Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man is the inaugural feature from his The Horror Section label, with a broad North American release scheduled for August 7, 2026. Iconic Events Releasing will bring the film to more than two thousand theaters nationwide.
The story centers on a sunlit summer town that descends into nightmare as a roaming ice-cream vendor dispenses sweet treats that carry horrific consequences. The cast includes Eli Roth and Ari Millen as the icy‑mannered man, along with Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer and Charlie Storey.
Roth’s horror‑genre résumé—spanning Cabin Fever, Hostel and Thanksgiving—continues here as he returns to the screen while expanding his production venture. Ice Cream Man also marks the first project under The Horror Section banner, with Nas serving as an executive producer.
Beyond this feature, The Horror Section is lining up titles such as Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! (co‑financed with Snoop Dogg) and Stiletto from director Sam Gonzalez Jr. and producer/star Gigi Gustin.
