'Ice Cream Man' Review: Kids Slay the Darndest Things in Eli Roth's Gory Horror Comedy

No one can say horror filmmaker Eli Roth doesn't have a sense of humor. The only question is whether or not he's funny. "Ice Cream Man" is his latest sick joke, a gory "Children of the Corn" riff about a supernatural Pied Piper distributing frozen desserts that turn small children into homicidal maniacs. The first time you see a little kid chopping their parents to bits with a demented grin on their face it's shocking. The second time it's merely gross. After the hundredth time, it's obvious that "Ice Cream Man" has only one gag. By the millionth, it's just boring. . . .
