neutral · AI labelView post →New Projector Review! I have no chill when it comes to discussing Eli Roth's much-maligned Ice Cream Man, which is a terrible that's creepy for the wrong reasons, made even worse by extensive use of generative AI effects throughout. It's actually worse than you think. youtu.be/GTWQe58vr4k
negative · AI labelView post →Eli Roth confirms that generative AI was used in his new horror film ‘ICE CREAM MAN’. “It was an opportunity where technology and creativity came together to help bring my vision for the film to life.” (Source: www.polygon.com/eli-roth-ice...)

negative · AI labelView post →Heads-up: the movie Ice Cream Man (2026) appears to have used AI. The film lists an “AI VFX company” in its credits called “Dark Half.”
neutral · AI labelView post →ICE CREAM MAN (Eli Roth, 2026): Significantly worse than any film by Herschell Gordon Lewis because -- and this is a very important distinction -- it was made by a professional, name-brand Hollywood filmmaker in the year 2026 and not a Florida-based entrepreneur in the 1960s.

neutral · AI labelView post →Reading an article about the behind-the-scenes of Ice Cream Man, apparently they had to shoot the sequence where the kids attack the school - a fairly big chunk of the film - in a single day. Yes, I remember that really worked out for Doug when he scheduled half of To Boldy Flee on a single day.

"I want to outdo Hostel & Green Inferno & Cabin Fever in terms of bat shit crazy," Roth adds. "It’s like The Birds but with children. I filmed with 100 kids going completely nuts."

neutral · AI labelView post →Move over, Clint Howard. There’s a new Ice Cream Man in town. Eli Roth will be writing and directing a new original horror movie titled, well, ICE CREAM MAN.
neutral · AI labelView post →Did Eli Roth need to use AI to make Ice Cream Man? No. But was the movie better for him having done so? Also no. But did it mark him out as a risk-taker who's ahead of his time and likely to meet with more positive reappraisal in years to come? Once again, I refer you to my first answer, viz. "no"
negative · AI labelView post →The only ICE CREAM MAN movie I recognize stars Clint Howard, and I’ve got a booklet essay as part of this release!
neutral · AI labelView post →Eli Roth, I am not stupid. I know you ripped off your stupid ass Ice Cream Man Horror movie from goddamn Clint Howard of all motherfucking people.
negative · AI labelView post →watched Ice Cream Man and yawned my way through it. the movie is one lethargic gag (kids kill adults!) repeated 40 times. tone is meant to be comedic but it's never funny. a truly awful waste of money, let alone 90 minutes.
negative · AI labelView post →… there already is a horror movie literally called ICE CREAM MAN. And also? Fuck you, Eli Roth.
negative · AI labelView post →I would absolutely have assumed that the AI-ridden horror film Ice Cream Man was an adaptation of the (not AI ridden, very well reviewed) sorta-horror comic Ice Cream Man had I not been explicitly told it isn't, that sucks for the latter!
neutral · AI labelView post →Ice Cream Man has landed and is taking a lot of heat for using genAI in scenes in the actual film (I haven't watched it yet). I think it's time for some people to realize, Eli Roth was never the horror wonder kid that everybody made him out to be. I'm sure he's nice enough, just not very talented.
negative · AI labelView post →tonight's movie im watching is Ice Cream Man (No not the shitty Eli Roth one) it's not bad! it kinds reminds me of a more adult episode of Goosebumps (shitty adults who dont listen, cheesy cinematography and its very 90's)
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a new video up today covering Eli Roth's latest (and hopefully last) movie, Ice Cream Man, about a town of kids turned into killers by a vengeful frozen treats vendor and his terrible, AI-generated cartoons. Click here to watch: youtu.be/mPkQaEINFg8
negative · AI labelView post →Slightly surprised that the majority of what I'm hearing about ICE CREAM MAN is that people are steering clear now because of the AI use, as opposed to already steering clear because it's directed by Eli "Sex Crimes, War Crimes, and the BORDERLANDS Movie" Roth.

neutral · AI labelView post →ICE CREAM MAN is the gross-out movie version of a dad joke. Eli Roth puts all his time and effort into a single, eye-rolling gag (in this case, the reflex). Then he repeats the same boring punchline over and over for nearly 90 minutes, just in case you didn't get it. My review, at @thewrap.com.
negative · AI labelView post →Eli Roth remaking The Ice Cream Man without Clint Howard is the kind of hack shit you'd expect from the director of the Borderlands movie.
negative · AI labelView post →#lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #filmsky #films #movies I thought Ice Cream Man was actually a lot of fun. Saw it in a Scream Unseen at AMC, so didn't know what it would be before the title card. Really wish I'd seen Day the Earth Blew Up in theaters. I will see Coyote vs Acme!
positive · AI labelView post →Eli Roth confirmed that his new horror film ‘Ice Cream Man’ used genAI in its animated sequences, one day after giving a conflicting account that described a hand-drawn pipeline involving his own drawings. www.cartoonbrew.com/artificial-i...
neutral · AI labelView post →As a cultural critic focusing on film, I see a work like Eli Roth's gen AI-powered Ice Cream Man has having more in common with, say, a bluetooth sound bar than a work of cinema. "But is it art?" you say. The answer is that, if you employ such methods of creation, then no, it is not.

I didn’t go tonight, because this is what I expected it was, and I’m still disappointed by the decision. And even more so by people excited to see it. Do better!
