I Hate You (Kill or Die)

About This Movie

I Hate You (Kill or Die) is an interesting piece of late '80s horror that kinda slips under the radar. It starts off with this boy, just a target for bullies, and you feel that palpable weight of his torment. The atmosphere gets darker as he grows up and, in a way, it explores that raw edge of revenge. That gas mask is so iconic—adds a creepy layer to the whole thing. The pacing is a bit uneven, which kinda adds to the tension. You’ve got some practical effects that are definitely reminiscent of the era, although not overly polished. It’s got this rawness that makes it distinctive, especially for a film that seems to be lost in the shuffle of slasher flicks from that time.

Solid revenge theme that resonates oddly well.Gas mask killer adds an unsettling vibe.The practical effects have a gritty charm.
