What arrived is one of the most baffling and creatively bankrupt horror releases we have seen in years. On New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath and Sam dig into a movie apparently made for children, yet far too grotesque for children to watch. We discuss its personality-free villain, juvenile humor, incoherent characters, recycled horror imagery and a finale involving a basement freezer, a necromancer and one extremely convenient grave. Then the debate gets heated as we confront the movie\u2019s use of generative AI, Roth\u2019s misleading explanation and whether this disastrous launch betrays everything The Horror Section claimed it would represent. Is Ice Cream Man merely a terrible movie, or a warning about where cynical, shortcut-driven horror is headed? We disagree about Roth\u2019s intentions, but not the result: this thing is putrid.
