The movie features Clint Howard as a deranged ice-cream man who attempts to kill a group of teenagers. The film also includes a reference to the original "Black Christmas" star, Olivia Hussey, playing an elderly caretaker.
The review also delves into the film's unique elements and tonal shifts. For instance, the film is described as having a "happy dangerous Wharton" theme, a motif that plays incessantly throughout the movie.
