SPOILERS ahead because it seems necessary. The people here that rated this film 4 or less did so because they couldn't follow the plot of this film. Of course the acting was stilted. Of course the characters were undeveloped. Of course there were uncomfortably long stretches between lines. The entire movie is a story that the main character, Mary, a freelance writer, is writing in her head while waiting for her husband and family to arrive at their new home.There was no ice cream truck or ice cream man. She didn't have sex with Max in the park. Max isn't killed by the ice cream man who doesn't exist. Max's girlfriend isn't killed either. Nor are Max's friend and his girlfriend. The film represents the first draft of a new story/novel that Mary is working on. The only true thing that may have happened is the creepy, ridiculous moving man. He shows up in the real world at the film's end. Hardly anything else is real.This is a good film to waste 2 hours with on a Saturday afternoon or evening. It's not "The Shawshank Redemption", but it's not this horrible film that some are making it out to be. No, it's not a typical slasher film and that's good because most of that stuff is pure dreck. It's an interesting film with an interesting storyline and I thoroughly enjoyed it.IMDb should have deleted the user review section and left the comments forum alone. At least then people who can't follow a simple film could be corrected without having to write a review to do so.

It gets a 2 instead of a 1 because Deanna Russo is hot. The director, Megan Freels Johnston, announced at a Q&A after the premiere that there might be sequel about a delivery truck driver.This would be helpful if they were to shoot additional footage and re-edit the original. The goal being to put an actual plot into the movie.What is with the creepy mover?What is with the creepy party guest ?Why is the ice cream man killing people ? How can he stay in business when he only stops to kill people ? Why doesn't his truck have license plates ?Character development is done with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer. Odd when there are so many threads left hanging let alone the lack of a plot. IMDb listing is not correct. Avoid this movie.

A nice little old fashioned horror slash thriller movie. It reminded me of the scary movies I grew up with. Unlike the new age of slash and gore horror movies, and happy for that. I watched it after someone posted a mixed review, went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised with the whole thing from the acting to the story, Full of suspense.

From the opening, the score and the cinematography tell you this is not going to be your typical low budget paint-by-numbers film. The pacing is not great, but easily forgotten as you take in each awkward scene. The awkwardness is really what makes this film so creepy. The score grates on your nerves and the pregnant pauses punctuating the labored dialogue give yous a sense of being disconnected from reality. It's a clever and really original way of creating the ominous horror undertones your seeking in a scary movie. The ending twist came as a surprise - but if you stop and think about it, there were quite a few hints. In all, I really liked this film. There are so many crappy horror movies out there that rely and cheep jump scenes and a twist that is wholly irrelevant to the plot. If you're looking for something a little different, give this movie a try.
