If you’re nice, you get presents from the Big Guy. However, if you’re naughty, you get a hammer to the jaw. David Harbour is officially squeezing back into the blood-soaked suit for a second round of festive carnage in Violent Night 2, the high-octane sequel from action powerhouse 87North, the legendary production house behind Bullet Train, John Wick, The Fall Guy, and Nobody.

For months, horror fans have been tracking Eli Roth’s latest dairy-themed nightmare, Ice Cream Man. The burning question: Is this a sweet summer treat, or is it as painful as brain freeze? Having just survived it, I’m happy to report that it’s exactly what you expect—for better and for worse. Here’s my mostly spoiler-free review.

Feral Kids and Paper Hats Forget about cavities. The local youth eat this tainted dairy and immediately descend into a state of feral, violent insanity. Playing our twisted dessert vendor is Ari Millen (Orphan Black), who gives off some genuinely spectacular “stranger danger” vibes and anchors the movie with a deeply creepy performance. Millen is backed by a solid ensemble, including Dylan Hawco, and a trio of actors Roth brought over from
