Reviews
The film was heavily criticized in particular because of its explicit depiction of violence and its racist language.
“At first you think he's a normal cracker, but then the taboos crumble under the force of a constant bombardment by the most malicious, mean and humiliating racist comments that have been banned on celluloid to date. [...] But I Hate Your Guts is not the only place where I Hate Your Guts makes a mistake. So it is shown to the last rattle how a little boy dies. "
“Three escaped convicts tyrannize and torture a family, although they do not shy away from brutal murders, including those of children. A classic action pattern of the gangster film is not analyzed here as an exceptional psychological situation, but misused as a reason for the representation of sadisms. "
