Eli Roth brought a playful moment to the Croisette this week when he swapped terror for treats. In a sun-drenched snap from the Cannes Film Festival, the genre filmmaker is seen savoring an ice cream cone while strolling the iconic promenade. His Instagram caption read, “Another scoop from #Cannes… 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦,” giving fans a sweet glimpse of festival life. (Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7fkcXNL6z/)
Festival Stroll With A Sweet Twist
Roth’s laid-back appearance at Cannes comes as no surprise to those who know him for blending shock with charm. Decked out in a casual tee and sunglasses, he paused at a street-side vendor to indulge mid-afternoon, turning heads as he paused for a photo. The image, with its pastel pink gelato and Mediterranean backdrop, felt like a palate cleanser compared to the blood-soaked thrills of his previous films.
Warning: This Is No Ordinary Ice Cream Treat
While the scoop may look innocent, Roth’s fans suspect deeper meaning. He’s been teasing his next big horror project, Ice Cream Man, and this playful homage to frozen desserts hints at the film’s chilling premise. As he announced in an earlier Instagram post:
“Meet ICE CREAM MAN. We are thrilled to be bringing the chilling new horror film from director @realeliroth – the visionary behind the Cabin Fever franchise, the Hostel franchise, and Thanksgiving, among many other cult classics – to audiences across the UK, Germany, France, Benelux, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand.”

Roth first made his mark with 2002’s Cabin Fever, then raised the body count with 2005’s Hostel, earning a reputation for visceral, boundary-pushing cinema. His 2023 back-to-basics slasher Thanksgiving proved he can still unnerve audiences, and now Ice Cream Man promises to blend nostalgia, gore, and a scoop of dark humor.
Whether Roth is taking a genuine break or staging a deliciously deceptive promo stunt, this festival moment confirms one thing: even horror’s biggest names need a sweet pick-me-up. Fans can expect more sneak peeks as Cannes rolls on—and maybe a few more scoops before the next big reveal.
