In September 2025, acclaimed horror director Eli Roth completed principal photography on his latest chilling project, "Ice Cream Man." The film, which Roth has described as his "most terrifying and insane film to date," is set to hit theaters in 2026.
"Ice Cream Man" boasts an impressive ensemble cast, led by Ari Millen ("Orphan Black") in the titular role. The supporting cast includes Benjamin Byron Davis ("Guardians of the Galaxy 3"), Karen Cliche ("Thanksgiving"), Dylan Hawco ("Heartland"), and Sarah Abbott ("Black Mirror," "The Body"), among others. Rounding out the lineup is Roth himself, as well as music from Snoop Dogg, who is collaborating with the director on an upcoming horror film.
The film follows an idyllic summer town that descends into madness when an ice cream man serves up sweet treats with horrifying results. Roth, who wrote the script with longtime collaborator Noah Belson, is thrilled to see his vision come to life after over two decades of development.
"Ice Cream Man" is set to receive a wide theatrical release in 2026 and has already generated significant buzz in the horror community. The film's international rights are represented by WME Independent, while The Horror Section, founded by Roth earlier this year, is handling the domestic distribution.
