Some great throwback tone and an almost surrealist approach to suburban life I can really get behind. I won't pretend that _The Ice Cream Truck_ will have universal appeal, the understated nature will bore some people, and the ending will aggravate some too. But it doesn't take the directions I was sure it would, and that little surprise is always nice, plus the acting was far better than what you would expect in this kind of indie Horror fare. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
**_A woman faces a midlife crisis in a new neighborhood…_** …with a dubious ice cream truck roaming the streets. This has a similar premise to Kristen Bell’s “The Lifeguard” mixed with slasher elements (obviously some “Ice Cream Man”) and bits o’ “Swimming Pool.” It’s subdued compared to the over-the-top “Ice Cream Man” but not in the same class as the outstanding “Swimming Pool.” Nevertheless, the slow burn proceedings successfully create a sense of alienation in a strange community with the curiosities and wonders thereof. The ending was unexpected, but everything pointed to it. Aduh. It runs 1h 27m and was shot in June 2016 in a Los Angeles suburb with the graduation party done in nearby Pasadena. GRADE: B-
