Mary’s husband gets relocated for work which allows her to move back to her suburban hometown. As her family ties up loose ends back home, Mary moves into their new house all alone and….waits. Yet in this idealistic world, something seems very odd. The Ice Cream Man, a symbol of youth and good times, starts killing some of her neighbors. Mary soon learns that the suburbs are scarier in more ways that she ever remembered.
Going into The Ice Cream Truck I have to admit I had some lofty expectations… When I read this movie was directed by the grand-daughter of one Elmore Leonard. Now yes, I know I shouldn’t let that factor into how I choose my viewing but its a good place to start.

Jules (Noureen DeWulf) and Maria (Ashley Bell) have been needing some time alone together for a while, a chance to escape from the pressures of work. The place they booked exceeds their expectations. It's bright and spacious, has a pool and is in a quiet location surrounded by trees. When Maria tries to open the door to go back out again and it sticks, it seems like a minor inconvenience. She calls for Jules to give her a hand. But Jules is nowhere to be found. Then she sees the note.
The latest work from The Ice Cream Truck director Megan Freels Johnston, this feels less like a short and more like a pitch, but it stands well enough in its own right. Fans of The Last Exorcism will be delighted to see that Bell has successfully made the transition into adult acting, using those still haunted-looking eyes to...

Before it's time for us to serve up some turkey Stateside, here are my thoughts on two recent indie genre films I’ve had the pleasure of checking out: Megan Freels Johnston’s horror comedy The Ice Cream Truck and Jamie Dagg’s crime thriller Sweet Virginia, featuring Jon Bernthal.
The Ice Cream Truck: Akin to an early Tim Burton-esque take on the horrors of suburbia and adulthood, Johnston’s The Ice Cream Truck is a slightly absurd yet wholly relatable exploration of the anxieties of modern women, particularly those who don’t necessarily fit in with the typical “Bake Sale Moms” out there who always seem to have “it” together, living out their existences happily defined by their roles within their respective households.
In The Ice Cream Truck, we are introduced to Mary (Deanna Russo) who is anything but confident in the woman she has become over the years.

Watching Writer/ Director Megan Freels Johnston's The Ice Cream Truck is like venturing through a lucid nightmare. The main character of the dream operates with a logic that makes sense to the dreamer, but everyone around this person and every sequence is punctuated with the sense that something truly disturbing is lying in wait.
On the day Mary Marsh (Deanna Russo) moves back into her neighborhood, she deals with Stepford-like neighbors, a creepy furniture moving bloke and then there's the case of The Ice Cream man, who slowly drives up and down the streets of this neighborhood in his 1950's styled truck accompanied by an old fashioned tune set to haunt your dreams.
As Mary waits for her husband and two children to arrive from interstate, she navigates the strangeness that is suburbia, going to local parties, meeting young gardeners. All the while the Ice Cream Truck lurks.

Hoping that some isolation and a fresh change of scenery will unclog her writers’ block, Mary has arrived ahead of her husband and kids. In just two weeks Mary has to Not sleep with the local pool boy, stop an ice cream truck driving serial killer, and write the great American novel.
My apologies, if any of that sounded exciting, that’s my fault. The Ice Cream Truck is like a tall glass of room temperature water. It’s neither hot or cold, but instead just a bland, tasteless experience with nothing to really offer except a thankfully short run time.

Illumination and Universal Pictures’ Despicable Me 3 opens in theaters nationwide on June 30, 2017.
Illumination, who brought moviegoers Despicable Me and the biggest animated hits of 2013 and 2015, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, continues the story of Gru, Lucy, their adorable daughters—Margo, Edith and Agnes—and the Minions in Despicable Me 3. After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down the latest bad guy to threaten humanity, Gru finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis.
