"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.
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."
"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."
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."
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."
