The Horror Section is putting out Eli Roth’s next film, Ice Cream Man, in theaters later this year. It’s getting a wide release in over 2000 theaters on August 7th, 2026.

Ice Cream Man follows an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results. The film stars Ari Millen (“Orphan Black”) as the titular character, along with Benjamin Byron Davis (Guardians of the Galaxy 3), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco (“Heartland”), Sarah Abbott (Netflix’s The Body, Poser), Shiloh O’Reilly (Thanksgiving), Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and Charlie Storey (Thanksgiving).

Eli Roth is also starring in the film, and co-wrote the script with Noah Belson. The film features an original score from Emmy Award®-winning composer Brandon Roberts with additional music by Snoop Dogg, and horrifying prosthetic makeup effects by Steve Newburn (Thanksgiving) and Academy Award® winner Adrien Morot (Thanksgiving, The Whale). Cream Productions’ Kate Harrison (Thanksgiving) served as producer alongside Roth.

This is the first film from Roth under the new Horror Section banner, a studio founded to shine light on underseen and upcoming filmmakers in the horror genre. They previously put out the excellent Dream Eater last year. For more information, visit horrorsectionstudios.com.
