With Eli Roth’s latest horror extravaganza, Ice Cream Man, melting into theaters on August 7, we’re serving up a sweet treat to tide you over! Actor Benjamin Byron Davis—who steps into the collar as the town’s local priest—sat down with us for an interview to talk chaos, kills, and a whole lot of glorious bloodshed.
You undoubtedly know Davis from his standout work across film and television, including roles in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and The Belko Experiment, as well as voicing Rupert Thorne in the animated series Creature Commandos. Now, he’s trading superhero chaos for pure, unhinged slasher terror.
Soft-Serve, Sprinkles, and Slaughter
Set in a picture-perfect, sun-drenched summer resort town, Ice Cream Man tackles the ultimate childhood betrayal: what happens when the friendly neighborhood ice cream vendor starts topping his soft-serve with pure, unadulterated madness?
Alongside Davis, the film stars Dylan Hawco (Heartland), Sarah Abbott (The Body), Kiori Mirza Waldman, and Charlie Zeltz (The Handmaid’s Tale). True to form, Roth has also brought back a trio of familiar faces from his hit slasher Thanksgiving: Karen Cliche, Shiloh O’Reilly, and Charlie Story.
