447:. Swinford alleges that Miller made sexual overtures to all three men who had intended to rob him before getting high, targeting Miller because of his homosexuality. Fox and Swinford both pleaded guilty to first degree murder on August 1, 1995; Birchett's case was 'converted' because he was only 17 at the time. Fox served six years for the murder before being paroled; when he fled to east Texas in 2001, he used the name Brian Stucker. As of June 20, 2024, Fox was incarcerated at Williamsburg Federal Corrections Institute and not scheduled for release until November 21, 2027. Asked about killing Miller in the documentary 737:" has been woven into U.S. culture. He specifically pointed out an episode of a talk show that had recently aired in which an audience member made the oft-repeated claim regarding homosexuals 'choosing' to be gay before proceeding to enumerate several reasons such a claim is erroneous. Baltake praised the detachment Dong uses in presenting the murderers' reasons, noting how it unsettled him as a viewer. Baltake found Dong's lack of verbal editorializing in the film to be most effective in examining the culture and politics that led to the murderers' belief in the acceptability of their actions. RenΓ©e Graham of 701:, gave the film a full four stars, and made certain to mention that the common thread in each instance isn't the sexuality of the victim, but rather the murderer's feelings towards what they perceive to be homosexuality. Means also noted how the film includes the daily hatred pervading U.S. culture among the vitriol so calmly provided by the killers, making the film a "beacon that slices the darkness". Means is especially impressed with how Swindle's interview illustrates the ineffectiveness of the law alone where 276:, and received agreements from 15 to be interviewed on camera for the film. Dong included only six of the interviews he conducted in the final footage.

Footage for the seventh murderer included in the documentary was compiled from videotapes of police interrogations. 565:. Johnson praised the film for pointing out the ignorance prevalent in U.S. society, and for its accuracy. Johnson criticized the fact that he appears "emotionally distant" in the film, but admitted to having affected that facade intentionally. Johnson also commented on the similarities between the fact that the crimes portrayed in the film are committed in darkness and society's judgments that force gay people to hide. 967:, commented that while the crimes themselves were disturbing, Elber found the idea that the documentary and the depicted crimes might be "received coolly and without compassion" just as unnerving. Elber also points out that the PBS version of the film begins and ends with audio recordings from answering machines of lesbian and gay civil rights groups where the callers promised violence to lesbians and gays. The 923:, 1998 edition, Eric Monder rated it four stars and noted it is an examination of "social influences and individual responsibility". Monder was impressed by Dong's ability to show each killer's motivations without making the murderers into martyrs. Monder does comment on the lack of coverage regarding lesbian murders as a detractor, but otherwise notes that it is an honest look into "society's casual networks". 874:, while impressed with the film, stated that it might be too tough to watch in a movie theater. He did state that it should be aired via PBS and shown in schools. Levy also commented that the lack of editorializing detracted from the presentation in his opinion as it allowed the subject matter to become impersonal. Levy rated the film B+.
