"I Want to Kill You Like They Do in the Movies" is the eighth track from the 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on December 20, 2008, in the month's issue of Revolver. The song is approximately nine minutes in length.

Music details

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 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.'

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.
