According to a MySpace bulletin posted by [[Rudy Coby]]: "The original version of 'I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies' is eighteen minutes long and [Manson] did it one take freestyling - I hope he releases it as an extra or on the website because it absolutely hypnotizing. He was going to put it on the album but he couldn't put all 15 songs on if he did that." The version on the album was recorded hours after [[15]], when Manson was told he still had nine minutes left for the song. Manson told Spanish Kerrang that the take features "none of the bitterness, vulnerability or anger of the first take." He told the Australian News months later that the first version, which he claimed was 25-minutes long, "I would class as threatening. The take on the album I would say is bitter."

On March 11, 2009, The Heirophant user MindRelapse commented on the song, saying '"I Want To Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" is [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]]'s most un-commercial pick for a lead single yet, and there were one or two other songs he could've picked that would have made his 'new sound' more accessible. But Manson isn't looking for what's accessible. "I Want To Kill You..." has Manson abandoning that idea altogether. The lyrics are as harsh as you'd expect and even though it's exceedingly long, it progresses (and 'contracts' would be a suitable counterpart) at a pace that makes it seem like only four minutes long. This is what "[[If I Was Your Vampire]]" lacked in terms of replay value; you don't want to skip a single passage to get to your 'favorite' part because on suite compliments the other.'

According to a recent MySpace bulletin posted by Rudy Coby, the song was allegedly part of an 18-minute jamming session: "The original version of 'I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies' is eighteen minutes long and [Manson] did it one take freestyling - I hope he releases it as an extra or on the website because it absolutely hypnotizing. He was going to put it on the album but he couldn't put all 15 songs on if he did that."
  
 
"I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" was one of the more positively reviewed songs by Thrash Hits' Hugh Platt. Platt asserted that the nine-minute song lives "up to its mouthful of a title," throbbing "malevolently like an engorged vein on a serial killer's forehead. With Manson hissing, “cut...cut...cut...CUT" over and over, it's humid, ghoulish in its oppressiveness, and will make you shudder like a murderous fever dream. It's magnificent."<ref>[http://www.thrashhits.com/2009/05/album-marilyn-manson-the-high-end-of-low/ Album: Marilyn Manson - The High End Of Low]. Hugh Platt. Thrash Hits. May 25, 2009</ref>

Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb described the song as an epic with "a bass-driven neo-soundtrack sprawl. It sounds like two basses at once which, for all those who believe that the bass guitar is the greatest of all instruments, makes this a real treat." He also compared the song to Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead", in terms of being an "atmospheric workout with lots of space." Robb further attested that "The outro is a great endless bass burp groove, one of those three note chugs as Warner screams about killing himself over and over again. Hypnotic."<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track]. John Robb. The Quietus. May 12, 2009</ref>

In his review for Allmusic, Phil Freeman, who was unsatisfied by the album, described "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" as "a one-riff trudge that never builds up any momentum," and noted that the song's title reads "like Manson-by-numbers."<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wcfoxzy0ldde The High End of Low].

==Music video==
 +
''Rolling Stone'' has confirmed that a music video for "I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" is scheduled for production. While this makes it likely that an accompanying CD single will be pressed, the song's total length of nine minutes renders it unsuitable for mainstream airplay, and so its status as a true single has yet to be confirmed.
