While writer-director Megan Freels Johnston makes some unusual choices that set her film apart from run-of-the-mill low-budget horror, too much of her movie feels warmed-over.

''Ice Cream Truck" goes down rather easy, the clashing tactics holding a perverse charm when the pacing or story focus seems to drift for minutes at a time.

This truck never gets into gear, and will have a very hard time tempting moviegoers on either large or small screens.

3/5

It has some scares, some blood, some complicated romance, and a few more things making it worth a watch.

The Ice Cream Truck is just an incredibly bland film and quite frankly that is the worst thing a horror film can be because you can't hope to scare people when they're too bored to care.

3.0/4.0

At times a fairly classic horror film and at other times a thought-provoking psychological thriller.

"Is it so wrong, to make it a bit special for the little kids?" A too-horny middle-aged woman moves to suburbs prior to her husband and children arriving to join her. Initially, the suburb appears normal enough, if even for the strangely-annoying neighbourhood wives. The presence of an old-timey ice cream truck which crawls the neighbourhood streets regularly is off-putting to the new resident, but little does she know the ice cream man ices the neighbours. Rather boring, with zero likable characters, I soon started rooting for the ice cream man. Just watch "Ice Cream Man" instead.

Good film until the disappointing ending. Great characters and fairly comedic.

Unfolds at a glacial pace, and then delivers an ending that might leave a lot of people wondering "is that it?". Perfectly watchable, though.

May appeal to those with the critical faculties of a pot noodle.
