*Spoilers Ahead*
Just how in the hell can you make ice cream evil. Seems impossible? Not if you're a Master Of Horror.
Directed by Tom Holland and written for the screen by David J. Schow
based on a story by John Farris this one should be a home run.
And it is!
This one tells the story of Buster the clown. He's the local dude who
drives around and sells ice cream to the kids from the ice cream
truck. Back in the day he was all the rage with the kids, traveling
around all summer performing tricks and selling frozen treats to all
the kiddies.
Now it's some 30 years later and one by one the kids in the
neighborhood (now all adults, duh) are dying off, not so much dying
actually but kind of well, melting.
Through a series of flashbacks we learn the horrible back story of what
happened one long summer day and it seems that Buster the clown may be
back handing out treats to the kids but this time the treats he are
handing out are to the children of that first generation and what
happens when those tasty treats are consumed is well, ooey, gooey fun.
The acting and effects are great. The story is strange but with
Hollands ability to drive character and the great performances turned
in by all involved you quickly find yourself wrapped into the fates of
all those invovled. A must for such an odd story to work on any level.
How can you not love an evil clown and this one is about as evil as
they come. Wonderfully portrayed by William Forsythe the character of
Buddy is an instant classic and a performance that is a must see.
A very nice Making Of feature is included as well as the usual
commentary tracks and also a reel highlighting the very cool visual
effects in this one.
A strong entry into the series and must have addition to your collection.
We all scream for this one.
