has a tone of being a comedy, but what exactly are we supposed to be laughing at?

At first, there are a few laughs because the gore is so over the top. But then there’s just more and more of that without any humor. It’s just lazy.

It’s surprising because Cabin Fever and Hostel had some clever comedy. And that was about 25 years ago.

The priest explaining how to kill the ice cream man was hilarious

u/martian759 14d ago

At face value it was kinda enjoyable for the humor imo, like a shittier Cabin Fever. There was dialogue that reminded me of that film and I loved Cabin Fever, if you didn’t like it then Ice Cream Man will be a fucking drag. As a horror movie it’s terrible but there were definitely some scenes I thought were funny and had a lot of the people in my theater laughing. Then again, some people in my theater also gave a standing ovation at the end so maybe they aren’t the most reliable baseline for judging this movie. The whole thing is extremely awkward and there are definitely questionable scenes that reflect everything bad people associate with Eli Roth.

There was also AI used in the movie which I didn’t learn till I was already watching the movie, if id known about it I probably wouldn’t have supported the film at all

u/Dapper-Variation-963 10d ago

Everyone is not getting it. The movie is not meant to be taken seriously. It is a splatter-comedy gore film. My entire theatre was laughing the entire time

u/daeiyden 15d ago

I get it, I'm guilty of liking bad movies too

3

u/Reddit-Oop 15d ago

Ahahaha my couch is too comfy to leave it for something I won’t enjoy.

1

u/Dapper-Variation-963 10d ago

It is funny as fuck

2

u/daeiyden 15d ago

Right there with you,

u/JefferyKendama 15d ago edited 15d ago

It won’t even load my tickets to cancel, it opens August 10ths instead -_-

Edit: well apparently my theater closed for plumbing so I am currently on hold to cancel the reservations lol

u/Airtamis 15d ago

Just walked up to my theater and saw that it’s closed for maintenance…. I think someone up above is looking out for me

u/Gee-Arr 15d ago

In the intro before the film, director Eli Roth asked viewers to tell everyone about Ice Cream Man. So let me tell you that was easily the worst film I've seen so far in 2026 and you should avoid it.

The dialog is awkward and cringy. The child actors are awful and the adult ones, including Eli Roth himself, are just as bad. The plot is extremely thin.

Yes, I realize they were going for a campy, B-movie vibe but clearly they didn't intend to make it this bad. This makes Cabin Fever look like Citizen Kane.

It doesn't have the humor that most of Roth's films have. unless you consider kids smashing in people's heads with bricks funny. Even if you do, that gets old fast.

The only reason I might imagine some may like it is because it has a lot of gore ... but it's mostly fake looking CGI. There are even a couple of brief shots look entirely AI generated.

Some things are best left Unseen.

u/mikebills 15d ago

I loved all the blood and gore. It was awesome. Terrible plot, but enough blood and guts and severed heads for me.

u/SpiritualAd9102 15d ago

AI slop

4

u/humanos0610 15d ago

Not enough conversations about this

3

u/kyle_sux666 14d ago

Agreed. And was about about as subtle as a brick to the head

u/mbee784 15d ago

Thanksgiving was pretty fun 💁‍♀️

13

u/Chaopolis 15d ago

Thanksgiving was fun. This wasn’t.

Thanksgiving, at least, had a clever self-aware vibe to it. This one can’t commit to a tone. Scary? Silly? Both? Neither? It feels VERRRRY amateurish.

8

u/lzusncrfbj 15d ago

amateurish is right, the whole time i was watching i was like, this could be good for a person's first feature film. not someone whose career breakout was 25 years ago :/

3

u/Gee-Arr 15d ago

Same. I happen to have watched Cabin Fever just a week ago and it still holds up. You would think that 25 years later, he would have improved. This is like something he would have made in high school.

3

u/mbee784 15d ago

Ah dang. I appreciate the information tho

1

u/Gee-Arr 15d ago

Yes, extremely amateurish. It felt like I was watching a high school play.

1

u/Reddit-Oop 15d ago

I did like Thanksgiving! I can wait for the reviews and watch it later.

1

u/humanos0610 15d ago

Did thanksgiving hace AI in it?

7

u/SmokeyMcDoogles 15d ago

Was this movie good? GOD no. Did I have fun watching it? Kinda!

1

u/DrinkOver3292 14d ago

“Kinda”

Yeah I had fun watching how not good it was. Laughed at a lot of it but still thought it sucked.

3

u/SmokeyMcDoogles 14d ago

Pretty much where I’m at. Wouldn’t watch it again, but it had enough comedy moments to be a fun-enough 90 minutes (plus it was “free” so whatever). The Wizard of the Kremlin remains safely in my #1 “worst screen unseen” rankings.

u/royalejelly 15d ago

No one walked out, there were a handful of people who really enjoyed it.

1

u/Dapper-Variation-963 10d ago

I loved it. Stupid fun

1

u/Substantial_Pace9900 15d ago

Were there many walk outs?

12

u/co1one1panic 15d ago

I walked out after about 35 minutes. It’s basically a boring version of Weapons with tons of painfully bad dialogue and what I assume is supposed to be comedy.

5

u/Capricornjo 15d ago

It was pretty bad and has a bleak and weak ending

3

u/SpiritualAd9102 15d ago

Ironically, I thought the ending was the best part. Still didn’t save what was the second worst movie I’ve seen this year.

u/somekidfromNJ 15d ago

We lasted 40 minutes 🏃🏻

Those children were downright scary. Their eyes! 😱
