‘The Ice Cream Truck’ Will Soon Reach Its Destiantion, On Blu-ray And DVD

Writer-director Megan Freel Johnston’s psychological thriller The Ice Cream Truck (review) will be arriving on Blu-ray and DVD this week from Uncork’d Entertainment. In the film, 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 than she ever remembered. Deanna Russo (Being Human, Gossip Girl) stars as Mary. Dana Gaier (Despicable Me 3), John Redlinger (Thirst, Banshee), Emil Johnsen (Isolerad), Hilary Barraford (Go For Sisters), Jeff Daniel Phillips (31), and Lisa Ann Walter (War of the Worlds) co-star in The Ice Cream Truck which our writer Jeffrey Scott labeled as a “sweet treat” (review).

Movie Review: ‘The Ice Cream Truck’ Is A Slow Rolling Suburban Tale.

It’s not always true that you can never go home again. In fact, Mary, her husband and their two children are all relocating to the suburbs of Mary’s hometown. Mary arrives at their new home first, while her husband and kids wrap up things back in Seattle before coming out to join her. Left on her own to face the suburban monotony, Mary makes an earnest attempt to play nice with local suburbanites. Existing in the suburbs is not what it used to be and is definitely not for the faint of heart, and for Mary it’s the equivalent of fitting a square peg in a round hole. But complacency can be a dangerous thing in the ‘burbs, especially when some dangers are hidden behind a seemingly innocent facade.
